AMETEK Factory Automation has a wealth of experience working with manufacturers of automation machinery and automated work cells. The Gemco brand has supplied thousands of position sensors, linear transducers, resolvers, and rotary limit switches to provide linear and rotary feedback to machinery in motion.
Innovation, proprietary technology, and decades of experience are the key to the development of our line of Linear Displacement Transducers.
Magnetostrictive Linear Displacement Transducers (LDT) are the preferred instruments for receiving motion feedback in many industries. These non-contact position sensors are highly accurate and are 100% absolute. The LDTs are designed to withstand the high cycle rates associated with automation.
Cable and hose carriers for ideal protection of control cables and hydraulic hoses.
CATRAC cable and hose carriers are ideal for protecting cables & hoses from damage and wear in reciprocating motions, such as those found in steel manufacturing, heavy movable structures such as moveable bridges, cranes, hoists, lifts, and steelwork factories.
SNAPTRACK is designed with lightweight nylon composite material and is perfect for machinery such as CNC or other automated, not heavy duty, machines.
AMETEK Factory Automation’s product line of Gemco
linear position sensors,
rotary limit switches,
cable and hose carriers, and
level sensors are designed to work flawlessly with little or no need for ongoing service or calibration. We know that downtime in the automated workflow can be very costly.
We have committed ourselves to understanding the mechanical link between automated machines and position sensors. Working directly with customers on their manufacturing floors, and observing their processes firsthand, we’ve helped develop countless successful automation solutions. And our collaborations with OEM manufacturers of automated workflow machinery have resulted in a wide selection of products and technology offerings, and the expertise to apply them. This places Gemco in a position to provide the best possible position monitoring, or position limitation solutions to meet the specific requirements of automated applications like
stamping presses,
injection molding machines,
packaging,
lumber,
automotive,
tire & rubber,
pulp & paper, and many, many more.
Together with you, we strive to help improve uptime, the efficiency of the manufacturing process, and personnel safety by delivering world-class, linear position sensors, rotary position sensors, and cable management solutions.
