Motors, drives, and motion controllers can be used to develop customized additive manufacturing systems. A wide selection of linear, rotary, lift and Z-axis stages and goniometers are complemented by advanced drives and controls. A variety of linear motor gantry systems are available with all electronics, and a machine base and are ready to produce immediately upon installation.

Controllers are available in both stand-alone and software-only versions with from 1 to 32 axes of synchronized control. Both mechanical and air-bearing stages are available. Motors can be brush, brushless, torque, linear or rotary. Steel or granite machine bases are available and easily integrated into any system.
