Aerotech: Dedicated to the Science of Motion
in order to benefit our customers.

Since 1970, Aerotech has designed and manufactured the highest performance motion control and positioning systems for our customers in industry, government, science, and research institutions around the world. Aerotech’s precision motion control products provide the critical performance for today’s demanding applications in markets such as: medical device and life sciences, semiconductor and flat panel, photonics, automotive, data storage, laser processing, military/aerospace, electronic manufacturing and test, assembly, research and development, and others requiring high precision, high throughput motion solutions.

Aerotech’s commitment to consistently advancing our product and value-added service capabilities is summed up in our motto, “Dedicated to the Science of Motion.” Always guiding our development efforts is our commitment to providing our customers with products and services that
provide:

• The lowest cost of ownership
• Highest throughput
• Highest accuracy
• Best return on investment

The results of this commitment can be seen in our Aerotech Timeline.
We are gratified that these efforts have been recognized by our peers and colleagues in the industry through awards we have won.

Our philosophy of building superior motion control systems starts with designing and manufacturing technically superior components. Other suppliers integrate general purpose components into their motion systems and claim to sell you a “superior” system. An Aerotech system begins with Aerotech motion components that are already best in class and specifically designed and optimized for the highest performance, and lowest cost of ownership available.
From technically superior components to high performance sub-assemblies to best-in-class highly integrated motion subsystems, Aerotech can accommodate the requirements of your application and outperform competitive solutions.

The performance of our products is complemented by the depth and breadth of our product line, providing our customers with a “one stop” supplier for a quick and efficient solution for your application.

From our award-winning Automation 3200 32-axis motion, vision, PLC, robotics, and I/O network, to our UNIDEX series single and multiaxis PC-bus-based and stand-alone motion controllers, Aerotech provides a controller solution to fit almost any need. Aerotech manufactures a large selection of high-performance brushless linear and rotary motors, and PWM and linear drives.
