SE Controls

Very professional and timely sales and technical support. Good delivery timeline. NI 24 40 chain motors - highly reccomended, for being fully customizable on site and very good ratio stroke - push force To be improved: for NI 24 40 series - ease the acces to the conectivity socket (very difficult to get at, when programming adjustments are needed after the motor has been installed).
