Control Boxes
Control Boxes
TiMOTION manufactures a wide range of control boxes to ensure a perfect fit for manufacturers’ applications. Depending on the application’s required components and functionality, customized software can be written to manage the various movements expected from the complete system. TiMOTION’s control boxes are designed for industries such as home furniture, workplace ergonomics, medical applications, and industrial applications. See our product listing below, and read on to learn more about our high-quality options for control boxes.
Customizable Software
TiMOTION has earned a reputation for manufacturing only the highest quality electric linear actuator systems available. A key part of these linear motion systems is the control box which serves as the brains of the system.
Software within these control boxes is custom designed by our dedicated software engineering team to ensure compatibility with your system’s components. Custom software design also provides your system with higher complexity options such as synchronization and simultaneous movement.
Individual, Synchronized or Simultaneous Movement
Potentiometers and Hall Effect sensors are used to send feedback signals to the control box. These signals relay the accurate, current position of an electric linear actuator and can be used when synchronization or simultaneous movement between two or more electric actuators are required.
Flexible Configuration Options
As stated earlier, TiMOTION control boxes serve as the brains for a linear actuation system. In a complete system there are:
- One or more electric linear actuators
- Control box
- Controls such as hand controls, footswitches, or wireless remotes
- Power supplies that convert 110V AC or 220V AC (or 100V~240V AC depending on the transformer) to power which is usable by the linear actuation system
- Accessories
Sometimes a Control Box Isn’t Needed
For some single linear actuation systems, a control box isn’t needed. TiMOTION also manufactures direct-cut electric linear actuators where power supply and control are the only two components needed to complete the system. This is a perfect solution for applications where minimizing cost is a primary concern.
