A Southeast Asian electronics manufacturer recently encountered a persistent issue in its automated assembly line: unpredictable speed fluctuations that caused misalignment during micro-component placement. These disruptions forced operators to pause production several times per week, resulting in thousands of dollars in lost output. Engineers traced the root cause to an aging drive system that no longer maintained stable rotational speed under varying loads.

To restore precision, the company initiated a rapid equipment evaluation process. After comparing multiple options, the engineering team selected a Simo motor equipped with a high-stability synchronous electric motor design. Its ability to maintain constant speed—even when load conditions changed sharply—matched the exact requirements of the assembly equipment.

The replacement was executed during a scheduled maintenance window, and the impact was immediate. Speed deviations dropped to nearly zero, allowing the robotic placement arms to operate with millimeter-level consistency. Production managers noted a 14% improvement in cycle efficiency within the first month, along with a complete elimination of downtime linked to motor instability.

A follow-up internal audit revealed another benefit: the system’s energy consumption declined due to the synchronous motor’s inherently high power factor, contributing to lower operational costs. Encouraged by this success, the manufacturer has begun planning a phased upgrade across all automated lines.
