Motion and servo control

Precise positioning and synchronised movement for axes, gantries and handling units. We size the servo axes, build the panel, program the motion and tune every axis.

Servo axis and motion profile A servo amplifier drives a servo motor that moves a carriage along an axis. Below, the speed profile: accelerate, run at constant speed, decelerate and stop exactly at the target position. Servo amplifier Servo motor Target AccelerateConstant speedDecelerate Speed
A servo axis follows a precise speed profile and stops exactly at the target position.

What you get

Complete servo axes, from motor sizing to a tuned, running machine.

  • Axis sizingMotor and amplifier selected for your load, speed and accuracy.
  • Panel design and buildServo amplifiers, power and safety wired into the control panel.
  • Motion programmingPositioning, synchronised axes and interpolation from the PLC or a motion module.
  • Tuning and commissioningEvery axis tuned and tested on your machine.
  • SafetySafe torque off (STO) and further drive safety functions where needed.

Where servo control is used

Typical machines we equip with servo axes.

  • Positioning axes
  • Gantries and Cartesian systems
  • Indexing tables
  • Feeding and cut-to-length
  • Synchronised conveyors
  • Handling and pick-and-place units

Our own PM-PLT palletizer runs on Mitsubishi servo motors.

From design to a running machine

One team handles the whole panel.

  1. DesignElectrical schematics, component selection and panel layout.
  2. BuildAssembly and wiring of the panel in our workshop.
  3. ProgramMotion programs and axis tuning for your machine.
  4. CommissionInstallation, start-up and training on site, with service afterwards.
