Frequently used in industrial control applications, motion controllers are used to control the movement of mechanical systems by managing sequence, velocity, position and the torque of motors. Using electrical signals, motion controllers produce movement, which is driven through mechanical components. Motion profiles are generated, which specify how a motor should move a load over time and ensure precise positioning.
Motion controllers use feedback from sensors to identify motor position and speed and adjust commands accordingly to minimise errors. They work as the brain of motion control systems, as they control the movement of mechanical systems to manage the motion and function of the motor.
They can be used in manufacturing, robotics, medical devices, and other industries where repeated and controlled motion is necessary. They typically work in closed-loop systems alongside drives, amplifiers, actuators and sensors that aid the production of efficient and precise motion control.
At FCR Motion, we offer a range of motion controllers that are designed to efficiently manage motion speed and precision.
Our range currently includes PLCs, HMIs and Motion Controllers from recognised brands like:

Our motion controllers and machine components can be used for a range of applications, including:
PLCs are built to function in extreme temperatures, with intense vibrations and electrical noise, which makes them ideal for factories and industrial applications where durability and reliability are required in tougher conditions. They help to control the process and create a sequence of operations by which industrial machines can function with. HMIs are ideal for industrial applications such as injection moulding machines or packaging lines, where control panels are a major element of the machine.
In infrastructure, it is common to find PLCs in traffic light systems or energy distribution grids, as they help to manage the sequence of operations and controls. Motion controllers are found in infrastructure applications where movement is crucial. For instance, movable bridges, dam gates and canal locks. In these instances, motion controllers help control the movement of the infrastructure with precision and reliability.
PLCs can be found in manufacturing examples like controlling robotic arms, conveyor belts or other components in equipment for automotive and consumer goods. Motion controllers are often found in manufacturing processes where packaging and labelling are concerned. They help to ensure that products and labels are processed and placed correctly at efficient speeds. During semiconductor fabrication processes, motion controllers also assist in positioning silicon wafers with accuracy and precision.
If you need a motion controller, we have what you need. From PLCs, HMIs and more, we’ll make sure you find what you’re looking for. Explore specific models, each designed for a variety of applications.

Got a question about drive and automation components or technology? Here are the answers to the questions we get asked a lot. If you don't see the answer you're looking for, reach out to us.
If you’re not sure where to start, you can contact our team for further advice. All we need are details on your application, I/O count and motion needs, and our specialists will connect you to the right piece of equipment for your requirements.
All of our products at FCR Motion include a manufacturer’s warranty, which covers you for 12-24 months from the date of your purchase.
Yes. Most of our products are designed for easy application and integration. So, if you have an existing system that needs more precise control and programming, you can explore our range.
PLCs are considered the industrial brain that controls machines. HMIs allow operators to interact with the system visually, and motion controllers help by coordinating the movements of the motors and actuators.
We can offer low backlash reduction gearboxes by Vogel and Liming.
We offer a Bihl and Wiedemann distributed I/O system for the ASi bus system. Alternatively, both Lenze and Berghof offer I/O, which will communicate on EtherCAT and other popular Fieldbus systems.
We have Lenze and Berghof PLCs, and both are programmed with CODESYS.
