Providing the enabling motion control and automation technologies for cutting edge manufacturers and research organisations

LG Motion Limited supplies motion control components, mechatronics assemblies and complete motion sub-systems to customers across all areas of industry and research. This value-add service fulfils a growing trend by large companies and major research facilities as well as many manufacturing SMEs to outsource key enabling technology elements to specialist suppliers. In this way LG Motion's customers concentrate their development efforts on their own area of technological expertise and reduce product development or research programme timescales and their associated costs; with the sound knowledge that important enabling technology functions such as high precision positioning and machine automation is designed and delivered fully tested to their own exacting specifications. These state-of-the-art automated positioning solutions improve productivity, increase manufacturing flexibility, significantly raise throughput rates, guarantee higher quality manufacture and help prove the important cost of ownership propositions that manufacturers need to convince their customers to embrace. LG Motion's industrial customers cover a full spectrum of production, inspection and test equipment manufacturers in market sectors such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing to medical equipment and pharmaceutical production machinery. LG Motion also contributes innovative micro-positioning solutions for research organisations that enable ground breaking studies in areas such as nanotechnology, biomedicine and high energy particle physics. Many of the current projects have long development timescales and will not be realised by the 'man in the street' for several years. Typically combining precision mechanical assemblies, motors, control electronics and software as complete mechatronics assemblies, applications are as diverse as positioning biomedical sensors to within a few thousandths of a millimetre for cancer drug research, helping film makers precisely synchronise the movement of multiple cameras for the latest generation of 3D movies, or providing packaging machine manufacturers with innovative cost reducing multi-axis motion controls to give their product a distinctive market edge.
