Motion control refers to the precise control and regulation of movements in machines and automated systems. It involves coordinating servo drives, motors, sensors, and control algorithms to ensure highly dynamic, accurate, and repeatable motion.cross-ING develops tailored motion control systems for demanding industrial applications – ranging from single servo axes to complex synchronized multi-axis systems. Our experts combine mechanical engineering, control engineering, software development, and simulation to achieve maximum dynamics, positioning accuracy, and process stability. Depending on the application, we implement model-based control strategies, MIMO controllers, feedforward concepts, and modern machine learning techniques.

Vibrations and resonances are among the most common causes of quality issues, reduced cycle times, and increased wear. cross-ING analyzes the dynamic behavior of machines using simulations, measurements, and physics-based models. Our experts develop active and passive vibration mitigation strategies, optimize control algorithms, and identify critical resonances early in the development process. As a result, companies benefit from higher precision, more stable processes, lower scrap rates, and sustainably improved machine performance.

In multivariable control systems, multiple inputs and outputs interact with and influence one another. These systems are significantly more complex than conventional PID control. cross-ING develops MIMO control solutions that ensure stable and precise control even for highly dynamic and strongly coupled motion systems.

Many companies invest in more powerful servo motors or advanced control systems expecting higher acceleration and shorter cycle times. In practice, however, the achievable dynamics are rarely limited by the motor alone. The key factor is the interaction of the entire motion architecture.Mechanical natural frequencies, flexible structures, poorly tuned controllers, suboptimal motion profiles, and resonances often generate vibrations that limit maximum performance. As a result, machine dynamics are frequently reduced deliberately to maintain process stability and product quality.cross-ING analyzes motion systems as a complete system. Our motion specialists evaluate mechanics, kinematics, servo drives, sensors, controller parameters, and control software using simulations, frequency analysis, and real measurement data. Based on these insights, we develop optimized motion profiles, model-based control strategies, and intelligent synchronization concepts that maximize the performance of existing hardware.The result is higher acceleration, reduced vibration, shorter positioning times, and significantly improved overall machine performance—often without the need to replace existing components.
