Puck®

Barrett Technology, LLC introduced the Puck motor controller family as part of its work on compact actuation and control hardware for robotic systems. The Puck was designed for OEM and research uses, combining motor control, sensing, and network communication in a small module that could be integrated into larger robot assemblies.

Over time, Barrett expanded the Puck line to support higher current and higher payload applications, while keeping the same general architecture of onboard encoder feedback, dual current sensing, CANopen communication, and daisy-chain wiring. It became a common building block in Barrett’s own robotic platforms and in third-party systems that needed distributed motor control.
