Configurator & shop
For us, a batch size of 1 is nothing out of the ordinary.
In the spirit of Industry 4.0, the maxon online configurator allows our customers to combine a motor, gearhead, and encoder into a specific drive and send the order directly to production. Prices are displayed in real time, and once the configuration is complete, 2D as well as 3D engineering data can be accessed directly. The digital model can immediately be integrated into the customer’s application. The delivery time for configurable products is usually 11 days.

Project management
Successful collaboration needs strong partners.
In our project management, we apply our 60 years of experience to the individual requirements of complex industrial applications.
maxon’s interdisciplinary development teams are made up of experienced engineers and technicians, who support our customers from the specification phase to the start of production and beyond. We guarantee constant transparency, flexibility, and a proactive information flow.
The maxon team works with the customer to develop a comprehensive solution pathway. Through research and consideration of multiple alternative technical implementations, the most efficient and cost-effective variant is assessed in a short period of time.
Industry 4.0 requires drives, controllers, and sensors to be connected to form efficient systems. We support our customers as a reliable partner by prioritizing process reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Frequently asked questions
How does maxon ensure that the data given in the catalog will be achieved?
The development process for every product includes validation of the motor or gearhead data. In our in-house laboratory, new products undergo extensive testing. This is how we ensure that the electrical and mechanical specifications will be met.
Can maxon simulate the thermal behavior at a specific operating point or in a specific cycle?
Yes, we can determine the behavior for each motor with simulations or calculations.
Does maxon produce custom controllers in addition to the catalog range?
Yes. maxon has a large team of development engineers working on controllers. We have all the necessary know-how from design to prototyping in-house, and therefore are able to respond flexibly to special customer requirements.
Is there a minimum order quantity for configurable motors or gearheads?
No, configurable products or products with standard modifications from the maxon catalog can be ordered in any quantity. For more complex configurations, the minimum order quantity is three units.
