Siemens appoints south UK drives distributor

Siemens Automation and Drives motion division has appointed Micromech as the southern UK area specialist distributor for their servomotors, drives and controls.

Micromech is delighted to announce its appointment by Siemens Automation and Drives motion division, as the southern area specialist distributor for their servomotors, drives and controls.

This is part of a major strategy by Siemens across many of its products to bring additional support into various technology areas where a high level of specialist technical expertise is required.

The appointment coincides with the launch of the S120AC range of modular servo drives aimed at single or multi axis, motion control applications.

The range is expected to find many new applications for existing Siemens users especially as they also incorporate the advanced Profinet, Profibus and DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces.

This makes the S120AC range a highly flexible package for driving asynchronous, synchronous, linear and torque motors.

Micromech has been a leading motion and control distributor for over 25 years, sizing, specifying, supply and even installing into a wide field of markets.

Wherever speed control or positioning is the criterion Micromech has supplied solutions throughout industry, manufacturing and research.

Stirling Morley, technical director for Micromech said: "This appointment is an important development for us and we are extremely pleased to be in on the ground floor of Siemens expansion in the motion and control market." For Siemens, Don Connolly, business manager for Automation and Drives said: "As one of the largest industrial companies in the world we are now targeting the 'down and up stream' ends of processes in factory automation and this is part of that programme.

The specialist skills required to address the technical range of disciplines for motion and control lead to the selection of Micromech.".
