Galil Motion Control Celebrates 25th Anniversary of Shipping Their First Motion Controller

Galil recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of the shipment of their first motion controller. On July 5, 1983 Galil shipped the DMC-100 which was the first microprocessor-based servo motion controller using solely digital control that did not require tachometer feedback. Since the introduction of their first servo motion controller, Galil has continued to break new ground in motion control, having gone on to deliver over 500,000 motion controllers worldwide. Galil is currently shipping their 5th generation motion controllers- the Accelera Series which provide ultra high-speed and precision. Features include multi axis coordinated motion, advanced PID with velocity and acceleration feed forward, multitasking, and non-volatile memory for programs, variables and arrays. Galil also sells plug-in, multi-axis drives for steppers and servos which save money, space and wiring.

Galil has recently expanded into the I/O market with the introduction of its new RIO-471x0 Pocket PLC. This new product combines intelligence along with 16 analog and 32 digital I/O in a cost effective, compact package. It can be used stand-alone or connected to the Ethernet for unlimited I/O expansion.

Reaching new milestones is a regular habit for Galil, a privately held company which has achieved profitability for over 94 consecutive quarters.
