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?
