Motion Control Automation

Motion Control Systems & Industrial Automation.

We are a leading motion control systems design company and systems integrator specialising in motion control systems and industrial automation projects. We design precision industrial control systems using Moog industrial controls or PIC embedded PLCs to control hydraulics, pneumatics, and servo motors. As a Moog Partner we are not only able to utilise a vast range of high quality automation components we also have industry leading development partners.

Multi Axis Platform Control

We supplied a complete multi axis closed loop positional motion control system for the latest James Bond movie, Casino Royale to control an 80 ton platform - with the high cost of delay and the complex schedules involved in the film industry, a very strong emphasis is placed upon equipment reliability. In a typical filmed scene, several hydraulically actuated motion bases may be synchronised with CGI and movie cameras for carefully choreographed stunts and action sequences which involve precise positioning of heavy objects or even large structures that sink.

  • Case Studies

  • 80 Ton Platform Control

    Control of an 80 ton platform for the sinking building scene in Casino Royale.

  • Recordable Motion Control

    Development of a 3 axis motion control rig which enabled the user to program and record motion control paths.

  • Automated Window

    Remote control of a bespoke automated window for a private house.

3 Axis Motion Control Platform

In another application to aid a simplified method of control, we produced a 3-axis control system to provide “pick up and use” usability - where a scaled replica model of the motion base and a simple 3-button control console are used to input, record and playback complex move sequences.

Custom Motion Control Platforms

We can custom design and build a motion control platform to suit your requirements for a range of budgets. Please call us on  0845 6033181  to discuss your requirements.
