Space saving design
IP67 decentralized drive for reduced cabling
The Robox RID20-E servo drive is the optimal solution for implementing decentralized automation architectures. Designed for installation in close proximity to the motor (NEARBY), the RID20-E addresses space constraints and wiring complexity while ensuring the reliability and performance of a centralized system, even in demanding environments, thanks to its IP67 protection rating.
