Servo driven feeds share many of the advantages with the press driven variety, such as minimal space requirement, low maintenance, and high speeds. However, servo feeds also provide benefits that press driven units cannot. The fact that they utilize a microprocessor based control gives them an added dimension. Features such as programmable move patterns, self diagnostics, auto correction, and the ability to communicate with automation – just to name a few – set them apart from other types of feeds.

Servo drives have been used for positioning applications in manufacturing for a couple of decades. The technology has matured to the point that these drives are more reliable and less expensive than they were in the past. The number of domestic and foreign manufacturers has increased dramatically in the past few years. The increased reliability, modularity, and self-diagnostic features of servo systems has done a lot to ease the fears that existed earlier, although even now it may still require a considerable degree of technical expertise to isolate some problems.
