maxon’s compact drives feature controllers, sensors and motors in an aluminum casing, which, when combined with existing maxon products, produce robust, space-saving and high power density drive solutions. The new MCD EPOS is a highly dynamic, maintenance-free positioning drive with a fieldbus connection and a maximum 60 watt output. The drive is controlled, configured and diagnosed via the CANbus or serial interface (RS232). Several optically coupled inputs and outputs mean that sensors and events can be evaluated directly in the drive. Ideal for use in automation, robotics or laboratory applications.
