Xponential 2016 show will feature ultra-high current, ultra-small servodrives

Elmo Motion Control USA in Nashua, N.H. says it will introduce its new world-class motion controller and exhibit intelligent servodrives with advanced networking at XPONENTIAL 2016, the premier unmanned systems exhibition sponsored by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International.

At last year's show, Elmo showed this annular shaped board that goes into an Israeli missile. It contains four axes of servo controllers with each axis capable of driving 16 kW. The tiny board on the business card is called the Gold Bee and is billed as the most powerful servocontroller of its size, handling 4 kW. It has a sample time of as low as 50 µsec for current, velocity, and position loops.

It has a sample time of as low as 50 µsec for current, velocity, and position loops.

This year, Elmo Motion Control will highlight three main products, The Gold Bee, Gold Eagle500 and the Gold Lion.

The Gold Bee is Elmo’s smallest servo drive with a high 4 kW power density. The Gold Eagle 500 is Elmo’s newest product being shown which can offer up to 36 kW (500 A continuous at 85 Vdc).

The Gold Lion, Elmo’s multi-axis motion controller, provides simple point-to-point to complete multi-axis coordinated/synchronized motion with the use of CANopen or EtherCAT communications and uses C, C++, Microsoft .NET, IEC 61131-3 (PLCopen) to program through the Elmo EAS2 programming software tool.
