Applied Motion Systems offers automation and drive solutions for engineered wood product manufacturers, supporting precise control of press lines, conveyors, and forming equipment.
Pneumatic air cylinders controlling veneer placement had degraded in a hot, dirty production environment, producing inconsistent positioning and downstream quality issues. AMS replaced them with Iris Dynamics ORCA smart linear motors, delivering precise, controllable motion natively integrated with the existing Rockwell ControlLogix infrastructure.
A major engineered wood producer’s LVL layup line was running blind — relying on photo eyes and timers that couldn’t keep pace with production demands. AMS redesigned the control architecture to dramatically increase throughput without stopping the press.
