 In the mind of many machine control designers, mechatronics rule. Yet, the wise engineer should not rule out pneumatics — even for precision, high-speed applications. An industry overview shows that hybrid machine solutions designed to take advantage of recent advances in pneumatic control (fieldbus interfacing capability, for example) are gaining popularity. Control Design Magazine highlights a number of pneumatic applications that were, until recently, "reserved strictly for electric servos." And, their report predicts even more responsive pneumatic solutions in the future.
