Control & Actuation Systems
Servo control, electromechanical actuation, motion-control electronics and feedback systems for precise, reliable closed-loop control.
Overview
Control & Actuation Systems is one of RTS's core engineering divisions, combining electromechanical actuation, servo-control electronics, embedded control, power-drive electronics and precision engineering to develop high-performance motion-control solutions.
The division has capabilities spanning actuator design and development, analog and digital servo control, single and multi-channel controller architectures, high-power motor-drive and power-amplification stages, feedback and sensing interfaces, valve and sequencing control, embedded processing and complete control-system integration. RTS develops both the control intelligence and the associated drive electronics required for demanding electromechanical and hydraulic actuation systems.
