About ANCA Motion
ANCA Motion develops and manufactures flexible motion control systems with a focus on high-precision solutions for CNC machines. The company, an independently managed entity within the ANCA Group, operates in three closely interlinked areas: PCBA (precision electronics manufacturing from prototype to volume production with a focus on quality and traceability), Control (open, modular industrial control platforms with deterministic behaviour and long-term stability) and Co-invention (an integrated engineering partnership that accompanies complete systems from concept through validation to production launch). The product portfolio includes CNC controls for 5-axis and 2-axis applications, EtherCAT servo drives and IO, laser applications (2D laser cutting) and the registered tubular linear motor LinX® M-Series with speeds of up to 10 m/s, acceleration of over 30G and 1,200 N peak force with IP67 protection. Hardware and software are adapted to the requirements of OEMs. Customer industries include machine tool building, food and beverage packaging, as well as automation and laser applications. Manufacturing takes place in a vertically integrated operating model between Australia and Taiwan; a sales office in Weinheim (Germany) is responsible for Europe.
