Customising of motors and drives booms as off-shoring declines

Simon Hunt, Astrosyn's technical director, comments: "The economics of off-shoring were transient and have changed radically, due in part to international currency and wage trends. Another big factor is the requirement for customised small batches which are uneconomic in large volume production facilities".

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 systems.
