Due to increased interest in motion control technology in Asia, Sercos International recently opened a branch office in China. The office is located in Beijing and is operated by CAMETA (China Association for Mechatronics Technology & Application), a non-profit organization involved in the development of mechatronic technologies and products.

According to the company’s press release, Sercos has been working with companies and engineers for several years in China. In 2002, a Sercos interface was added to the China National Standard allowing local companies to use certain technologies. A Chinese website has been set up for the new branch office at www.sercos.org.cn. In addition to offices in the United States, Japan and Germany, the China branch will serve as an international contact point for developers and users.
