NJ501 Machine Automation Controller

Modular controller combining sequence, motion, robotics and vision on a single EtherCAT backbone.

Where it fits

One controller handling logic, up to 64 axes of motion, robot kinematics and vision, which matters on high-speed packaging and assembly lines where synchronising separate controllers is the hard part. Deterministic EtherCAT cycle times keep the whole machine on one clock.
