What is Flexible Automation?
#DWwebinar
-Lower initial investment -High throughput -Great for single part no variation
-Unable to accommodate process change -Expensive or impossible to convert
Fixed Automation • Often called ‘Hard
Automation’ • Fixed sequence of
operations • Often basic linear or rotary
motion • Fluid power
What is Flexible Automation?
#DWwebinar
Programmable Automation
• Accommodate program changes
• Manual change-over -Moderate flexibility (product changes) -Infrequent batch style production
-Downtime with changeover -Higher initial investment
What is Flexible Automation?
#DWwebinar
Flexible Automation • Often called ‘Soft Automation’ • Typically Electromechanical
Motion • Extension of Programmable
Automation -Minimal downtime -Multiple products/processes -Better overall cost of ownership
-Higher up front cost

Challenges of Flexible Automation
#DWwebinar
What is Configurable & Scalable Automation?
Actuation designed for flexible equipment that can solve a broader range of application demands must be scalable!
Scale must account for application variances such as-
Stroke Length
Payload & Moment Load
Thrust
Speed
Precision
