igus® dryves are the motor controllers that we have developed to help customers reach a complete solution. Mainly, they consist of the igus® D1 dryve, this is the stepper motor controller we have, which can also control brushed and brushless DC motors. Then, we have the igus® D3 dryve which is a simple brushed DC motor controller for simple applications. This basically represents two sectors: the D1 dryve as an industrial controller for cartesian robots, delta robots and articulated robot arms, including those produced by igus®.
