Deterministic, Modular
Control
Modular, industrial control building blocks — bringing high-end CNC control discipline to broader automation and motion applications.
Control
At the heart of ANCA Motion
Control
For over 50 years, the ANCA Group has developed some of the world’s most advanced CNC systems. At the core of these systems is control — the combination of firmware, electronics, real-time algorithms, and platform software that enables precision, determinism, and reliability.
ANCA Motion was established to make this control capability available beyond CNC machines, through a set of modular, industrial control building blocks that can be applied across a wide range of automation and motion applications.
Servo Control Mechanisms
High-performance servo control is fundamental to accurate motion, synchronisation, and machine behaviour. ANCA Motion servo products are designed to deliver precise, deterministic control across single- and multi-axis systems.
Products in this category include:
- AC servo drives for standalone motion control
- Multi-axis servo systems for coordinated, high-bandwidth applications
- Servo control platforms supporting rotary and linear motors
- EtherCAT-based motion architectures for deterministic communication
This category represents the core real-time control layer — where motion accuracy, stability, and response are defined.

Industrial PCs & Control Platforms
Industrial control systems require more than raw computing power — they require predictable behaviour, long-term stability, and tight integration between motion and HMI.
ANCA Motion industrial control platforms bring together machine control, motion coordination, and system-level processing within robust, industrial-grade architectures.
Products in this category include:
- CNC and machine control units
- Industrial PCs designed for real-time control environments
- Platforms combining motion, logic, and HMI in a single system
- Open architectures supporting third-party software integration
These platforms form the system intelligence layer, coordinating motion, logic, interfaces, and diagnostics.
Motors
Motors are where control meets physics. ANCA Motion motors are designed to work as part of an integrated control system, ensuring predictable performance, smooth operation, and compatibility across a wide range of industrial applications.
Products in this category include:
- Permanent magnet AC servo motors
- Motors designed for low noise and vibration
- Configurations supporting brakes and feedback options
- Industry-standard form factors for system compatibility
This category delivers the electromechanical execution layer, translating control signals into precise physical motion.

EtherCAT Pendants & Interfaces
Effective control systems require intuitive, reliable human-machine interaction. ANCA Motion EtherCAT-based pendants and interfaces provide direct, deterministic interaction with control systems while reducing wiring complexity.
Products in this category include:
- Hand-held EtherCAT pendants
- Portable and machine-mounted control interfaces
- Safety-enabled operator interfaces
- Customisable user interaction devices
These interfaces form the human interaction layer, connecting operators directly to the control system in a safe and responsive way.

How these elements work together
ANCA Motion control products are designed as a coherent system — from real-time servo control and industrial computing, through to motors and operator interfaces. Each layer reflects the same control discipline developed in high-end CNC systems: deterministic behaviour, robust operation, and long-term reliability.
This modular approach allows customers to adopt ANCA control capability at the level that suits their application, while maintaining a consistent control philosophy across the system.
