Requirements for modern industrial automation applications are becoming increasingly complex. It is essential to select the best possible solution for each application.
Electric Motion offers exceptional performance where precise control, accurate positioning and repeatability is essential.
Electric Motion offers distinct advantages over pneumatic motion. Acceleration and speed are controllable, and multiple intermediate positions are possible with high precision and repeatability. This positioning flexibility allows multiple cylinders to move in sync and change speed without needing to stop or overrunning position. Acceleration and deceleration control also allows the cylinders to glide into position without stopping abruptly, making them ideal for applications where vibrations and disruptive movement is not acceptable.
With no need for compressed air, Electric Motion offers a cleaner, quieter solution, and total cost of ownership can be greatly reduced.
