en.Wedoany.com Reported - Elmo US has launched new motion controllers and servo drives designed for harsh environments, engineered to withstand extreme conditions such as temperature, altitude, seawater depth, humidity, and vibration. These products will be showcased at Automate 2026 (Booth S-3601), held from June 22 to 25, 2026, in Chicago.

The newly released products expand Elmo's Platinum series and introduce the all-new Titanium series. The Titanium series is designed for compact motion systems, integrating multi-axis configurations, intelligent control, and functional safety features. By implementing safety functions at the drive level, these new products help reduce the need for external safety hardware and wiring.

Models to be showcased at Automate include: the Titanium Castanet servo drive, a compact dual-axis servo drive with functional safety (certification pending); the Titanium Harmonica servo drive, rated at 50A/100V and 35A/200V, featuring a dual-axis design with functional safety (certification pending); the Titanium Maestro motion controller, a multi-axis controller supporting up to 256 axes, with 16 axes capable of operating at a 100-microsecond EtherCAT cycle time; the Platinum Jori 30A/60A servo drive, delivering continuous power up to 20/40 kW, combining functional safety (certification pending) with silicon carbide power stage technology; and the Platinum Cymbal servo drive, housed in a rugged package with power output up to 17 kW, also featuring functional safety (certification pending).

The Titanium series is designed to support multi-axis configurations in a smaller physical footprint. For example, in some applications, a single Titanium Castanet drive can replace two Elmo Twitter servo drives, reducing overall system size and enabling engineers to achieve synchronized positioning of x/y axes via a single bus, eliminating the need for two separate buses. These servo drives also feature high-performance processors and utilize gallium nitride (GaN) technology to enhance switching efficiency, meeting the demands of motor control applications requiring compact size and integrated intelligence.

Elmo servo drives are widely used in robotic systems and related technologies, including automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), collaborative robots, and exoskeletons. Such applications typically require multiple independently operating servo drives to control motor position, speed, and torque while ensuring synchronized motion across the system. In some systems, different types of servo drives may be needed to match motors of varying sizes, from large motors driving collaborative robot motion to small motors controlling robotic hand components.

To meet these needs, Elmo servo drives feature compact dimensions to reduce overall system footprint while delivering high power density for space-constrained scenarios. They offer up to 17 certified functional safety features, enable high-precision motor control for coordinated motion, and reduce system size while simplifying synchronization through multi-axis capabilities. Additionally, these drives are supplied as standard products, with customization options available, and support production-scale supply for high-volume applications.

Elmo also provides technical support for these servo drives through Elmo Application Studio III (EASIII) and Composer2 software, helping machine designers develop, test, and implement control algorithms.
