maxon introduces a multi-axis controller for highly dynamic positioning tasks

20 November 2020

maxon is launching the next generation of motion controllers with its MiniMACS6-AMP-4/50/10.

The controller is used wherever PLC solutions are too expensive or cannot meet customer-specific requirements.

maxon’s new multi-axis controller, the MiniMACS6-AMP-4/50/10, offers precise and highly dynamic control of up to six DC motors or four BLDC motors (up to 540W continuous output power and 1.6 kW peak output power). The controller is an economical and compact solution for system designers who develop autonomous robots or shuttle systems. 

A significant advantage of the new multi-axis solution is that it is programmable with the comprehensive ApossIDE automation software and the license-free Motion Control Library (written in C). Integrated bus interfaces enable efficient data exchange with higher-level controllers. However, it is also possible to run complete process sequences autonomously, without a PLC or PC.

The MiniMACS6-AMP-4/50/10 will be available in early 2021. Discover more about the MiniMac at maxon’s new online trade fair
