can you be more specific?

do you need animation for a website or HMI display that is used to control machine?

if for website, i think many would simply use flash.

if for machine, one would use animation properties of objects placed on screen and tie them to some tag (internal or one read from PLC), for example wonderware, RS FactoryTalk etc. Any industrial HMI will have software with SOME animation capabilities. newer ones are far more capable. one of very reasonably priced but powerful product lines is CMore (it is multivendor so it supports variety of PLCs):

if you are using PC as HMI, you can do the same thing by getting suitable library, for example:

thanks for answering panic mode, I want these animations for website, but it's a little boring to draw schematic for industrial machines

Just draw them frame by frame in any 2D program you prefer, then add all the frames into an animated GIF file.
