About

About Synapticon

Circulo integrates a servo drive, safety functions, brake control and dual encoders within a hollow-shaft actuator format. EtherCAT communication and certified safe-motion functions allow robot designers to distribute control close to each joint while retaining coordinated machine-level motion and functional safety.

The SOMANET Node range provides the same drive and control technology as modular electronics for motors supplied by other manufacturers. Synapticon’s partnership with Stabilus combines this servo and safety stack with mechanical actuation expertise in a humanoid actuator family planned for European production from 2027.
