Mechatronics in Motion

Mechatronics in Motion believes in focusing not only on our customers but also on the distributors that support them. We provide consultation services to our customers and assist them in selecting the proper hardware for their application needs. We also provide all of the drawings, models, and technical specifications needed to finalize their design.

Mechatronics in Motion maintains a direct relationship with our customers and distributors in our market. We will also manage the marketing and sales of our products from our principals directly and through our distribution channel.

Our goal is to work synergistically with only select manufacturers so we may focus our efforts more effectively on building stronger, more efficient relationships with our clients. We act as an extension of the manufacturer, and the customer should see us as the face of the manufacturer.

In summation Mechatronics in Motion’s mission is to be the “Premier Manufacturers Representative for motion control products in the Pacific Northwest”.

Our Leadership

The founder of Mechatronics in Motion, Troy Lake, has been working with Motion control equipment for over thirty years. He started his career serving six years in the US Navy as an Electronics technician maintaining a weapon system called the Phalanx, or CIWS, (Close-in weapon system). During his time in the Navy, he graduated from City University, in Washington, and went on to teach at a technical institute. He was later employed by a couple of OEMs in San Diego, where he specialized in designing and installing motion control equipment used to automate factory processes throughout the world. Two decades later, Troy moved to Eugene, Oregon and became the Motion Solutions Specialist for North Coast Electric’s Automation Group. During Troy’s time with North Coast Electric, he was responsible for the marketing, sales, and technical support of Allen Bradley (along with their mechanical encompass partners) motion control equipment. He was also responsible for broadening North Coast Electric’s mechanical motion control product offering.

In 2014 Troy saw a need to provide the customer base in the Pacific Northwest with a local representative that had a strong motion control background, and he found an opportunity to utilize his extensive motion control background, to provide the customer base in the Pacific Northwest with that knowledge. Thus he founded Mechatronics In Motion.
