Systems at maxon have two mean- ings: they can form a subsystem as standalone building blocks—or become part of a higher‑level architecture as an integrated solution. Everything starts with understanding the requirements. The common foundation of all applica- tions is to generate motion. The paths to achieving this are diverse and often decided in the details. Individuality has been part of every- day life at maxon since the beginning. Customized solutions, even in smaller volumes, are a core element of how we work. At the center is a broad selection of components based on proven, well-
established platforms. This not only cre- ates a wide range of options but, above all, freedom of design. This makes it possible to implement requirements flexibly. Modification or custom product The variety of drives, gearheads, con- trollers, and configuration options forms the starting point—clearly reflected in this catalog. We contribute our system and application expertise early on and develop the solution that fits. Often, there is more than one tech- nically sound option. What matters is choosing the approach that suits the
application and enables the desired scalability. Taking a system‑based approach does not necessarily mean developing everything from scratch. Often, the added value lies in thoughtfully extend- ing existing architectures, leveraging interfaces, and seamlessly integrating functions. And when the requirements call for it, a completely new product is created together. Our platforms and 65 years of experience in building drive systems provide the foundation for this. Because no system is like another—but many of them rely on maxon.
