Customising booms as off-shoring declines
04 September 2015
With the return to the UK of many manufacturing processes that were outsourced abroad over the past two decades, Kent-based motion control specialist Astrosyn International Technology has noted a surge in demand for its customised motors and drives.
Astrosyn’s stepper motors are widely used in measurement and control applications in industrial machinery, laboratory instrumentation, office automation and security equipment. In many of these areas UK manufacturers supply low volumes of premium products to advanced international markets. They increasingly seek components and sub-assemblies customised to their exacting specifications and available on short lead times.
This philosophy matches Astrosyn’s focus on development and manufacture of electromechanical sub-assemblies, fully tested and supplied in call-off batches to meet tightly scheduled production sequences.
By engineering this service as precisely as the product, Astrosyn’s motors and drives design team possesses the inherent flexibility and ‘know-how’ to deliver customised solutions.
