Automate 2019 April 8 through 11: See Elmo Motion Control + future of motion control

April 5, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Elmo Motion Control a leading provider of motion control technology, will be showcasing its latest innovation during the 2019 Automate tradeshow from April 8-11, 2019 in Chicago … booth #7729. Amongst Elmo’s state-of-the-art products, visitors will find the award-winning Double Gold Twitter servo drive, the Platinum Maestro multi-axis motion controller, and for the first time the 4-in-1 fully integrated motion control system.

With an insightful look to the future, Elmo has been creating products and solutions for more than 30 years, aiming to answer the ever-growing requirements and demanding applications of Industry 4.0.

The Double Gold Twitter stands out as one of the smallest STO-certified (SIL-3) servo drives in the market, delivering over 10kW of qualitative power, and providing continuous current of up to 160A (80V) and 140A (100V). Thanks to its compact size, this miniature drive can be placed on a moving load, within a motor, or in-between robotic joints, helping engineers to save space, improve machine performance, reduce the amount of cables, and eliminate electrical cabinets, while still delivering unprecedented power capabilities.

The 4-in-1 complete motion control solution is Elmo’s latest innovation to answer the market requirement for a highly integrated all in one solution taking care of both high-power servo capability as well as advanced multi-axis control.

The ultimate servo technology with the best of safety

As safety takes the forefront of many operations, Elmo ensures products comply with the highest possible standards (IEC 61800-5-2 SIL-3, Cat4 PL-e), by integrating safety over EhterCAT – FSoE (Fail/Safe over EtherCAT), and advanced functional safety. Elmo equips manufacturers with top of the line foolproof products that increase their operation’s productivity, lowers operational expenses, and improves safety methods to create truly smart and efficient operations.

Elmo Motion Control (Elmo) designs, produces and implements comprehensive, field-proven motion control solutions that helps clients discover their machine’s potential. The company’s R&D department combines intelligent motion control technologies, real-time programming and control algorithms with advanced digital hardware to enable leaner, more flexible machines. Controlled by the Elmo application studio (EAS)—a software environment that cuts integration time and maintenance costs—Elmo’s servo drives and multi-axes motion controllers minimize a machine’s footprint and cabling, improve throughput, and give original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) a competitive edge. Founded in 1988, the company is headquartered in Israel, employs more than 300 staff worldwide, and has a dedicated presence in the United States, China, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Korea, Poland and the United Kingdom.

Drive and logic in new mini servo drive from Elmo Motion Control use single power source

January 22, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Elmo Motion Control (Elmo) now offers a new enhanced Gold-Twitter version with single source up to 95 Vdc. This allows users to use a single source power for both the drive and logic power.

As part of its continuous engineering efforts, the Elmo R&D team was able to integrate a higher voltage internal supply into the ultra-small Gold Twitter. Gold Twitter 80-V and 100-V versions denoted with a new P/N suffix can now operate from a single power supply. VL (Control Supply) and VP+ (Power Supply) operating from a single source is a benefit for machine builders. The single control supply topology contributes to lower EMI, and reduced sensitivity to poor external wiring.

The ultra-small, extreme power density Gold Twitter servo drive will be available with an enhanced version, including a capability to be powered from single power source.

Despite the changes the new enhanced version will be completely F3 compliant. The strict compliance with the F3 rules (Fit, Form, and Function) ensures transparent usage for customers that currently use G-TWI. For ordering the single power supply G-TWI, add the suffix S to the part number …G-TWIR80/80EES, for example. For more information, visit this deep link on elmomc.com.
