 MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS


Aerotech has a long history of serving the Automotive, Machine Tool, Assembly, and Packaging industries (automated packaging equipment). We have supplied key high-performance subsystems and components (controls and mechanics) for many applications both in production and in R&D.

Aerotech products feature innovative designs that advance the state-of-the-art in motion, vision, PLC, robotics, motors, and mechanics, while addressing industry-specific needs not adequately met by other products. For over 30 years, customer requirements have driven our product designs, resulting in the highest throughput, best accuracy, and highest return on investment (ROI) available today.

Aerotech provides the industry's broadest variety of motion control products to suit your application. We manufacture a large selection of high-performance linear and rotary brushless servomotors and drives, linear and rotary mechanical- and air-bearing stages, nanopositioners, and much more. Our expertise includes systems for shop floor, R&D, vacuum, and cleanroom applications. Our ability to provide custom-engineered products and systems to both end users and high-volume OEMs with fast turnaround is unmatched in the industry. Aerotech delivers quality, performance, flexibility, and the highest return on investment.

 

 

DIGITAL AUTOMATION PLATFORM FEATURES

Distributed software-based controller with 32-axes of synchronized motion.

Multiple high- and low-power configurations of drives and motors for every application.

One unified programming environment for motion, vision, PLC, robotics, and I/O.

Pre-packaged application specific functions such as multi-block look ahead for higher accuracy parts while maintaining high throughput, velocity profiling, CAM tables, cutter compensation, electronic line shaft gearing, and many more.

Uses standard RS-274 (G and M codes).



New machines or retrofit existing machines with substantially less startup time, reduced changeover time, and higher throughput.

Distributed control system using industry standard, high performance FireWire® (IEEE-1394) network minimizes wiring.

Completely digital controller results in lower maintenance and higher performance.

Scalable — no degradation in performance as the axis count increases.
