Tell me more about igus® dryves

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®.

An insight into Low Cost Automation

Low Cost Automation is a group of products within the igus® dry-tech® product range. These products range from something as simple as a lead screw and nut, through to a fully working robot arm.
There are three main robot types that we offer within our Low Cost Automation range. These all have their place and will be selected depending on the task that is required of the robot.
The robots can be described as, fast, flexible and modular.

Motor controller? We’ve got you sorted!
