AMCI Stepper Motor Drives Accepted into Rockwell Automation Encompass Program
Terryville, CT - November 19, 2004 – AMCI's family of stepper motor drives have been granted membership into Rockwell Automation's exclusive Encompass Program. Meeting the Program's strict requirements, AMCI Stepper Drives are recognized as value-driven products, capable of enhancing or extending Rockwell Automation's efforts in the field of Stepper Motor Controls.
Advanced Micro Controls Inc, a Connecticut based industrial controls company, has fortified their position as the premier manufacturer of Allen Bradley compatible stepper motor control products. The Rockwell Automation Group, corporate parent of Allen-Bradley, recently accepted AMCI's entire line of stepper motor drives into their Encompass Program, establishing the company as a global partner supporting stepper motor control on the factory floor. Inclusion into the Encompass Program is contingent on several criteria, specifying that a product must deliver unique functionality supported by a reputable, sound company - AMCI.
A seasoned member of the Encompass Program, AMCI has been collaborating with Allen-Bradley for over fifteen years in the design and manufacturing of industrial control products that complement the Rockwell Automation family of controllers, interfaces, and sensors. Forging a relationship with Allen-Bradley during the 1980's, AMCI was the first company licensed to design and manufacture third party PLC modules. Since that time, AMCI has developed a wealth of value-added products that contribute to the successful application of customer solutions using Rockwell Automation products.
In recent years, AMCI has focused on filling the motion control void that customers face when searching for Rockwell Automation stepper products. Leveraging their expertise in the area of PLC module design, AMCI introduced several stepper control modules for today's most powerful Allen Bradley PLCs, the ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and MicroLogix. Like many other AMCI control products, these high performance stepper controllers utilize Rockwell Automation licensed technology and are recognized by the Encompass Program.
Following the industry-wide success of their PLC stepper control modules, customers began looking to AMCI for other stepper motion solutions. Offering a wide selection of controllers, drives, and motors, ranging from multi-axis networked stepper controllers to integrated stepper drives, customers reaped the value in AMCI's performance-matched systems.
Emphasizing the exceptional value of AMCI's Allen-Bradley compatible stepper motion drives, Rockwell Automation has officially recognized all six of the company's drives as certified Encompass Program products. AMCI's complete line of stepper drives range from UL listed 4.0 amp units to 9.8 amp stepper drive indexers. Customers can also find integrated stepper motor control drives that feature a powerful NEMA size 23 motor and associated 4.0 amp drive electronics.
