Perfect coordination
thanks to multi-axis and kinematically complex movements that are easy to realise with the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER

Simple service
due to convenient serviceability thanks to decentralised technique, simple pluggability and single-cable solution

Decentralised controller type SCM compact, multi-axis design

For mobile and decentralised movement and processing tasks

The multi-axis servo controller solutions specially tailored to customer requirements for mobile and decentralised applications in DC-48 V technique. technology.

The SCM compact design with IP20 degree of protection and 2-axes is specially developed for compact installation in a machine. machine. In the design without through-hole heat sinks, mounting and cooling are carried out directly in your machine via the cooling plate. Prefabricated cables are available for the electrical connection of the motors. The periphery connection of the decentralised controller can be customised using the "SCM periphery plug" accessories. The "SCM shield connection" accessories are available for connecting the shield directly to the device.
