Problem
Traditional robotics and industrial automation systems often require complex integration of separate servo drives, sensors, and safety controllers, leading to increased system size, wiring, and commissioning time. This fragmentation can limit performance, efficiency, and the ability to implement advanced safety features.
Solution
Synapticon develops highly integrated motion control solutions that consolidate servo drives, position sensors, I/O, brake control, and functional safety into single, compact units. Their SOMANET product line offers exceptional current density and efficiency, enabling superior motion performance. The accompanying OBLAC Drive Tools and MOTORCORTEX Motion Suite simplify control, programming, and commissioning, facilitating faster product deployment and flexible operation. Synapticon's technology also incorporates certified safety functions, including SIL3 PLe and AI-based safety with POSITRON SAFETY AI, to enhance operational security and compliance.
Target Audience
Synapticon targets manufacturers of robotic arms, cobots, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and advanced industrial machines seeking to improve performance, reduce system complexity, and integrate advanced safety features.
