Automation

Top-of-the-line vendors to fulfill our comprehensive, best-in-class motion and control solutions that include motors, drives, and controls.

From the working end of the process to the final control of the motion and machine control, we’ll help you to specify the correct mechanical and power transmission products to complete your application.

Whether designing a new line, or dealing with problems on a current line, we bring robotics solutions to your company.

We feature the highest quality rotary and linear encoders for motor and mechanical position feedback of hydraulic cylinders including in-cylinder absolute position sensors and sealed aluminum profile absolute position sensors for outside cylinder applications. Our optical linear encoder products can be used in applications with position measurement to .1 Micron. Our staff is trained to assist you in specifying the correct feedback device for your application.

We specify, support, and sell non-contact sensors for use in product detection applications including laser sensing and measurement, plastic and glass fiber optic sensors, proximity/retroflective through beam photoelectric sensors, and ultra-sonic sensors. Proximity switch offerings include metal detection, inductive, and all product capacitive sensors. Units are available for the harshest environments, including caustic wash down and welding applications.

Our vision specialists can help you automate processes enhancing your product identification, packaging, and quality assurance. For additional support, we conduct product needs assessments, reviews of product specification requirements for measurement/gauging, features present or absent, color, and bar code reading.

Featuring quality Schmersal safety products, offering the world’s largest range of safety switchgear and systems—securing personnel, equipment, and processes.

Our engineering and technology support team will help you to identify and program the technologies that will best care for your in-plant and remote connectivity, giving you access to your programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motion controls, drives, and other supporting hardware.
