Visitor were able to see a modular compact drive that was developed especially for applications in industrial and logistics automation. The IDX drive combines a powerful, brushless EC-i motor and an EPOS4 positioning controller, which can be complemented with a maxon planetary gearhead when required. This drive stands out for its high efficiency, maintenance-free components, and a high-quality industrial housing with IP65 protection. It also features configurable digital and analog inputs and outputs, and intuitive software enabling easy commissioning and integration into master systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A solution for confined spaces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of positioning controllers: The maxon EPOS4 is now also available in a Micro version. As the name suggests, the benefits of these motion controllers are their small size and attractive pricing. The EPOS4 Micro 24\/5  is suitable for robotic applications where space is at a premium, and cost-sensitive multi-axis applications. Visitors to SPS got a detailed look at these small motion controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On all three days, maxon experts were there ready to talk about innovative aerospace and medical applications, share their expertise, and discuss potential solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, there was an interesting robotic reptile displayed at the maxon booth. Biorobotics expert Kamilo Melo has created a robotic snake especially for maxon. With 16 maxon DC motors and a specific software, it moves just like one of its natural counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For more information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maxonmotor.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.maxonmotor.com<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A powerful compact drive, new momentum in medical and aerospace technology, and an unusual snake: maxon showed this and much more at the previous SPS exhibition in Nuremberg.
