Rockwell Automation Motion Analyzer Web tool

Rockwell Automation has rebuilt Motion Analyzer software as a web tool. The tool offers updated user-friendly features and an expanded product catalogue to help engineers more easily specify, design and validate complete motion control systems.

The Motion Analyzer Web tool is cloud based, allowing users to access, update and collaborate on projects stored in a single location, reducing version control issues and the need to share project files back and forth. A cloud-based platform also means users are no longer limited by the processing speed of their computers when designing systems for more complex applications. The tool’s new browser-style format allows users to filter, review and compare products and general pricing, similar to search capabilities on popular e-commerce sites.

The Motion Analyzer Web tool provides machine builders access to a wider range of motion control products than ever before. It now incorporates products from nine Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork Encompass product partners, including STOBER Drives, NIDEC-SHIMPO, item North America, Tolomatic, Nook Industries, WITTENSTEIN, Exlar Corporation, Bonitron and Elwood Corporation.

Using the Motion Analyzer Web tool, engineers can determine a system’s specifications, evaluate multiple products, finalise the design and create a bill of materials. The tool can help shorten motion system design from a multiday process to a matter of hours. The web tool supports English, German and Chinese languages, and it is compatible with a wide range of computer, smartphone and tablet operating systems.
