Motion Control and Automation

ASCO's C Series is a robust compact cylinder line that is designed to fit tight space requirements. The low profile design and variety of mounting options makes this cylinder line extremely popular.

ASCO's SH Series Guided Linear Motion device is capable of heavy loads and moderately long strokes and is available with a wide range of options.

Precise temperature control is critical to ensure the safer, more manageable extended fermentation that produces high-quality product with optimal taste.

ASCO fluid control and Numatics fluid power products have been favorites in beverage plants since the 1950s. Today, ASCO provides superior fluid automation solutions for engineers and purchasers at both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and at leading bottlers and packagers worldwide.

ASCO has introduced the capability to integrate multiple safety zones within a single Numatics 503 Series valve manifold. This new zoned safety approach helps the design engineer satisfy the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and comply with ISO 13849-1 while eliminating the components and complexity found in discrete safety circuits.

For more flexibility in automated production environments, Schmalz has developed the Suction Cup Balance SSCB: A gripping and clamping system with automated conversion capability for 3D mold surfaces. Workpieces of different contours can be gripped and clamped. Lean more.

For years, Schmalz has promoted communication from gripping system components to the control and even to the management level. Users can now read out data straight from the device and on mobile devices via NFC.

IAI's RCS3 Servo Press compact and low-thrust rod type actuator can even be used for simple pressing. The high-precision position control enables easy adjustment of the push force and the position control, which is typically difficult for oil-hydraulic equipment.

A wide variety of product types are in the new RCP6 series, which also include wide slider types and wide radial cylinder types. Allowable dynamic moment for the wide slider type is 14 times higher than the standard slider. Learn more.
