Motion Devices

Motion control is an essential, core component of automation. Motion control allows controlled movement of mechanical devices and parts for systematic automation. Various control methods are available including on/off control, position control, and speed and movement control. This is why motion control plays an important role in diverse industries including packaging, semiconductor, printing, textile, assembly and manufacturing.

Motion devices include motion controllers, motor drivers, and motors. Motion controllers generate electrical signals to deliver position/speed commands to the motor drivers. Motor drivers convert the electrical signals from motion controllers to control voltage for driving motors. Motors connected to the driver convert electric energy into kinetic energy.

Autonics offers a diverse range of motion devices including closed loop stepper motor system, motion controllers, motor drivers, and motors. Communication enable devices offer support for Modbus RTU, EtherCAT and CC-Link protocols for flexible and optimal motion solution.
