An overview of current machines using the Moog Animatics SmartMotor, an advanced motion controller with integrated servo motor, drive, encoder and amplifier. SmartMotors have been used in applications such as: Anode wire welding Automatic Web tensioning/alignment Auto-progression adjusting parts indexers A/V Mobility Bearing inserters/presses Capacitor manufacturing Cappers Centrifuges CNC CNC Machining CNC Training Compression/tension testing Coordinate measuring machines Cut-to-length gage stops Dashboard controls button/switch testers Destructive testing Dicers Fillers Flexible Tooling Machine Gimbal mount accelerometer testing Glass tube cutting Glue dispensers GPS guided steering/drive control High Accuracy 3-Axis Positioning High axis count coordinated motion High speed indexing labelers Hydroelectric turbine nozzle control Infeed/outfeed stackers Input/Output Stacker, Wafer Handling Linear and Rotary Motion Manual handwheel over-ride Nut/bolt/screw drivers Pan & tilt bases Paper feeders/folders Parts Inspection and Repositioning Parts redirectors Phase gearhead adjusting Pick & place palletizers Plasma cutting Positive displacement pumps Shock load testing Step/tapered spool winders Tactile switch testing Tire tread grinding Topographical mapping Transformer coil winders Turbine blasé grinding Ultrasound Testing Vertical load control Vision Guided Laser Marking Vision inspection Voice coil winders Wafer handlers Web guide Web tensioning Wire bonding Woodworking and more

1. SmartMotor™
Machine Applications

2. 7-axis semiconductor manufacturing machine that fills, caps and welds axial
leads. The entire machine is controlled by one NEMA 23 SmartMotor.

3. 6-axis machine (one SmartMotor unseen) that cuts off a tape material into
short lengths, stacks the material it just cut, and then deposits material into a
package for consumer use. Product are dissolving breath freshening strips.

4. 2 SM2337D SmartMotors control the folding of
the airplane wings. Wings are folded in for
high speeds and extended is for slow speeds,
take off and landing.

5. This application is for the welding process of a fire main. One SmartMotor rotates the welding
mechanism around the pipe and another SmartMotor moved the welding mechanism up and
down. By utilizing electronic camming, the rotary axis acts as a master rotating the z-axis around
the pipe fitting while the z-axis moves vertically along the path of the needed weld.

6. Bridgeport milling machine controlled by Class 4
SmartMotors and JenCNC.

7. 4 axis welding machine that fill-welds and creates weld buildups.

8. CNC Plasma cutter utilizing SmartMotors and a host PC

9. Class 4 Ethernet SmartMotor with external brake and gearhead

10. Black poly butylene is heated up and dispensed onto the back panel of a solar collectors.

11. SmartMotor with gearhead used on a roller feed for printing press operations

12. CNC machine for applying screws in sheet metal fabrication processes

13. Plasma cutting CNC machine with automatic torch height control in the Z-axis

14. Rotac actuator rotating a ball nut around a stationary ball screw

15. Glue dispensing where the glue bead width is kept consistent throughout the entire path.

16. Screen shot of SMI (SmartMotor Interface) used to monitor a welding oscillator head controlled
by a SmartMotor.

17. SmartMotor using Phase Offset feature to dampen vibration of the Pan & Tilt System by
creating a differential velocity between the external gyroscopic measurement and the
SmartMotor’s internal encoder.

18. Dual head glue dispensing pump for two part epoxy

19. SmartMotor applied to large rotary carousel for positioning plasma screens for a TV studio

20. SmartMotors used on wheels of pipe inspecting robot in Alaska. Each of the SmartMotors
utilized an external differential encoder input to create a ratio of speeds in the drive wheels in
order to steer the pipe crawler along pipes of changing diameters.

21. SmartMotor controlling CNC surfboard shaping machine.

22. SmartMotors control the spool that winds and unwinds to open and close claw-like robotic art.
Installation appears in Terminal B of San Jose Mineta International Airport.

23. SmartMotor controlling azimuth and elevation for positioning an antenna with pointing
accuracy better than 0.1 degrees. This level of accuracy accomplished through mature servo
compensation algorithms at the most complex level of tracking.
