Industries We Serve
Every production environment makes its own demands. The motion control challenges in a glass container plant are nothing like those in a paper converting facility, and neither resembles what a custom robotic workcell requires on a general manufacturing floor. What stays constant is the engineering discipline required to solve them.
Applied Motion Systems has built and integrated motion control and automation systems across demanding industrial environments since 1995. The industries below represent our deepest areas of practice, where we have recurring relationships, proven systems in the field, and the kind of accumulated knowledge that only comes from solving the same class of problem many times over.
Paper Converting
Paper converting and pulp processing environments place a specific set of demands on motion control: wide process speeds, coordinated multi-axis tension systems, heavy loads, and production schedules that leave little tolerance for downtime. AMS has engineered core cleaners, drive system retrofits, and paper converting machine upgrades for facilities where operator safety and machine uptime are equally non-negotiable. Our work in this industry spans new machine builds, drive conversions, and full production line modernization.
Glass Container
AMS has been engineering motion control systems for glass container production since 1996. Our IS Machine Drive Systems, Pusher System retrofits, Lehr Loaders, and Mold Cooling SCADA solutions are installed across more than 100 facilities, some running in excess of 700 bottles per minute. We understand the hot end as a complete system, from feeder to lehr, and engineer the motion and control architecture around the throughput and reliability demands that glass container production requires.
General Industrial Automation
Applied Motion Systems was founded on a simple premise: the most demanding motion control problems deserve engineers who treat them as engineering problems, not procurement exercises. Since 1995, we’ve designed, built, and integrated automation systems across industries and applications that range from the highly repetitive to the genuinely unprecedented, a 122-axis carbon fiber layup machine, an undersea tidal generator array, precision stages measured in picometers, and production lines running hundreds of cycles per minute.
What connects that range isn’t a product catalog. It’s a methodology: understand the machine, the environment, and the people who depend on it before specifying anything. Then engineer a system built to last, documented to be maintained, and designed to perform beyond what the customer believed was possible.
Robotics
Buyers searching for a robotics integrator are usually looking for someone who can make a robot work in their facility, not someone who can sell them one. Applied Motion Systems approaches robotic integration the same way we approach every automation challenge: the cell design is the engineering problem, and the robot is one component of it. We design workcells around your floor space, cycle time, upstream and downstream dependencies, and the operators and maintenance staff who will live with the system after we leave. From vision-guided assembly and pick-and-place to collaborative robot cells and end-of-line automation, AMS handles cell design, fabrication, controls, and programming under one roof.
