When precision, performance, size or application specific
constraints (business and/or technical)cannot be met by any other suppliers for large OEM customers; Aspen
Motion Technologies can offer prompt and viable motion control solutions at
globally competitive prices.
Our capabilities range from 0.5” in diameter to 36 inches in
diameter for permanent magnet brushless synchronous motors/generators with the
associated drive electronics from a few watts up to 25 kilowatts, often with a
DSP/ARM core and data interface such as
Analog, CAN OPEN, Zigbee, RS485, I^2C or other industrial communication
interfaces.
Aspen’s
approach is totally focused on solving OEM motion control business/technical
problems. This has often lead to “more than just a motor” solution resulting in
solutions such as tailored precision servo motors with feedback devices,
brakes, gearboxes, and integrated intelligent controllers. In addition, we have designed/developed products
includingextremely compact forward
curve/backward curve/centrifugal blowers, high efficiency systems (motors and generators), high performance magnetic
couplings , unique extremely compact liquid pumps, direct drive solution
(eliminating gearing) with integrated drives, and even complete OEM products per the customer’s specifications. More often than not, Aspen has found viable solutions to customer
problems while at the same time maintaining globally competitive prices. This
has enabled Aspen to routinely ship products,
not only throughout North America but also to Europe, Mexico, China,
Southeast Asia...
Aspen has comprehensive skill sets which include: FEA based
electromagnetic and flow analysis, power electronics and intelligent DSP/ARM
based control electronics, 3D printing for rapid prototyping, extensive machining capability, high volume
and mixed volume winding machines, efficient assembly methods, data logging,
operator training and quality processes to meet modern exacting demands of
quality and on-time deliveries. Aspen
has contributed to its OEM customers’ success by offering products to meet high ambient temperature and
harsh environmental conditions, customer
specific algorithms, current, velocity or position control, sensorless designs,
low noise quiet operation. In almost
every case, Aspen
has enabled the OEM customer’s own competitive advantage and therefore
contributed to their success.
