Industries & Applications

Robotics (fixed position)

Industrial robots are ideal for repetitive tasks. They increase manufacturing efficiency, throughput and quality. Often times they pay for themselves in just a few months!

Products marked - Modified started with a standard product and then were optimized to meet the customer's system requirements.

Products marked - Custom were designed from the ground up based on the customer's specifications.

Assembly Line Robots

ADVANCED Motion Controls Servo drives provide great performance and power density for robotic applications. Our servo drives are proven to work reliably in harsh factory conditions.

Welding

Positioning and wire feeders are used on welding robots. Often times the parts to be welded are not in a straight line or on one plane. Welding robots can weld curved surfaces and around corners with more consistency and faster than human welders.

Spray Paints / Coatings

Over spray and application thickness are the two main issues with workmanship. Switching to an automated system will show an immediate increase in quality and reduce the amount of waste from over spray. If there are EPA issues with the spray being used, the spray process can more easily be contained within an enclosure if a robot is being used.

Robot End Effectors

End Effectors are the tools at the end of robot arms. End effectors include tool changers, grinders, drills, polishers, sanding belts, etc. We've had many successes in this area...

Question: Why would a customer want to use servos for a grinding wheel? Wouldn't an AC induction motor do the same thing for less?

Answer: A servo controlled grinding wheel maintains the same speed regardless of load. They can also accelerate/decelerate in a controlled fashion as well as hit target velocities to match the grinding application. The result is better uniformity for automated processes - the same applies to polishers and sanders.
