About AMKmotion
AMKmotion is a developer and manufacturer of electrical drive systems based in Kirchheim unter Teck and sees itself as a long-term partner for industrial machine and plant engineering. The portfolio covers electrical drive technology, control technology and industrial automation technology: decentralised and central drive solutions, servo motors (including the DT series), servo drive systems of the KE/KW series, motion controllers, hybrid distributors (KHY) as well as customised software and tailor-made solutions. An example of the decentralised technology is the ihD servo inverter with hybrid cabling concept, EMC-compliant aluminium housing, IP65 protection rating and threefold overload capability at 8 A rated current. The solutions are used, among other things, in sheet metal working, printing and paper technology, factory automation, plastics processing, pharmaceuticals, and the textile and packaging industries. Founded in 1963 as AMK Arnold Müller GmbH & Co. KG, the company has belonged to the ARBURG family since 2021 and employs around 500 staff at its sites in Kirchheim unter Teck, Weida and Gabrovo as well as more than twelve representatives worldwide.
