MPN #: MRCU6AK
The modern factory needs precise motion control for every robot on the line. Without a reliable controller, robots can miss positions, waste time, and cause costly downtime. This problem hurts productivity and raises maintenance costs. The Oriental Motor MRCU Series Robot Controller Unit (6 Axes) solves the issue by giving you a single, compact unit that can drive up to six robot axes with accurate, repeatable motion, while keeping wiring simple and safe.
Imagine a controller that lets you command every joint of a six-axis robot as easily as turning a knob. The Oriental Motor MRCU Series Robot Controller Unit (6 Axes) is that tool. It is built for industrial robots such as SCARA, articulated arms, palletizers and gantry systems. Engineers who struggle with multiple controllers, mismatched interfaces, or unreliable communication will find this unit a clear answer. Its Ethernet/IP network and photocoupler I/O keep signals clean, while the power options fit most plant supplies.
Use the MRCU controller on a pick-and-place line to synchronize wrist rotation and arm extension, on a palletizing robot to handle heavy loads with precise timing, in a CNC-type machine where linear and circular interpolation are required, or in a research lab where you need quick reconfiguration of robot geometry. It works with SCARA, vertical articulated, Cartesian gantry and even polar robots, making it a versatile choice for any six-axis application.

We are retiring PICOPC Products MNHO-073, MNHO-048 and MNHO-043 and they have reached EOL (End Of Life) as we are introducing new products with better technology. We would recommend you to look into MNHO-095. For Untangle, pfSense, OPNsense, Windows 11, Proxmox VE etc. we recommend MNHO-095 whereas for Sophos, Kerio Control and Endian, we would recommend MNHO-069. (A complete list of supported OS can be found in each product's listing)
