Introduction

A history and a future.
Value
from a company means a whole lot
more, as well. One benchmark of
value is that a company has been
around long enough to have a proven
track record, and that it's going to be
around for many years to come.
No problem there. Galil has been
designing and producing motion con-
trollers since 1983. You probably
already know that Galil was a pioneer
in this industry. Galil's initial prod-
uct, designed by its co-founders, was
the first microprocessor-based servo
motion controller that required no
tachometer feedback. It was a break-
through in the then fledgling industry
of computer-driven motion control.
The company has come a long
way since then, with over 200,000
motion controllers in the field reli-
ably doing the job day after day, year
after year, in literally hundreds of dif-
ferent kinds of applications.
And Galil continues to grow and
prosper. As of this writing, the com-
pany has shown a solid profit for the
last 50 consecutive quarters, intro-
ducing new-generation products year
after year.
What we do best.
Closely allied
with its longevity is where and how the
total resources of a company are allo-
cated. At Galil, we have no other busi-
ness but motion control. We are spe-
cialists in motion control. That's what
we do best. Taken together, our engi-
neers represent more than 100 man-
years in the design and pro-
duction of motion con-
trollers for every use imagin-
able. And we have devel-
oped a world-wide network
of factory-trained represen-
tatives and distributors who are also
experts in motion control.
We listen.
One measure of true
value must be the responsiveness of a
company to its customer's needs. And
that's just what the engineers at Galil
do. It's right at the top of their job
descriptions. Someone from Galil calls
every single customer shortly after he
or she buys one of our products to see
how the product is working out, if
there are any questions, how it's going.
We really listen to our customers.
Many of our new products were
designed and brought to market based
on what our customers were saying,
what capabilities they wanted in a con-
troller, what conveniences. For years
we have worked closely with customers
to define their exact requirements and
then build what they wanted from the
ground up, if necessary.
We freely publish our prices--we
don't keep secrets at Galil. And our
volume prices are typically half the
price of our competitors.
When you need help,
we're there.
We also provide you with phone, fax
and e-mail access. You can contact
any of us, including Dr. Jacob Tal,
president and co-founder of Galil.
You can visit our website at
galilmc.com for the latest product
updates or to upload or download
software. Whenever you have a prob-
lem or need applications support,
when you're dealing with Galil, you
communicate directly with a trained,
experienced motion control engineer.
It's called service
. Value is also
measured by what a company gives
back to its industry, and again Galil
has to receive the highest marks. In
the last 15 years Galil has trained
more than 10,000 engineers through-
out our industry in the mechanics
and intricacies of motion control.
Dr. Tal has taught countless seminars
and has written widely disseminated
text books, articles and papers on
motion control. The company has
also held in-house training programs
in which customers are trained on
specific products and applications.
In addition, we publish a free
newsletter called ServoTrends which
keeps you and others in the industry
up to date about new products,
describes unusual applications by
our customers, and analyzes the fine
points of technical problems.
Galil provides application
assistance from its
toll-free number.
