Aerotech is the global precision motion control and automation industry leader. Our solutions enable manufacturing, testing and inspection processes on a micrometer and nanometer scale. 

We are the only company offering solutions for every motion challenge, including controller software and hardware; servo and stepper motors; positioning mechanics and robotics; and motion subsystems and integrated system solutions.

As an engineering-focused company that employs more than 180 engineers (85% of our salaried workforce), we pursue a unique, collaborative approach to solving mechatronic challenges. Unlike some competitors that grow by acquiring multiple companies producing distinct, narrowly focused product lines, all of Aerotech's technologies are developed by one engineering team in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Aerotech's holistic method of designing all motion control solutions with only one engineering group ensures that all of our technologies work together seamlessly. Mechanical, electrical, and software engineers collaborate in interdependent teams. Mechanical engineers design the physical automation equipment. Electrical engineers develop electrical hardware to drive the automation equipment. And software engineers write controller interfaces that allow users to program and control the equipment.

And with 50+ years of experience developing custom solutions for a wide range of markets, Aerotech's applications engineering team is the best in the industry at solving the most complex motion control challenges. In fact, more than half of our business come from custom technologies. We build a deep understanding of specific customer applications so that we can recommend the perfect solution, whether that is a standard or custom-engineered product, subsystem or completely integrated system.
