Product Overview

One controller for the whole CubeMars range

The CubeMars Driver Board is a high-performance motor controller designed for the AK, AKA, AKE and AKH series of robotic actuators. An onboard 14 to 21 bit single-turn absolute encoder and a temperature sensor provide precise feedback for closed-loop control, while integrated over-current and over-temperature protection keep the motor safe under load.

Dual CAN bus and UART serial interfaces work seamlessly with the CubeMars Tool software for real-time parameter tuning, firmware updates and flexible control across position, velocity and torque modes.
