Mechapro

The company

Since 2001 mechapro® is the specialist for drive solutions with compact electrical drives, with focus on controllers for stepping motors. Our engineers support you as independend consultants in all phases of the product live cycles, from the development up to the series implementation.

To control a stepper motor seems very simple at a first glance. But no matter if your application requires positioning accuracy, low noise or reliable operation: To uitilize a stepper motor in an optimal way and gain best performance with the complete system, it requires experience and detailed knowledge.

With respect to the overall costs of a system it’s also important to keep an eye on mounting and wiring costs and efforts. A custom-tailored solution can be cheapter even at low volumes compared to supposed cheap standard components. We are happy to help you to find the optimal solution for your application.
