Complete Control Systems

WHAT IS IT?

An AMS Complete Control System is a controls package that is totally defined by you, the customer. AMS will create a custom control cabinet, combining our controller with the components you specify, to best fit the needs of your application. These systems are designed to increase productivity as well as take full advantage of all of the features of the AMS Controller.

View some examples of systems.

FEATURES

  • AMS Engineered. Since we make the controller, we know how best to incorporate it into a complete control system. With years of experience in electrical cabinet making we will make your AMS Controller live up to its full potential, and increase your productivity.
  • Complete System.  In addition to the operator cabinet, AMS can Spec and Supply any component that is part of the AMS System, such things include linear actuators (ball screws, belt, rack & pinion), servo motors, servo drives, sonic loop controls, roll feeds, etc...
  • Fully Customizable.  The design of our systems are totally dependant on the needs of the customer. Our staff of engineers will coordinate all design with the customer before the unit is built.
  • Multiple Control Possibilities. AMS makes a wide variety of controllers from Multiple Press Flying Die Control to Feed to Stop in Open Loop and Closed Loop configurations. AMS can create a control cabinet for any control configuration.
  • New or Retrofit. AMS can create a control cabinet for any line. If you have an existing machine and want to update your operator station, AMS can design a system to fully integrate to the rest of your machine. If you are buying a new machine, AMS can provide your equipment manufacturer with an AMS built controller cabinet. Specify AMS!

BENEFITS

  • Superior Wiring Practices. AMS has been building control cabinets and operator stations for many years and have learned one important fact; Proper wiring will make a difference. At AMS, we take every precaution when wiring our control cabinets to ensure trouble free operation. Some of the practices used are:
    • Separate all AC and DC wires
    • All communications cables properly shielded
    • Proper wire colors for proper voltages, according to Code
    • Single point grounding
  • Single Source Supplier. By purchasing your controllers and control cabinets from AMS, you have only one company to call in case questions arise.
  • Engineered by Controls Specialists. AMS has been in the Automation business for over 25 years. We know how to make our controllers and your system work to their full potential.
  • Custom Cabinet Overlay. Instead of the usual "Switch Legends", AMS can create a Custom Overlay to make make your new control system look good as well as make the switch designations easier to read. We can also incorporate such things as company logos, company colors, and conversion charts.
  • Full Electrical Diagrams. Once the controls system is complete and installed, AMS will supply your company with a full set of electrical diagrams for the system.
  • User Accessible Terminal Strip. Whether the system is installed by one of our technicians or yours, AMS makes wiring the new control cabinet to your machine a snap with our easily accessible terminal strip.
  • Fully tested. AMS always fully tests all of our control systems before they leave our shop so you won't have to!
