From a single axis.
To a whole machine.
Explore 29 machines across 12 application areas. Reveal the drives inside each one and see which of the eight actuator architectures moves every joint.
Twelve application areas.
Every machine reveals its drives: 239 mapped actuator locations, each assigned one of the eight architectures. Choose a machine to explore it.

5 auxiliary mechanisms (pneumatic grippers and pushers, hydraulic holding clamps and a drawbar release) remain host equipment and are excluded from these counts. Family assignments are illustrative; they do not assert a manufacturer's internal architecture, an APRUMO supply relationship or verified engineering suitability.
