📋 Tender Overview
The drive specialist maxon is launching the next generation of its Motion Controller on the market. This will be a compact solution for systems designers that develop autonomous robots or shuttle systems.Maxon the Obwalden-based manufacturer of high-precision motors is presenting its multi-axis controller for highly dynamic positioning tasks. The MiniMACS6-AMP-45010 can precisely control up to six DC or four BLDC motors. According to a press release the controller represents an economical and compact solution for systems designers who develop autonomous robots or shuttle systems. It can be used wherever programmable logic controller PLC solutions are too expensive or cannot meet customer-specific requirements.A clear advantage of the new multi-axis solution is the fact that is can be programmed with the ApossIDE automation software and the license-free Motion Control Library written in C. Complete process sequences can also be carried out autonomously without a PLC or PC. The controller will be available from the start of 2021.Maxon has showcased all innovations from 2020 in a new video. In response to the cancelled trade fairs this year the company has invited all interested parties to attend a virtual exhibition. Here there will also be a chance to encounter the fifth Mars rover which NASA sent to the Red Planet in July earlier this year in order to collect soil samples. The rover is equipped with precision motors designed by maxon. According to information from the company itself more than 100 motors developed by the Obwalden-based firm have been used for previous robot missions on Mars.
