maxon's Modular Integrated Robot Joint

maxon's first positioning controllers in a round design with a centered hole. These are especially suitable for integration into articulated joints, wheel drives, and robotics.

They combine the technology of a Harmonic Drive Gearbox + Maxon EC Flat motor + Posital absolute encoder kit + Maxon Epos4 disk drive.

The new controllers are available in both a CANopen version and an EtherCAT version.

They can be purchased in pre-configured models, as well as customized to fit your solution.
