Applied Motion Products
Announces Worlds Most Expensive Game
Automated game offers
unprecedented level in overkill
Bloomington, MN (August 11, 2005) —
Today Applied Motion Products unveiled the world's
most expensive Operation® game. The combination of the beloved
Milton Bradley game with leading edge Machine Automation
systems has led to the amusement and interest of manufacturing
and design engineers at companies such as 3M, Medtronic,
Boston Scientific among others. The availability of a child's
game with automation systems normally found on industrial
machinery costing over $100,000 has left managers at many
companies speechless.
“Never before has a simple game incorporated
such leading edge technology including linear servo motors,
piezo electric servos and 1 micron feedback devices” says
Robert Johnson, Director of Hyperbola at Applied Motion
Products . “It has already surpassed the military industrial
complexes $600.00 hammers and $1000.00 toilet seats in
excessive overkill of specification and execution. With the
availability of .1 micron feedback and web based control
interfaces, I expect more customers to examine this game and
reject it as overpriced.”
Record Rate of Customer Rejection
Many customers have already examined the
technologies showcased in this whimsical system and
successfully utilized them to get the high speed and accuracy
this system offers to improve their manufacturing processes
speed, repeatability, and reliability. But an unprecedented
100% of those believe that application of these proven machine
technologies to children's games is just plain dumb.
“The world simply does not need a $25,000.00
5 axis, microprocessor driven, servo controlled machine to
remove the funny bone from the picture of a chubby, alarmed
man” stated Fred Zimmerman, professor at University of St
Thomas School of Engineering.” While it is true our local
manufacturers need to use these technologies to improve their
processes in order to compete in the global market, this sort
of thing is, well, silly.”
This game integrates leading technologies
from manufacturers like Yaskawa Electric,
Renishaw,
Nanomotion, and
NSK Precision. It is the ability to take the
best products from around the globe and provide a cost
effective solution to machine requirements that sets Applied
Motion Products apart from other regional distributors of
automation products. It will be on display at the Medical
Design & Manufacturing show in Minneapolis November 2nd
and 3rd in booth # 601
“I have expected Applied Motion Products to
analyze tough machine applications,” said Harry Worm, Director
of Engineering, Accraply Division of Barry Wehmiller. “They
have provided cost effective solutions for my company over and
over. However, on this project they have gone off the deep
end.”
Founded in 1979, Applied Motion Products is a
regional leader in components, subassemblies, and systems for
machine automation and precision motion control. The company
offers a wide range of products and services designed to
improve machines — any time, any place and in any industry.
