OEM Solutions
While we primarily design systems tailor-fit to their production setting, some have become OEM automation solutions that deliver long-term value across multiple customer sites.
GLASS
DELTA STACKER
Applied Motion Systems has designed and manufactured Servo Lehr Loading machines for over 25 years, with many still in production today. Our latest Delta Stacker innovation improves reliability and smoothness through use of a parallel kinematic drivetrain, supporting payloads up to 450 pounds with simplified controls and automated lubrication. A lehr loader refurbish program is available.
IS MACHINE DRIVE SYSTEMS
The Genesys line of IS Machine Drive Systems is built for exceptional ease of use, reliability, and precision control, with robust components and intuitive diagnostics for simple operation and maintenance. Sophisticated motion controls coordinate all servo mechanisms from feeder to lehr, delivering smooth ware transfer and long-term performance across more than 100 systems installed since 1996.

PUSHER SYSTEM RETROFITS
Our pusher system servo retrofits dramatically improve performance across a broad range of OEM pusher mechanisms including Heye, Bucher Emhart, Bottero, and Maul Technologies. Our controls provide Hermite B-Spline velocity trajectories to smoothly and reliably transfer ware to the machine conveyor. With nearly 200 axes deployed at proven production rates exceeding 700 BPM on 16-section triple gob machines, let us show you what your pusher mechanisms can do.
MOLD COOLING SCADA
This system combines critical mold cooling control for glass container forming with a flexible, scalable SCADA framework, delivering a complete plant control solution with built-in hardware and software redundancy. Centralized data from hundreds of plant inputs helps operators make smarter production decisions and schedule preventative maintenance.
Take a more detailed look at how this system accomplishes adaptive mold cooling.
TAKEOUT SYSTEMS
AMS has developed Takeout system upgrades for Heye and Emhart mechanisms that provide superior ware handling using an optimized motion trajectory for smooth, repeatable motion that produces defect-free delivery of the ware to the deadplate. Enjoy improved IS Machine efficiency while reducing air consumption with an AMS Takeout System upgrade.
PAPER
PAPER CONVERTING
AMS has a proven track record in paper converting, offering new machine and retrofit solutions that improve safety and performance while expanding production for high mix and high volume product. Our sectionalization upgrades cover discrete sheet count, variable perforation length, coordinated thread systems, and zoned guarding for greater flexibility and a safer operating environment. Our OEM machines have solved core handling, core reforming, and cap insertion challenges with 100% inline quality inspection.
CORE CLEANER
Our core cleaners eliminate the injury risk associated with the strenuous, repetitive operator task of cutting leftover paper from spent parent roll cores. AMS core cleaners make it possible to seamlessly switch between parent rolls of any width and diameter, wound on any size core. Our sensor technology and precise motion produces a clean, damage free core ready for reuse at the paper machine. Additionally, this compact solution can be customized to fit a variety of plant configurations.
See how we developed our two generations of core cleaners.
DRIVE SYSTEM RETROFITS
Whether your machine needs a new drive system or a safety upgrade, an AMS drive system retrofit delivers immediate performance, safety, and energy efficiency to your production process. A drive system retrofit can often be deployed quickly with minimal downtime. AMS can provide an engineered solution for position, velocity, and tension based systems using AC and DC drive technologies.
