Cone Drive launches Harmonic Solutions in Asia
Cone Drive, a precision motion control technology provider, is expanding the reach of its new Harmonic Solutions product range into the Asia market at the Shanghai International Modern Industrial Intelligent Equipment Exhibition (SIA) in May 2017.
The Asia launch follows commercial launches in the US at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in September 2016 and Europe at Motek in October 2016.
Having launched its product range in the US and Europe, Cone Drive is to enter the market in Asia which represents 85 per cent of the global harmonic market.
Cone Drive says the high quality engineering and manufacturing standards of its Harmonic Solutions are ready to meet the Asian market’s demands by providing engineered solutions for applications in robotics, aerospace, metrology, defense, medical, machine tooling industries, and more.
Carter Wu, managing director of China based manufacturer H-Fang, which was acquired by Cone Drive in 2014, says: “H-Fang is pleased to support Cone Drive in launching Harmonic Solutions into the Asia market.
“Cone Drive has established itself as a global technology leader for custom engineered precision motion control solutions and the new Harmonic Solutions product range is a further testament to their world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
“We look forward to expanding our precision motion control product portfolio with Harmonic Solutions and developing opportunities within these new industries.”
The Cone Drive Harmonic Solutions product range includes compact, lightweight, high ratio, single stage in-line components and gearheads, and is designed to be “highly accurate and torque dense to exceed the most demanding robotic and motion control applications”, says the company.
Kurt Gamelin, CEO of Cone Drive, says: “The continued expansion of Cone Drive’s precision motion control portfolio with our new Harmonic Solutions product suite is a key strategy of our growth plan.
“Harnessing the commercial, engineering, and operational excellence at our H-Fang business in China gives us the ability to locally address markets in Asia with this exciting new product line.
