Information
ARGON – The world’s first open-source servo controller. ARGON drives 97% of industrial servo motors in the power range from 50 to 1500 watts, making it the most versatile servo drive in existence.
To make it even better, the device firmware source code has been released for download under the APACHE licence. From a hardware perspective, Argon offers phenomenal flexibility and reusability of the device while maintaining uncompromising ruggedness.
