- Titanium Castanet replaces two existing drives with a 50% size reduction
- SiC power stage technology improves efficiency in Platinum Jori drives
- EtherCAT cycle times of 100 µs enable high-speed, precise control
- These innovations will help engineers design more efficient, reliable, and safer automation systems, particularly in demanding industrial and mobile robot applications.
Problem Industrial automation systems face increasingly demanding requirements for performance and safety, especially in harsh and extreme environments. Traditional servo drives and motion controllers often struggle to deliver the necessary power density, compactness, and functional safety features required for these applications. This creates challenges for OEMs in terms of system complexity, certification, and overall reliability.
Solution Elmo Motion Control Ltd. has launched an expanded portfolio of servo drives and motion controllers designed to address these challenges. The new offerings, set to be showcased at Automate 2026 in Chicago, include:
### Key Products: - **Titanium Castanet Servo Drive**: A dual-axis drive with functional safety features, housed in a matchbox-sized package. It replaces two Elmo Twitter servo drives, reducing the final implementation size by almost half and simplifying synchronization through a single bus. - **Titanium Harmonica Servo Drive**: An ultra-compact dual-axis drive engineered for maximum power density (up to 50A/100V, 35A/200V) with integrated functional safety. - **Titanium Maestro Motion Controller**: A multi-axis controller supporting up to 256 axes with EtherCAT cycle times of 100 µs, enabling high-speed, precise control. - **Platinum Jori Servo Drives**: Available in 30A and 60A variants, these drives deliver up to 20 kW and 40 kW of continuous power, respectively, with functional safety and silicon carbide (SiC) power stage technology for improved efficiency. - **Platinum Cymbal Servo Drive**: A rugged, high-power drive offering up to 17 kW in a compact footprint, also featuring functional safety.
### Technical Highlights: - **Power Density**: The Titanium line sets new benchmarks for power density, allowing for more compact system designs without sacrificing performance. - **Functional Safety**: Up to 17 certified functional safety features are integrated into the drives, reducing the need for safety cages and simplifying system certification. - **Multi-axis Capabilities**: The new products enable engineers to synchronize multiple axes with fewer components, reducing cabling complexity and improving system reliability. - **Advanced Technologies**: The drives incorporate high-performance processors, gallium nitride (GaN) technology, and SiC power stages to enhance efficiency and performance.
Results Elmo's new offerings provide several tangible benefits for engineers and manufacturers:
- **Reduced System Complexity**: The multi-axis capabilities and integrated safety features simplify system design and reduce the number of components required. - **Improved Performance**: The high power density and advanced technologies enable more efficient and precise control, particularly in demanding applications. - **Enhanced Safety**: The integrated functional safety features help OEMs meet stringent safety standards without additional hardware, reducing costs and certification time. - **Scalability**: The large-scale availability of these drives supports volume production, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from AGVs and AMRs to cobots and exoskeletons.
"We provide a comprehensive servo drive portfolio to meet the specific drive and control needs of our customers," said Elizabeth Victor, Director of Sales at Elmo U.S. "Each of our new products is designed to deliver compact size, high power density, and integrated functional safety, enabling OEMs to build more efficient, reliable, and safer automation systems."
