Copley Control Nano NPS-Z

Nano is the smallest servo drive that Copley offers and can be mounted directly on the motor or within the robotic joints. It can satisfy requirements of the robotics, AGV, industrial machinery, medical/life-sciences and aerospace industries. The NPS module may be implemented in a customer application using only connectors, or it can be used when the power pins may be soldered for high load current applications. 

The NPS-Z is a small form factor available for immediate integration into a customer application used with industry standard connectors and a heat plate mounted to the frame. The NPS-D is a Development Kit used for prototyping.
