The servo control system from Trio Motion Technology-0

We are delighted to announce the addition of Trio Motion Technology to our portfolio. The company is widely recognized worldwide as a leading manufacturer of motion control systems. Since 2017, this company has been a part of Estun Automation, which is well-known to us. In this article, we would like to introduce you to our new partner and the drive control products they offer.

 

More about Trio Motion Technology

Trio Motion Technology was founded in 1987 as a manufacturer of motion control products. Nowadays, Motion Coordinators can control and regulate up to 128 servo motor axes, including stepper and piezo motors, as well as hydraulic systems. Trio motion programming is based on Motion-iX technology.

What is Motion-iX Technology?

Motion-iX is a unified software development platform for the engineering industry, with a focus on motion optimization and complex kinematics, including robotics. For example, SCARA robots are used to ensure optimal equipment performance.

Trio Motion Technology Worldwide Representation

The company's headquarters are located in the United Kingdom, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, where the research and development center is also situated. In addition, research and development centers are also located in Italy, Bulgaria, and China. Software development teams are based in the United Kingdom, the United States, Italy, India, and China. The global trade network comprises over 100 partners, and our company, ZTF Lāsma, is one of them.

Since 2017, Trio has been acquired by the Estun Group, which continues to support Trio's growth through shared facilities, research and development, and financial support. Since the acquisition of the Trio brand, profit growth has exceeded 15% compared to the previous year. In addition to major global markets, a significant portion of Trio's business is in China, where the company's management capabilities have allowed Estun to become a significant player in the Chinese automation market.

What is a Servo Motor System?

A servo motor is a standalone electrical device that moves machine parts with high efficiency and precision. In simple terms, a servo motor is a brushless motor with feedback from an encoder's position. This allows the shaft to move at a specific angle, position, and speed, which is impossible for a regular motor. However, a servo motor is just the tip of the iceberg. The complete set and ready equipment include amplifiers, controllers, transmission structures, gear wheels, potentiometers, shafts, encoders, and the servo motor itself.

Where are servo motor systems used?

Servo motor systems are primarily used in various industrial sectors to automate equipment operations and increase production capacity and output. Below are the main areas where servo motor systems can be used:

  • In aviation companies.
  • On production equipment.
  • On CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines.
  • On food processing equipment.
  • In medical devices.
  • In marking equipment.
  • In textile machinery.
  • In packaging equipment.
  • And in other material processing machinery.

Key Advantages of Trio Motion Technology Products

  • Wide range of programming languages, including IEC 61131-3 or Motion-iX.
  • Extensive support for communication protocols.
  • Technical support from the manufacturer.
  • Pay only for the functions used on the controller, allowing cost savings.
