A relationship between Micromech and AN Technology has resulted in the successful production of state of the art PC/Ethernet controlled 4-axis machines combining both Stepper and Servo technology
When Micromech Ltd supplied a kit of Motion Control Components to Dr John Mason's Company AN Technology which designs and builds such curiously sounding machines as tomographic segmented gamma scanners, he decided to allow his daughter Theodora to pass judgement on the machine's Rotary Axis.
Her resulting verdict was:"it's not half as exciting as DisneyWorld!" Quite a good accolade, as it turns out, for a piece of equipment which measures the Gamma-radiation levels being emitted from drums of Nuclear Waste Products.
Micromech has been chosen by AN Technology as Engineering Partners to calculate and specify their Motion Control needs for the many varying projects they are confronted with.
This relationship has resulted in the successful production of "state of the art" PC/Ethernet controlled 4-axis machines combining both Stepper and Servo technology.
Micromech is a Motion Control and Integration Specialist with experience in a broad range of Industries form Packaging to Scientific and Military.
