AMK Automation Corp. to Demonstrate Flexible Machine Automation Solutions at PACK EXPO Las Vegas
Booth exhibit to feature centralized and decentralized control technology, including a working multi-axes machine supported by a single AMKASMART™ drive
August 25, 2017 - AMK Automation Corp. will exhibit some of the packaging industrys most flexible drive and control technology at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, September 25-27, 2017. The AMK Automation display will be at booth C-3702 in the central hall of the Las Vegas convention center.
"With the AMKASMART drive system weve taken what is typically a complex and costly product design and have simplified it, combining the power and motor requirements into one powerful decentralized machine controller that can support the most demanding machine designs," said Tom Jensen, General Manager and Technology Evangelist.
Jensen, who has been involved with industrial automation for decades, has an interesting approach to designing machines that work for nearly every application. "I like to think in abstract ways, and create answers to problems that customers dont even realize they have," he said. "For example, if theyre spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on spare parts and services for their current machines, my approach is to provide a solution for them to save some of that money to invest elsewhere. The motor and drive solutions from AMK help them do just that."
The AMK Automation booth at PACK EXPO will highlight a variety of new drives, controls, and motor solutions to help equip machine builders and end-users with better technology options, including:
Hybrid Automation Solutions: AMKs hybrid machine automation solution provides flexibility, with centralized solutions for when power is needed and the ability to quickly add remote modules. AMKs hybrid automation utilizes the compatibility of various system structures, including a concept of combinable drive and control technologies with central or decentralized drives, or any variation of these.
Decentralized Solutions: The AMKASMART decentralized drive technology from AMK provides true modularity for machine construction with limitless machine power and the ability to eliminate costly control cabinets. The AMKASMART product family includes a variety of servo controllers, such as the compact iX servo controller, the iC servo converter consisting of a servo controller with integrated power supply module, and the iDT "all-inclusive model" in which the servo controller is installed directly on the motor.
NEW SPINDASYN SEZ Linear Drive Motors: The new electronic cylinder SEZ from AMK is a linear drive motor system in which the rotor is pressed directly onto the screw. Featuring high and constant force, high precision and high energy efficiency, the closed-loop positioning and force control of the SEZ make it an ideal alternative to other linear technologies such as pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders, rack and belt drives and linear motors. With several options available for screw and strength length, motor type and acceleration, the SEZ is installation-ready and provides high rigidity without additional wearing parts.
