MODUSYSTEMS AI

Describe the task. Get a sized, priced motion system back.

ModuSystems AI is the Engineering Decision Engine behind every LYNX actuator and AXYS controller we sell. Describe what you’re automating — payload, travel, speed, how many axes — and it selects the actuators, checks torque margin and inertia on real motor curves, assembles a 3D model, picks the controller, and returns a validated quote. In minutes, with the math shown, free.

Launch ModuSystems AI

What used to take a sales engineer days of catalog cross-referencing now takes a sentence and a click. But the AI is only the front door. What happens next depends on how you want to build.

What you can do in it

Size a single axis. Enter payload, travel, and speed; get the actuator, the motor, the torque margin, and the price. Works for belt, lead-screw, and ball-screw axes — see the vertical Z-axis sizing guide for how it handles gravity loads and lead selection.

Configure a multi-axis gantry. XY, XYZ, dual-drive XX’Y gantries with synchronized motors — the engine sizes each axis for the mass of the axes riding on it. Start with the pick-and-place gantry sizing guide  or the dual-drive gantry guide.

Compare stepper and servo. Both motor types sized from the same spec, side by side, with the price delta per axis — the stepper vs. servo comparison  explains the three numbers that decide.

Design a liquid-handling robot. Lay out the deck, paint the wells, build the pipetting protocol, and the engine turns it into a motion program that runs in simulation and on the controller. See liquid-handling robot design.

Get an honest answer when the catalog stops. 1,880 mm of travel, a 25 kg Z, an incubator environment — the engine names the closest part, quantifies the gap, and routes you to an engineer with the sizing already done. That’s the custom and engineered motion systems  path.

Export and order. STEP models, a BOM, motion code in Python, G-code, or C++, and a quote you can turn into a purchase order through the order portal.

Built on the hardware we ship

Every recommendation is a real part number. The engine’s catalog is the ModuLYNX platform — LYNX belt actuators (SBA45, SBA60, SBA90), LSA lead-screw actuators, BSA ball-screw actuators, LRA linear-rotary actuators, DBA dual-carriage actuators , and AXYS BLC motion controllers  — with list prices, lead times, and STEP files on every part. Browse the full actuator and controller catalog .

Make-it-Work Automation

Every automation project follows the same path:

DESIGN → SELECT → SOURCE → FABRICATE → ASSEMBLE → COMMISSION → TRAIN

ModuSystems AI handles design and select in seconds — that’s the part the engine is built for. Where ModuSystems fits into the remaining five steps is your call. We support three paths.

Build-it Yourself

Buy ModuSystems components and systems. Build it yourself. Lowest hardware cost; longest development timeline; limited systems-level support. Ideal for experienced engineering teams that want full control over integration. ModuSystems AI generates your BOM, CAD files, and motion code — your team takes it from there.

Build-it With You

Buy ModuSystems components and systems. We help you build it. Lowest overall implementation cost; fastest time to market; hands-on training during implementation. ModuSystems AI accelerates the design conversation — by the time we sit down together, the system architecture is already validated.

Build-it For You

ModuSystems designs, builds, delivers, and helps program your automation system. Higher upfront investment; reduced time to deployment; fully trained users at delivery; long-term maintenance and support available. The AI engine starts the conversation; our engineers finish it.
