In today’s race toward higher productivity, factories aren’t just automating, they’re accelerating.

Robots are moving faster. Conveyors are running quicker. Packaging lines are cycling at record speeds.

But as machine speeds increase, the forces acting on them multiply.

Sudden stops, fast motion, and repetitive impacts put enormous stress on automation systems.

And that’s why the world’s fastest factories now rely on advanced energy absorption technology to keep performance high and downtime low with ITT Enidine leading the way.

The Hidden Challenge of High-Speed Automation

Speed is a competitive advantage but it comes with a price.

When machinery moves faster, every impact becomes sharper, every stop becomes harder, and every stroke transfers more force into the structure. This can lead to:

• Reduced accuracy at high speeds
• Excessive wear on machine components
• Overheating of motors or actuators
• Unexpected breakdowns
• Speed limits that cap productivity

Many factories try to increase cycle rates, only to discover that their equipment can’t handle the stress.

The Missing Piece: Advanced Energy Absorption

If motion is the heart of automation, energy absorption is the shock absorber that keeps it healthy.

This is where ITT Enidine comes in.

Their engineered industrial shock absorbers and motion control products allow automation systems to:

✅ Move faster

Shock is absorbed, not transferred. Machines can safely increase speed without damaging themselves.

✅ Stop smoother

End-of-stroke impacts are controlled, protecting actuators, slides, and robotics from sudden force spikes.

✅ Maintain precision

Reduced vibration means better performance in pick-and-place systems, inspection lines, and assembly processes.

✅ Increase uptime

Less stress = fewer breakdowns = more productivity.

In other words, Enidine lets your machines perform at their true potential.

Where High-Speed Energy Absorption Makes a Difference

1. High-cycle packaging lines
   Actuators and conveyors can run faster without wearing out guides and slides.
2. Robotics & gantry systems
   Sharper acceleration and smoother deceleration improve accuracy and throughput.
3. Material handling & buffer zones
   Shock absorbers protect goods, structures, and equipment during fast transfers.
4. Automated warehousing
   Shuttles, lifters, and handling equipment operate at higher speeds without structural stress.
5. Precision manufacturing lines
   Vibration isolation keeps vision systems, sensors, and inspection tools stable at high speed.

The Enidine Edge

ITT Enidine doesn’t just make standard shock absorbers, they engineer energy absorption systems tuned to the exact motion characteristics of your machine.

Their solutions help with:

• high-frequency cycling
• extreme temperature environments
• heavy loads
• precision positioning
• long-term durability

It’s technology built for the factories of tomorrow.

As automation continues to evolve, speed will remain a defining competitive advantage. But speed without control leads to downtime, damage, and costly repairs.

With ITT Enidine’s energy absorption technology, manufacturers can confidently push their systems harder and smarter.
