Motion control design prototypes offer a fairly long list of benefits. Some are obvious, others not so much. The advantages of motion control prototyping include:
- Makes the product cheaper in the long term
- Cuts down on lead time
- Proof of concept
- Hands-on lesson in design and assembly
- Helps with large-scale, full-product prototyping
- Helps get product certification before investing in tooling
- Early buy-in from sales and marketing
- Enhance safety
