XCR General-Purpose Interface Board

XCR is an ultra-compact interface board offering interface and connectivity for almost all the features embedded in either Capitan NET or Everest S NET. Despite of its small size it’s rated to the full power of the Everest S, and gets the drive ready-to-use by including the required electronics for EtherCAT and CANopen communications, IOs, all compatible feedbacks, and many others.

Dual axis interface board for Capitan NET. Its main purpose is to move the drive from the joints, the densest elements in a collaborative robot, to the robot links, a component typically underutilized. With this, the integration complexity of the robot could be reduced while keeping the advantages of Capitan NET as a motion controller.
