Company Overview

Synapticon GmbH is a German motion-control company headquartered at Steinbeisstrasse 1 in Schonaich, near Stuttgart, Germany, founded in 2012. The company operates additional offices in Redwood City, California and Shenzhen, China, and describes a software-first approach in which it develops both the drive hardware and the control software used to run it.

Synapticon's product line centers on the SOMANET family of integrated servo drives, including the Node, Integro, Circulo and Core models built for direct integration into robot joints and automation machinery. Its ACTILINK actuator line pairs these drives with harmonic-drive gearing in the ACTILINK-JP series for high-precision robotics and with planetary gearing in the ACTILINK-JD series for humanoid-robot joints, while ACTILINK-S integrated servomotors cover 200 to 1000 watts of continuous power and up to 13 newton-meters of torque. The MOTORCORTEX suite provides real-time multi-axis motion control and the OBLAC toolset handles drive configuration and commissioning. The POSITRON Safety AI platform adds safe-motion, safe-human-detection and behavioral-safety functions, running on SOMANET Safe Motion hardware certified to SIL3 PLe.

Synapticon lists ZJ Humanoids, Rheinmetall Yardstick, Lenovo, Robco and Cosmopack among the customers using its drives and actuators in robot joints and automation equipment.
