Henschel Robotics

Servo motion,
fully integrated.

Ultra-compact drives with motor, power stage, encoder and FOC control in one housing. Built for robotics and industrial automation.

Field-oriented control

Torque without
perceptible ripple

Brushless, electrically commutated motors let rotor and stator fields be controlled together. FOC with torque ripple compensation keeps output torque nearly constant, for accurate positioning and precise force control.

  • Position Smooth torque for repeatable trajectories
  • Force Stable moment for accurate load regulation

Control paths

PLC first. Python when it fits.

The normal path for HDrive-ETC is a PLC. Python on a PC suits smaller projects without hard real-time requirements.
