Compact Motion Drives

Label: GIN-MAX4x4 / GIN-MAX4x10

✓ Up to 32 kHz position loop

✓ Various analog and digital I/Os

✓ Full-fledged GinLink master with PRO version

The compact design of the GIN-MAX4x4 motion board, which consists of a motion and a distribution board, enables machine designs in the smallest of spaces. Up to four axes can be controlled in a coordinated manner. All conventional motor and encoder systems are supported. If required, two motor output stages can be connected in parallel to double the output power.

In addition to the motors, a wide range of analogue and digital peripherals such as dispensers, solenoid valves, PT100 temperature sensors and buttons can be connected.

Furthermore, three PWM outputs are available, which can be used for any resistive and inductive loads such as the illumination of camera systems.

The GIN-MAX4x4 board is also available as PRO version, which is equipped with a dual-core CPU and GinLink master functionality. The additional CPU core makes it possible to implement the complete machine control on the motion board.
