Our comprehensive range of integrated motion control solutions combines motors, controllers, and encoders into compact, high-performance packages. Designed to streamline engineering time and reduce panel space, these systems deliver exceptional precision, flexibility, and reliability for demanding automation challenges.
Whether you need to orchestrate complex multi-axis synchronised movement or require precise velocity and positioning in a tight footprint, our product family offers seamless integration and open architecture compatibility to keep your projects moving forward.
Specifications (array):
LabelValue

EtherCAT, CANopen, Modbus, EtherNet/IP
Motor types
Stepper (with integrated controller), Brushless DC (BLDC), Hybrid stepper
Control method
Field-oriented control (FOC), closed-loop
Integration
Motor, drive and controller combined in a single housing
Support URL: worth checking whether Nanotec has a UK distributor page or product family page you want to link to — automation.co.uk's Nanotec collections (Brushless DC, Stepper, Hybrid Stepper) suggest it might make more sense to link to your own /products?category=nanotec filtered grid instead of an external manufacturer URL, since Nanotec doesn't have a single unified "family" page the way ABB does per range.
Do you want to make the one-family-vs-split call now, or add this as a single umbrella family today and revisit splitting later if it turns out unwieldy?
yes nanotec tends to split between integrated systems and separate systems
Reorganized product structure into integrated and standalone categories
Reorganized product structure into integrated and standalone categories
That clarifies it — the copy you gave me is specifically about the integrated systems (it says outright: "combining the motor, drive, and controller into a single housing"). So that text maps to one family, and we need separate copy for the other.
Uses the text you already gave me, unchanged from the draft above.
Title: Nanotec Integrated Motion Systems
Slug: nanotec-integrated-systems
Manufacturer: Nanotec
Variants: the automation.co.uk collections that match — Brushless DC Motors with Controller, Stepper Motors with Controller, Hybrid Stepper Motors (all three have "with Controller" in the name, so they're the integrated line)
This needs its own description — the text you gave me doesn't cover this side. Do you have similar source copy for the standalone/separate range (motors sold without an integrated controller, paired with an external drive), or should I draft something from scratch based on what a typical Nanotec separate-systems pitch would cover (e.g. flexibility to pair any compatible drive, lower cost per axis for simple applications, standard motor sizes)?
A couple of things I need before I draft this properly:
Once I know what's actually in the catalogue for that side, I can either pull real Nanotec source copy (if there's a manufacturer or legacy page for it) or draft honest, accurate copy rather than guessing at capabilities that might not match what you actually stock.
yes you only had the integrated nanotec products, ryan will need to add the standalone later such as the n6 and so text here for standalone High-Performance Standalone Motor Controllers & Drives When an application requires separating the control intelligence from the motor—whether for heat management, space constraints at the axis, or centralized panel layouts—our standalone motor controllers provide the ultimate combination of compact power and fieldbus flexibility. Engineered to drive both stepper (up to NEMA 34) and brushless DC (BLDC) motors seamlessly, these high-performance drives bring advanced closed-loop performance and versatile industrial networking directly to your control cabinet.

Good — that's a clean, genuinely distinct pitch from the integrated range (heat management, panel layout, IP65+ axis-side motors — none of that applies once the drive's built into the motor). Drafted below in the same structure as the others.
Title: Nanotec Standalone Motor Controllers & Drives
Slug: nanotec-standalone-drives
Manufacturer: Nanotec
Description (richText):
When an application requires separating the control intelligence from the motor — whether for heat management, space constraints at the axis, or centralised panel layouts — our standalone motor controllers combine compact power with fieldbus flexibility.
Engineered to drive both stepper (up to NEMA 34) and brushless DC (BLDC) motors seamlessly, these high-performance drives bring advanced closed-loop performance and versatile industrial networking directly to your control cabinet.
Specifications (array):
LabelValue

Control method
Field-oriented control (FOC), sinusoidal commutation
Fieldbus / networks
EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU (RS485)
Safety
Safe Torque Off (STO) on select variants
Feedback support
Hall sensors, incremental QEI, absolute SSI encoders
Variants: none yet — Ryan needs to add the standalone products (N6 etc.) to Payload first. Once they're in as Products, come back and link them here.
One thing worth flagging: since this family's variants don't exist in Payload yet, you could either save it now as a draft (inactive) and finish linking variants once Ryan's added the products, or hold off creating the record entirely until the products exist so you're not maintaining an empty/half-built family page in the meantime. Which do you prefer?
save it as a draft for later
Good — that keeps the copy locked in ready to go without a live, empty page sitting on the site in the meantime.
To do that in the admin: fill in Title, Slug, Manufacturer, and the Description/Specifications as drafted above, leave Variants empty, and make sure the active toggle is switched off before you hit Save. That way it exists as a draft record but won't render on the live family listing or be reachable at /products/families/nanotec-standalone-drives until Ryan's added the N6 and the other standalone products and you flip it active.
So to recap where all four families now stand:
FamilyStatus
MicroFlex e190
Variants linked, hero image set, ready to save & publish
MotiFlex e180
Copy drafted, not yet entered
AC500-eCo V3
Copy drafted, not yet entered
Nanotec Integrated Motion Systems
Copy drafted, not yet entered
Nanotec Standalone Motor Controllers & Drives
Copy drafted, save as draft/inactive — variants pending Ryan
Want me to keep going and check smsmachines.co.uk for the ACS180/ACS380/ACS880 (Machinery Drives) family while you're working through entering these four, since that's the other family candidate that came up earlier?
