Homemade Motion Systems
Axidyne Integrated Actuators


Just how "lean" can a multiple-vendor, homegrown design be? Sure, it might be more fun, but consider the time to coordinate delivery schedules, expedite orders, get something assembled AND validated…lean or not lean, that is the question.


Tested and validated, right out of the box. One part number. One supplier. One order point. One quality-at-the-source contact. One LEAN way to go…with Axidyne by Tol-O-Matic linear actuators and motion control systems.



O.K., so computer memory is cheap and MIPS are off-the-chart, but just how deep do you want your BOM (Bills of Material) to go? Every level in your BOM creates a potential stock point. When you regenerate your MRP system, you are dragging all this info across the CPU, like a bunch of junk DNA. How efficient is that?

Easy on the MRP/ERP eyes. Enter one part number (or two, when you spec an Axidyne controller), and the Production Control or Engineering clerk is done. Who wants to mess with indented BOM’s nine levels deep when life can be so much more efficient?



O.K., the system now has a boo-boo. Who you gonna call? The gear / sprocket / motor / belt / shaft / pulley /drive salespersons? Do you really like sales people that much? A boo-boo can happen for many reasons. Ever have a salesperson change the spec? Or a customer forget to tell you one little important thing? With one qualified source, the fix is much faster and easier to make.


O.K., so you are in a one-piece flow, JIT, pull demand world. Notice the key words: ONE piece flow; Just-in-Time; pull demand…

ONE piece flow with one source: Axidyne by Tol-O-Matic. JIT: we ship assemblies…fully tested and validated in five (5) days or less over 98.5% of time! (That is about 100% in seven days or less…every day of the week, month after month.) You can pull and demand all you want…we love it!


You went to school or learned your trade not to tinker, but to think and solve meaty problems. Work on the bigger things, and leave this stuff to one source that specializes in packaged linear motion control systems. That would be us…Axidyne by Tol-O-Matic. We are your lean, mean, easy to size & select linear motion supplier. We are the one!


Nightmares…trolls everywhere. Pleasant dreams.
