Aerotech has released a publication that details its expertise across
a variety of demanding, high-precision industries. The 40-page Automation solutions
for the automotive, machine tool, assembly and packaging industries goes into
great depth within each of these industries, highlighting how Aerotech's products
have helped major manufacturers attain - and maintain - a competitive
advantage through the use of matched, high-precision motion systems.
Aerotech has been present in these markets for a number of years, supplying
advanced motion systems to many of the world's leading blue-chip companies.
Its selection as a supplier of choice has been further strengthened by the introduction
of its A3200 digital automation platform - the core of many of its modern
motion systems. Other products within its extensive range include linear and
rotary stages, servomotors and drives, robots, actuators and industry-specific
motion systems.
The company supplies key, high-performance subsystems and components (controls
and mechanics) for many applications both in production and in R&D. In the
automotive sector, it fulfils many requirements across a range of automotive
processes and products and can demonstrate an enviable pedigree across all disciplines.
These include the manufacture of fuel injectors, high precision welding, sensor
testing, paint shop automation, cam grinding, high-speed windscreen glass edge
grinding and shock absorber testing.
The machine tool industry benefits from Aerotech's skills across most machining
disciplines. Aerotech controllers are used by machine tool builders for contoured
milling applications to achieve high quality milling while maintaining a flexible
manufacturing process. Its controllers can also provide the high-speed point-to-point
moves required by automated drilling operation, and grinding remains a core
application for these highly flexible units. As the demand for higher precision
components increases, Aerotech has kept pace, especially with those associated
with electro discharge machining (EDM). While delivering the enhanced accuracy,
Aerotech has also been able to increase system throughput.
For assembly and packaging applications, such as electronic part assembly,
pick and place, marking and printing and high-speed registration, to name but
a few, the publication highlights how Aerotech's hardware works in harmony with
advanced software controllers and routines. The company uses a number of advanced
programming and control algorithms to ensure sympathetic, accurate and repeatable
processing steps that also cater for increases in throughput and general process
enhancements. With over 30 years of motion control and positioning system experience,
Aerotech has the knowledge and manufacturing skill to develop solutions for
the most demanding applications, including off-the-shelf, custom, and vacuum-prepped
products.
Aerotech is a World leader in the design and manufacture of advanced motion
components. It is unique in its ability to supply complete systems in which
each component is matched precisely - not only to the application but
also to each other. This product synergy ensures quality, reliability, accuracy
and the most effective cost of ownership.
