Recently launched by Trio Motion and available with full support from Mclennan, the new Flex-6-Nano is a powerful integrated EtherCAT servo/stepper controller for high-speed synchronised motion and machine control. With factory loaded modules for 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 axes and with additional motion expansion through add-on axis modules, the din-rail mounted system also takes care of machine I/O and supplementary motion through Trio’s modular Flexslice input, output and axis modules. The combination of factory loaded and field expandable motion, and I/O expansion, is a perfect fit for Mclennan’s motion systems design and build service.

Effective from June 2017, Phytron GmbH has appointed Mclennan as its exclusive UK and Ireland sales partner. Mclennan will handle enquiries and provide technical and sales support for the specialist and extreme environment stepper motor, drive and motion systems manufacturer.
