Intelligent motors provide all-in-one design
iMOT17 is Technosoft’s family of size 42mm (NEMA17) motors with integrated electronics, containing a brushless or stepper motor, encoder, servo drive and motion controller, all in one compact unit, thus avoiding cabling between individual motor, encoder and drive.
For single and multi-axis applications, the intelligent motor can operate as a slave on CANopen or EtherCAT network executing motion sequences received from the master controller or standalone operation with stored complex motion sequences programmed via Technosoft Motion Language in the EasyMotion Studio software. Motion libraries are also available. Available with a series of high quality planetary gearboxes, the iMOT17 intelligent motor range has been designed specifically for precise, repeatable positioning applications where a cost effective and compact solution is required.
