Key highlights
HCU is a safe and user friendly way to control and actuate your SMA actuators such as Nimesis Triggy or EBAD Frangibolt.
Built upon the experience with SMA actuators, it allows to set robust safety barriers to protect the actuators and hardware but achieve maximal performance of the actuators at the same time.
Device is compact and higly mobile and is used without personal computer.
