In Motion | July 2026

In our July edition of In Motion, it's Christmas in July as we unwrap ORCA-EIP™ and tune into the sweet sound of EtherNet/IP connectivity in our newest video showcasing the ORCA-STRA. We also explore how Industrial Ethernet has become the standard in modern automation, release a new technical note on how to maximize your ORCA™ motor streaming speeds, and share our Automate recap video so you can step into the future of linear motion - even if you couldn't make it in person.    


Orchestrate Your Next Project with ORCA-EIP™ | Christmas Came Early with Industrial Ethernet Connectivity

It's Christmas in July at Iris Dynamics with the release of our EtherNet/IP device: ORCA-EIP™.

To celebrate, we created our very own ORCA-STRA to play Carol of the Bells, synchronized by the ORCA-EIP: a purpose-built gateway designed to bring high-speed Industrial Ethernet straight to ORCA™ Series Smart Linear Motors. 

Deterministic multi-axis synchronization never sounded so sweet. Accelerate your projects with ORCA-EIP and watch the full video here!
