Website of free resources

One updated and expanded motion control website now provides interactive information and tools: The library at www.galilmc.com (of Galil Motion Control) provides free access to piles of educational material, including online tutorials, support tools, training classes, technical articles, and Tech Talk, a forum where Galil application engineers post their latest design tips. Online support tools also include MotorSizer for easy sizing of stepper and servo systems, and MotionCode, a step-by-step guide for developing motion applications.

Technical documents site

The new site of Ormec Systems Corp. at www.ormec.com was recently named One of the best new sites developed by Machine Design Magazine. Technical documents and software resources are easy to locate; each product page features related information and software, as well as linking to related products.
