Animatics SmartMotor™is capable of being a master controller to both other SmartMotors and other devices. As a result, often times the motors become a replacement to PLC’s or other controllers in a system.

At a minimum, when the SmartMotor is added to an existing system as an extension to a machine design, it may only require minimal hand shaking with the main controller while maintaining its own subsystem control independently.

So what’s in it for you? Minimal handshaking means easy programming, minimal wiring, and reduced costs with maximum capabilities added for the entire system. A few examples of real applications using SmartMotor servos are below, testaments to success using SmartMotor technology.

We used the integrated SmartMotor because having separate controllers, drives and motors was limiting our capabilities. Now the connection is much simpler, and it's easier to increase or decrease the number of tolling structures for each Flexitool ordered.
Claude Sven Zurbuchen, Liné Machines
Integrating the SmartMotor into our machine design greatly increased the flexibility and reduced the cost. We were able to eliminate a motion controller CPU and reduce the wiring requirements onboard the machine.
This saved us time and money and helps with diagnosing potential problems in the field.
Grant Stockly, Envision CmosX-ray
When I needed a solution, Animatics was a ready-to-go, plug and play servo that made a big difference. The time and hassle I saved using their SmartMotor was well worth the investment.
