Upcoming Animatics Institute
I’m very pleased with the useful content of the program.
Erin Doherty, Braas Co.
Held at the Animatics headquarters facility in sunny Santa Clara, CA in March of 2012, the Institute will provide opportunities for advanced programmers and those needing basic programming skills, as well as industry information, sales tips, and all of your questions answered.
The amount you learn at the Animatics Institute that will help you with your customers, increase your sales and deepen your product knowledge will more than compensate for the time spent with us.
It is great to have instructors who really understand automation. This made the difference.
Danny Cong, Clayton Controls
Main sessions will be held in our state-of-the-art training room, including Animatics' current and future developments in engineering, sales and production, an in-depth coverage of applications and success stories, and behind-the-scenes information on Class 5, Combitronic communication technology and the new IP 65 rated industrial servo line.

Message from the Founder
The SmartMotor™ may be painted black, but it is really very green. Consider the following:
The SmartMotor™ is made in the same shaft and frame dimensions as open-loop step motors, but uses a small fraction of the power because it only uses as much power as the load physically needs.
