Motion Control

Numatic Engineering is a premier resource of motion control products in Central and Southern California. Motion Control covers a variety of electronic and pneumatic automation products. It can be a simple position feedback air cylinder, high performance servo motor, or a linear electric actuator. Mitsubishi, the creator of the Q-Series Motion Platform and the world’s largest manufacturer of CPU’s, is also our top supplier of servo motors and controls.

Servo motors capacities are measured in watts or kilowatts. Servo motors are used in applications that require high precision or repeatable positioning for the purpose of producing consistent quality in a manufacturing process. A Servo motors precision is measured in the thousands of an inch of accuracy or repeatability.

Typical applications include

• Position
• Force
• Velocity
• Vector Mapping
• Electronic Gearing

Mitsubishi Electric has an installation base of over 1.5 million axes using SSCNET - one of the largest motion network installed bases in the world!

Mitsubishi Electric’s Servo System Control NETwork is a robust digital network dedicated to motion control. SSCNETIII not only provides precise coordinated motion control for up to 32 axes per CPU, but also allows for real-time servo monitoring and diagnostics. SSCNETIII is the proven choice for motion applications of all complexities.

Servos with SSCNET Interface

• High-speed, 50MHz optical network seamlessly integrates servos to the controller
• Position, speed, and torque control network
• Multi-drop configuration
• Network connection provides the fastest servo cycle times
• Quick release connection style reduces wiring and setup time
• Amplifiers are “plug-and-play,” all parameters are instantly downloaded at power up.
• Absolute positioning system is standard and simple to configure

Servo motors perform in very high speeds and complex applications. They also work in applications requiring a super slow, smooth operation. With such high precision and repeatability, servo motors are the ideal product for use in your most challenging applications. Numatic Engineering offers Application Engineering support and Assembly Manufacturing services to incorporate servo motors into your design.

Not all motion control applications require the level of accuracy that servo motors provide. When this is the case, a pneumatic actuator with closed loop position feedback can be used as a cost-effective alternative. Air cylinders and proportional control valves are ideal components for these applications. At Numatic Engineering, we can help you determine the most cost-effective, accurate motion control component to work with your most challenging application.

When dealing with electric actuators and linear electric actuators, Numatic Engineering has over thirty years of experience. Motion control covers multiple technologies and products and we have the applicable knowledge needed to find the right electric actuator for your application. We partner with some of the world’s best manufacturers of linear electric actuators, including Yamaha, Bimba and Mitsubishi Electric, to bring you the most innovative and advanced products on the market.
