Motion System Projects Complexity can easily spiral out of budget
Time to develop custom automation solutions• Linear guide assemblies: load ratings, life calculations, speeds, contamination• Drive mechanisms: speed, torque, efficiency, design, features• Motor selection: speed, torque, feedback
Time to research, configure & quote existing solutions• Research for a product, or just start designing a solution?
#DWwebinar
Motion System Projects Complexity can easily spiral out of budget
Make vs. Buy decisions• Design & fabricate, or purchase from a supplier• Multiple supplier lead-times and vendor management
Fabricating & proper assembly of custom designs• Will it go together as planned?• Do we have an assembly plan? Service plan?
