Performance. Control. Ecosystem.

The Kraken X60, powered by Talon FX™ uses the latest BLDC motor control technology from CTR Electronics. Since the Talon FX™ fully integrates with the rest of the CTRE software and hardware ecosystem, you’ll have a suite of world class tools to maximize your robot’s potential.

• “All Match” Performance: High efficiency design reduces heat, provides more power and enables extended run-times under load while maintaining performance.
• Integrated Motor/Controller Package: Increases reliability and robustness by reducing failure modes.
• Built-in High Resolution Encoder: Not only provides feedback but allows for CTRE’s full set of on-board motion control modes including Position, Velocity, MotionMagic, MotionMagic Velocity.
• Imported from Detroit: Every single Talon FX™ PCB assembly is built on the electronics production line at the CTR Electronics HQ in Macomb, MI.
• Automated Assembly Line: CTR Electronics added an automated robotic assembly line at their HQ. This line will be used for final integration of the Talon FX™ and Kraken X60, ensuring quality and consistency during critical steps in the manufacturing process.
• 100% QA Tested: Furthermore, 100% of these units go through final QA testing and validation in Michigan before being shipped to customers.
