AMK Kirchheim/Teck

AMK creates economic and innovative system solutions that are efficient and versatile. AMK has approximately 600 employees and constantly strives to propagate its automation and control engineering expertise through national and worldwide agents. This global network is trained to provide application assistance, project development through to manufacture, high quality service, support and many other after-sales services in line with its commitment to 100 percent customer satisfaction.

AMK's customers also profit from expert and pioneering work that fuses drives, controllers and field bus technologies into one homogenous entity. Based on decades of experience, AC servo motors, drives and intelligent motion control systems cover all the components necessary to satisfy the most demanding requirements - and all from the same source.

The homogeneity of PLC and motion control technology places the user in a powerful position of being able to construct both centralised and decentralised automation solutions. This has many advantages, including:

- Highly flexible architecture
- Highest possible reliability
- Open to common field bus systems
- Compact dimensions saves on panel space
- Modular design for simple expansion or reassignment
