Copley Controls to Showcase Compact Motion Solutions at Automate 2026
Discover how Copley's compact drives and custom motor-drive assemblies can revolutionize robotics in ASEAN factories.
Revolutionizing Robotics with Compact Drives and Custom Assemblies \\[Copley Controls](http://copleycontrols.com) is set to make a significant impact at the upcoming [Automate 2026](https://www.automateshow.com/) in Chicago, where they will showcase their latest innovations in compact module drives and custom integrated motor-drive assemblies. These solutions are designed to address the growing need for efficient, space-saving motion control in robotics, particularly in the context of Southeast Asian factories. \\[Booth 1869](http://copleycontrols.com) will feature demonstrations of the Nano and Nano Plus module drives, which are among the most compact high-performance servo drives available on the market. These drives are ideal for space-constrained applications such as robotic joints, where heat dissipation is a critical concern. The Nano and Nano Plus drives support a wide range of motors, including brushless, DC brush, and linear motors, and are compatible with industrial networks like EtherCAT, CANopen, and EtherNet/IP. \\For factories in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, these compact drives offer a significant advantage. In regions where factory floor space is at a premium, the ability to integrate high-performance drives into tight spaces can lead to more efficient use of resources and reduced operational costs. Additionally, the compatibility with various industrial networks ensures seamless integration into existing manufacturing systems, enhancing overall productivity. \\One of the key highlights at the booth will be Copley's new capability to build custom integrated motor-drive assemblies. This service allows customers to combine a motor and drive into a single, tailored assembly, reducing the need for additional interconnects, cabling, and connectors. The demonstration unit, a frameless motor in a custom housing, is configured for direct drive, eliminating the need for gear reduction between the motor and the load. This not only shrinks the overall form factor but also manages thermal load internally, making it an ideal solution for space-constrained applications. \\In the context of ASEAN factories, this custom integration capability can be a game-changer. For example, in the automotive and electronics industries, where precision and efficiency are paramount, the ability to create custom motor-drive assemblies can lead to more reliable and cost-effective solutions. In the mold and die industry, where space is often limited, these compact and integrated solutions can help optimize production lines and reduce downtime. \\Factory buyers in ASEAN should take note of Copley's offerings, as they provide a unique opportunity to enhance the performance and efficiency of their robotic systems. By leveraging these compact and customizable solutions, factories can achieve higher levels of automation, improve product quality, and stay competitive in the global market. \\To learn more about Copley's innovative solutions and how they can benefit your factory, visit [Copley Controls' website](http://copleycontrols.com).
