…mechatronic systems can help customers solve challenging motion-control problems. Novanta Inc., which counts Celera Motion as a business unit, said it has deep proprietary expertise in photonics, vision, and precision motion technologies. The company recently partnered with MassRobotics to help robotics startups in Massachusetts. Aura compensates for eccentricity Aura solves the largest source of angular error, eccentricity, which is caused by off-center scale mounting and bearing runout, claimed Celera Motion. Robotics developers often use two encoders to compensate for the error, increasing cost and power consumption. Aura has a built-in compensation algorithm, thereby eliminating the need for the second encoder,…
