Swiss Made

Motion control, fully integrated.

Ultra-compact servo drives for robotics and industrial automation. Real-time EtherCAT with Beckhoff or any PLC, or non-real-time control directly from Python.

FOC and torque ripple compensation

Brushless, electrically commutated motors let rotor and stator fields be controlled together. Field-oriented control (FOC) with torque ripple compensation keeps output torque nearly constant, so almost no ripple remains perceptible.

Position

Accurate positioning

Smooth torque delivery supports precise, repeatable motion along the trajectory.

Force

Precise force control

Stable torque also enables accurate force and torque regulation at the load.

HDrive product line

Motor, drive electronics, encoder and motion control in one Swiss-made unit. Three released models, ready for production use.
