➀ Nanotec launched the N6 driver for stepper and BLDC motors, featuring sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) and closed-loop control for precise torque/speed management, supporting up to 300W, 6A continuous current, and 18A peak.

➁ It offers multiple communication protocols (EtherCAT, CANopen, Modbus), programming via Plug&Drive Studio, and compatibility with Hall sensors/encoders. An upcoming 'safe torque off' (STO) function enhances safety.

➂ Targeted at laboratory automation, medical technology, and packaging equipment, the driver operates at 12-57.6Vdc and includes digital/analog inputs, brake output, and multi-country application support.
