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.

IS Machine Drive Systems
IS MACHINE DRIVE SYSTEMS
The Genesys line of IS Machine Drive Systems is designed for exceptional ease of use, reliability and precision control. As a result, robust components are integrated with an emphasis on serviceability and intuitive diagnostics to make our systems easy to operate and maintain.
Together, these features contribute to the outstanding performance and longevity of more than 100 systems installed since 1996. Sophisticated motion controls coordinate all servo mechanisms from feeder to lehr, ensuring smooth transfer of ware through the hot end.

PUSHER SYSTEM RETROFITS
PUSHER SYSTEM RETROFITS
Our pusher system servo retrofits dramatically improve performance across a broad range of OEM pusher mechanisms including Heye, 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.
LEHR LOADERS
LEHR LOADERS
Applied Motion Systems has been designing and manufacturing Servo Lehr Loading machines for over 25 years with many of these Servo Stackers still in production today. Early versions of our stackers employe linear motor technology that replaces mechanical linkages with magnetic forces, eliminating wear, backlash, and maintenance even at cycle rates up to 25 per minute. More recent innovations include our Delta Stacker – which eliminates all flexing cables from the push and side-shift axes improving system reliability and smoothness through use of a parallel kinematic drivetrain arrangement. In addition, rugged, high-efficiency components deliver smooth lift axis performance and support payloads up to 450 pounds. An automated lubrication system and simplified controls make maintenance and operation reliably easier. A lehr loader refurbish program is available.
MOLD COOLING SCADA
This system combines the critical control of mold cooling during glass container forming with a flexible and scalable SCADA framework to produce a comprehensive plant control solution. Designed with hardware and software redundancy, these systems adapt to operating conditions and deliver consistent cooling air for optimum container quality. As a result, centralized data from hundreds of plant inputs helps operators and managers make intelligent production decisions and schedule preventative maintenance.
Take a more detailed look at how this system accomplishes adaptive mold cooling.
TAKEOUT SYSTEMS
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
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.
paper converting
pAPER CONVERTING
AMS has a proven track record of expertise in paper converting applications. Our new machine and retrofit solutions improve safety and performance across paper converting processes, while expanding production capabilities for high mix and high volume product. We offer machine sectionalization upgrades including all mechanical and electrical and software elements to deliver features including:
- Discrete sheet count
- Variable perforation length
- Coordinated thread systems
- Zoned machine perimeter guarding
- Pneumatic and hydraulic isolation
These improvements deliver greater production flexibility on mandrel and surface wind machines, better product quality, and a safer working environment for operators.
Our OEM machines have solved numerous challenges related to core handling, core reforming, and cap insertion with 100% inline quality inspection.
