Life is about to turn golden for micro electrical drive system designer MICROMO. The Clearwater, Fla.-based company is turning 50 this year, and executives plan to mark the milestone with an “employee celebration” during the second half of 2011.
“MICROMO has grown dramatically over the past 50 years from a small distributor to a full service, value added technical center for the FAULHABER GROUP,” said Dodd Disler, MICROMO vice president and chief operating officer. “Our mission remains true today. We start with the highest performing motion products from around the world. Then we apply design, engineering, machining and assembly capabilities to customize products into complete solutions for specific applications. We deliver solutions with technical, logistics and customer support in our customers’ home territory. These benefits are critical for demanding markets such as medical, aerospace, and robotics.”
Founded in 1961, MICROMO designs and manufactures small DC motors, DC servomotors, and brushless motors. The firm is a member of the FAULHABER GROUP, a global designer and manufacturer of complex, high-precision miniature and micro drive systems for the medical device, telecommunications, precision optics and handling automation industries. The technology used in both MICROMO and FAULHABER products was invented nearly 60 years ago by Fritz Faulhaber, Ph.D., who developed an ironless bell-shaped rotor coil. The invention spawned a new industry sector that now produces millions of miniature “FAULHABER” motors, according to the company.
MICROMO’s 73,000-square-foot campus in Florida features a clean room subassembly area, a CNC machine shop, a testing laboratory and an area for inventory.
