Robotics Applications
Compact, high-precision JVL motors power robotic joints, end-effectors, and positioning stages — delivering servo-grade performance in a fraction of the space.
Industry Challenges
Compact Joint Design
Robotic arms demand maximum torque in minimum volume. Every millimeter of motor length impacts reach and payload.
Sub-Millimeter Accuracy
Assembly and inspection robots require repeatable positioning under varying loads and speeds.
High-Speed Pick & Place
Cycle times under one second demand rapid acceleration, precise deceleration, and zero overshoot.
Cobot Integration
Collaborative robot peripherals need safe, responsive drives that integrate with Universal Robots and other platforms.

Why JVL for Robotics?
Ultra-Compact NEMA 17
MIS17 series packs closed-loop servo control into a 42mm frame — ideal for lightweight robot joints.
ServoStep Technology
Stepper reliability combined with servo precision eliminates missed steps without complex tuning.
409,600 Steps/Rev
Industry-leading resolution enables sub-micron positioning for inspection and micro-assembly tasks.
EtherCAT Native
Deterministic real-time communication for synchronized multi-axis robot control at cycle times under 1ms.
Winning Applications
A total of 4 MAC motors are used for a range of different purposes in one of the company's large assembly machines.
USCompact construction, simple cabling, lots of control facilities when using MacTalk, especially fieldbus modules — especially Profibus DP — for use with compact motors. Price-performance ratio was also an important factor.
