Chuck Lewin is Founder and CEO of Performance Motion Devices Inc. In 1992 Lewin developed a motion control on an IC — technology to found PMD. In less than a year, the company released its first IC multi-axis motion processor with functions previously only on board-level motion control products. In 2013, the company launched a new digital-amplifier line in its drive family.
