The
Control
Platform
Every Mech-Tronic Linear unit ships with a complete control system — PLC, HMI, wiring, and diagnostics — ready to integrate directly into your machine or production line.
Variable Speed
Actuation
Fully programmable actuation speed from minimum to full-stroke. Set independent speeds for extend and retract cycles. Ramp-up and ramp-down curves eliminate mechanical shock at end-of-stroke.
Encoder-Based
Position Feedback
High-resolution encoder feedback delivers exact position data to your PLC in real time. Define soft limits, intermediate stop points, and multi-position sequences — no physical limit switches needed.
Programmable
Force Limiting
Set force thresholds for each phase of operation. Prevent tooling overload, protect workpieces, and enforce consistent process force across production runs — all through software.
Real-Time
Self-Monitoring
The integrated controller continuously monitors motor temperature, load, position, and electrical status. Anomalies are flagged and transmitted to your PLC before they become failures — dramatically reducing unplanned downtime.
