Take the Tolomatic Design Journey

If your project needs precise linear motion control with heavy-duty electric actuators that are made specifically for your application, discover the design tools, resources and solutions offered by Tolomatic.

“Design Journey with Tolomatic” is a brief, entertaining look at how the industry leader in linear motion partners with customers to provide a wide range of solutions that are built to order, with numerous available modification options, fast delivery of production models or prototypes, and collaboration on custom designs.

In under three minutes, the Design Journey reveals the design tools and engineering resources available online at Tolomatic.com, including selection tools and SizeIt sizing software that automatically calculates and determines the right actuator based upon your speed, force, and lifecycle requirements. Tolomatic’s “Your Motor Here” program verifies fit, along with 3D CAD models of your finished design. And our “Ask the Engineer” tool puts you in touch directly with our experienced team.

    00:00:00 Every day, smart engineers are hard at work  designing technology that will shape the future. Edward is an engineer for the  moon’s first space station. and it’s his massive responsibility to design   critical life support systems  for the history-making project. These systems have to be strong  and reliable, & easy to maintain. Nobody wants to think about what could happen with a single malfunction of this mission-critical component of the station.   The launch date is looming  and Edward has a problem He has to find heavy-duty actuators that are made specifically for his application.   If the search keeps draining time  from the more important design work

    00:00:35 it could jeopardize launch and his credibility. Edward has spent hours talking to various vendors,  and is currently juggling a handful of them for   his linear motion needs but he’s limited  to using off-the-shelf or special actuators none of which are a good fit. No one seems to offer the built-to-order actuator   options he needs and the search is  costing him precious time each day. Don, a fellow engineer working on another critical  life sustaining system on the station,  is surprised when he discovers why Edward is so stressed out. Don asks why Edward isn’t isn’t already working   with Tolomatic. Tolomatic is Tolomatic  is an industry leader in linear motion.

    00:01:10 They offer a wide range of  built-to-order solutions with many modification options and will  even collaborate on custom designs. The most powerful aspects of  Tolomatic's approach, he explains, are their online engineering tools for configuring the exact linear actuators to meet his needs. Don shows Edward Tolomatic’s broad range of available design options,   and where to access the "Ask an Engineer" tool for assistance at any point along the way. Edward goes online to find the best linear motion solutions for his application. To size and configure the best solution, he uses SizeIt sizing software and enters his application details. To adapt the actuator for the motor he wants, he uses the "Your Motor Here" program.

    00:01:53 When he wants to verify the actuator design will fit into his machine, he just downloads the 3D CAD model and  places it into his machine drawing.   Once the design is complete, Tolomatic manufactures and delivers these high quality actuators quickly for prototype testing  or final machine production. With the help of Tolomatic’s engineering collaboration, the simplicity of their online tools and durable parts built-to-order and built-to-last, Edward not only brings the project to timely completion, but the new partnership allows him to design  several groundbreaking solutions that win  

    00:02:24 that win awards and contracts for even bigger projects.  If, like Edward, you’re looking for a reliable   If, like Edward, you’re looking for a reliable  partner to help you build future-shaping technology, contact Tolomatic today.
