ClearPath motors are at home in applications ranging from variable speed
conveyors to multi-axis positioning robots, to kinetic sculptures. And,
while most ClearPath customers have a specific application in mind, it’s
nice to know that your ClearPath can be reprogrammed to perform a
different job in minutes.
Safety and self-protection features are standard. ClearPath will
rapidly shut down if it becomes overloaded, overheated, detects a hard
stop, or exceeds any of the safety or motion limits you specify.
Made in USA. Each ClearPath motor is built and tested in our upstate
New York manufacturing facility, so you can be certain you’re getting a
high quality, fully tested motion control product right out of the box.
Additionally, Teknic backs up each ClearPath motor with a generous three
year warranty.
