Mitsubishi And MOVENSYS Form Commercial Agreement To Strengthen Collaboration

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and MOVENSYS Inc. have announced a commercial agreement to strengthen collaboration in their respective AC servo and motion control sectors. According to the terms of the arrangement, Mitsubishi Electric is acquiring an equity stake in Movensys.

In recent years, the use of industrial computers for motion control applications in AC servo sectors has grown dramatically, particularly for machinery used in the fabrication of semiconductors and electronic components. The continuous evolution of industrial-computer CPUs is expected to generate demand for increasingly advanced motion control capabilities, such as high-speed synchronous control of multiple motors.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and MOVENSYS Inc. have established a commercial agreement to increase collaboration in their respective AC servo and motion control industries. Mitsubishi Electric is purchasing an ownership position in Movensys under the terms of the agreement.

In recent years, the usage of industrial computers for motion control applications in AC servo sectors has increased rapidly, particularly for machinery used in the manufacturing of semiconductors and electronic components. The continuing advancement of industrial-computer CPUs is likely to drive demand for increasingly powerful motion control capabilities, such as high-speed synchronous control of numerous motors.

Utilising one other's commercial assets and technological advantages, the partners hope to maximise synergies and ultimately accelerate the development of smart factories and contribute to enhanced efficiency on a global scale.
