Greetings!

 

We are back with valuable news and information for you!   

 

We have had several changes since the last edition of The ASP News.  Peter Aston is now the main inside sales contact, Jeff Ziegel is our new Outside sales contact for Western Wisconsin, and Todd Bacon is our Technical Support.  In our next issue we will tell you a bit more about each of these new faces.  As always, we look forward to serving you and your automation and control needs. 

OMRON sets the bar!
Sysmac NJ
Sysmac Automation Platform

Control, Motion, and Vision in one!

Complete machine control through one controller, with one connection and one software is how we define the new Sysmac machine automation platform. This architecture represents a major milestone in resolving the integration of control technologies without sacrificing performance.

 

The guiding principles behind the Sysmac automation platform are:

  • One control for the entire machine or production cell
  • Harmony between the machine and its developers as well as users
  • Open communication and open programming standards for ease of adoption

The result is a powerful and robust automation platform with the new NJ-Series Machine Automation Controller (MAC), that integrates motion, sequencing, networking, and vision inspection within a new software (Sysmac Studio). This true Integrated Development Environment includes configuration, programming, simulation, and monitoring with a fast machine network (EtherCAT) to control motion, vision, sensors and actuators.
