Motor Type

Teknic ClearPath^® Brushless Servo

If you require highest level of production power and precision, this is the motor choice for you. ClearPath^® Servos offer industry-leading performance and peace of mind with closed-loop functionality allowing the system to recover in the event of an error or fault for the duration of your job.

NEMA 34 Stepper

For production shops, commercial users, or those with large machines, our NEMA 34 stepper motors offer excellent speed, torque and positional accuracy, punching way above their price.

NEMA 23 Stepper

Our NEMA 23 steppers are an affordable and very capable option for those who are less concerned with cutting speed, but still want an extremely reliable and easy to use machine.

Motor Quantity Support

4-Motor Capable Systems

Many large format CNC machines, including all of our Large Format and Benchtop CNC machines, employ a dual-drive gantry system which utilize a 4-motor system to drive 3 axes. This is the most common configuration and the default for our systems.

5-Motor Capable Systems

Enable the capability to control an additional independent axis simultaneously, like a rotary or additional Z-axis, for use now or in the future. Additional motor and motor cables are not included.

Stepper controllers with 5-motor support come pre-wired with an extra stepper motor drive. All servo systems are 5th motor ready as the drives are built directly into the motors.

Rotary axis, second Z-axis, additional 5th motor and cabling for these systems are available through our customer support team.
