NTI AG - Linmot Vietnam

NTI AG is focussed on the development, production and distribution of linear motor systems for industrial applications. Our customers will receive sophisticated products which provide the utmost reliability in linear motion and can easily be integrated into their automation and control systems. Product standardization and delivery from stock through a worldwide distribution network help to support our dedication to providing immediate availability and prompt customer support.

Mission

History

NTI was founded in 1993 as a business unit of the worldwide Sulzer Corporation. The task of NTI was the development of new industrial products, especially of linear motors. In 2000 the linear motor activity of NTI was spun off into the independent company NTI AG.

The headquarters of NTI AG are based in Spreitenbach, near Zurich (Switzerland). NTI AG has two production plants in Switzerland and owns a subsidiary in the United States (LinMot Inc.).

NTI AG distributes products under the brand names LinMot® and MagSpring® through more than 60 distributors worldwide. More than 400 different drives and motors in stock at all times, deliveries are made throughout the world, often in 48 hours or less. Thousands of LinMot products are now being used in packaging, processing, material handling, inspection and automation applications throughout the world.

Linear Motion System

Manufacturer of the LinMot Linear Motors, Guided Actuators, Servo Drives, and MagSpring constant force springs. LinMot motors provide extremely long life, high dynamics, and high repeatability at a moderate cost. Designed for wash down applications, these motors are widely used in packaging, material handling and the health care industry.

LinMot multi-position drives are available for single or multi-axis control, in a variety of field buses, and are easily programmable for even very complex motion profiles and multiple programs.

LinMot Linear Motors and LinMot Servo Drives build an optimal drive system for linear positioning applications. The broad spectrum of Servo Drives support simple two point movements as well as high precision multi axes applications with electronic cam and synchronization.

Easy Integration

The connection to a superior machine control units can be realized by analog, digital or serial Interfaces as well as field busses or ETHERNET.

The plurality of available field bus interfaces and protocols allow an easy and fast integration of LinMot drives into any PLC or PC based machine controller.

Intelligent Servo Drives
LinMot Servo Drives are intelligent units with one or up to four different motor channels, integrated position controllers and the option to store predefined curves and motion profiles. Therefore the superior PLC doesn't have to deal with motor issues or position loop parameters. The PLC can directly set positions, start curves or run motion profiles.

Normally LinMot Servo Drives will be used as positioning controllers together with a superior PLC or PC. In addition there is the option to integrate technology functions or customized application software into the Servo Drives.

Application Software
With the Application Software it is possible to program customized applications directly into the Servo Drive. An Application Software makes sense if the process is to fast to send the data from the Servo Drive to the PLC or the performance of the PLC is not sufficient.

Technology Functions
Technology Functions are general function units, which offer a complete solution for a specific kind of applications. Technology Functions may control whole processes. For example a PLC must only sent a couple of parameters like 'number of windings' to the Servo Drive and the Technology Function 'textile winding' will fulfil the whole winding process of a bobbin.

Basic Functions
Basic Functions are e.g. the communication to the PLC or PC, the set point generation, the calculation of point-to-point movements, the synchronization of different motors, the synchronization to a electronic master cam and so forth.

Control, Surveillance and Montoring
The core functionalities of the Servo Drive like position loop, current loop, surveillance of the power electronics, monitoring of the temperature, power and position of the connected Linear Motors are done inside of the control, surveillance and monitoring part.

MagSpring Magnetic Spring

MagSprings provide a constant force throughout their entire range of motion. They are totally passive devices requiring no electricity or pneumatic power. When used with LinMot linear motors in vertical applications, MagSprings are sized to raise vertical loads to a safe position upon power shutdown. Rather than using a large motor to raise the payload, now only a small motor is required to lower the payload during normal operations.
