Wireless motor communications - it really makes sense!
We Humans mostly move around freely and use wireless communications like speech and sight!
We wouldn’t want to be wired up. How about using electrical motors in a similar way?
JVL offer a range of wireless interface modules for the MAC series of advanced servo motors. For many applications, wireless communications is superior to cabled solutions.

At the moment 3 different wireless modules are available for the integrated MAC motors.
