Duet 3 Mainboard 6XD
Description
An advanced, high-power controller designed for machines that require external stepper or servo drivers. The Duet 3 Mainboard 6XD provides support for six external stepper/servo motor drivers, as well as a wide range of outputs and I/O similar to the Duet 3 Mainboard 6HC. Several of the I/O ports are opto-isolated, making integration with PLCs and other industrial automation systems straightforward and reliable.
The Duet 3 family is engineered to offer maximum flexibility for machine design, providing powerful mainboards, expansion boards, tool boards, and custom modules. This advanced hardware is powered by our innovative RepRapFirmware 3, running directly on the Duet 3 Mainboard, with optional DuetSoftwareFramework support when connected to a Single Board Computer.
This makes the Duet 3 6XD an ideal solution for industrial-grade motion control, high-performance CNC machines, robotics projects, custom manufacturing systems, and large-format 3D printers.
