Motion & Trio Motion Technology

Trio Motion Technology provides advanced motion control solutions, centered around their powerful Motion Coordinators, which are specialized PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) that manage complex industrial machine movements, controlling up to 128 axes of servos, steppers, and hydraulics. Their Motion-iX technology enables high-speed, precise coordination for applications like CNC, robotics, and packaging, integrating hardware (drives, motors, I/O) with easy-to-program software, often using EtherCAT for seamless communication. 

Key Aspects of Trio Motion Technology:

  • Motion Coordinators: The core product, acting as the "brain" for multi-axis machines, handling complex tasks like interpolation (linear, circular, spherical) and electronic gearing.
  • Motion-iX Technology: A proprietary platform for advanced motion programming, making complex automation manageable.
  • Integrated Solutions: Offers full motion solutions, including drives (like the DX4), motors, I/O modules, and HMIs, to reduce external components.
  • EtherCAT: A preferred industrial fieldbus for high-speed, deterministic communication between controllers and devices.
  • Programming: Uses a BASIC-like language and software like Motion Perfect for easy setup, with features for CAD import and cam profile generation.
  • Applications: Powers automation in packaging, CNC, textiles, robotics, and more, focusing on high throughput and machine performance.
  • Scalability: Controllers range from basic 2-axis to advanced units managing 128 axes.

In essence, Trio Motion Technology simplifies complex automation by providing powerful, integrated controllers that precisely manage the movement of industrial machinery.
