For over four decades, ACS has stood at the forefront of motion control innovation. Among its most impactful collaborations is the partnership with John Hu and the team at Santech Automation Tech. Co. Ltd., whose engineers have helped push the boundaries of precision manufacturing.
From the outset, SanTech recognized ACS as a partner that is both “stable and reliable,” even amid global disruptions. The SanTech team praised ACS’s ability to maintain delivery and support, and highlighted ACS’s deep technical expertise and professionalism.
One standout moment in their collaboration was the development of a specially customized autofocus algorithm for a demanding application. ACS provided comprehensive testing details and manuals, which significantly reduced local deployment time. Another milestone was the joint effort to test and refine five-axis machining capabilities. “The ACS engineers demonstrated an extremely efficient and professional ability to solve problems. They were also very patient in explaining the issues we encountered. This has greatly enhanced our confidence in promoting the application of 5-axis machining.”
The partnership has delivered measurable business impact. ACS’s gantry solution helped SanTech outperform competitors in the laser processing field, securing key local orders. The introduction of products like UDMsm streamlined inventory and reduced SKUs, while the five-axis processing function shortened R&D cycles and costs.
Looking ahead, SanTech is excited to explore new frontiers with ACS, including advanced packaging in semiconductors and AI-driven machining systems. As one team member put it, “ACS is a globally renowned leading brand of high-end motion controllers. It will significantly enhance the motion control performance of your equipment.”
This partnership is more than technical—it’s personal. The friendship between ACS China engineers and the SanTech team extends beyond work, underscoring the trust and camaraderie that define their collaboration. It is this type of partnership that inspired our vision: “Smarter motion control solutions, through long-term partnerships, making life-changing innovations possible.”
