Celera Motion, an award-winning enterprise unit of Novanta Inc., at the moment introduced the launch the corporate’s smallest servo drives but.
Named the Denali Series, the brand new compact, ultra-fast servo drives are created for quite a lot of service robots, surgical robots, industrial grippers and lab automation functions. Denali is the newest addition to Celera Motion’s line of premium-performance Ingenia servo drives.
“Robotics is a very competitive market, evolving rapidly and requiring best-in-class servo drive technology,” Marc Vila, Business Director for Servo Drives, mentioned. “Application-focused servo drives like Denali, where we have included features specifically required for the advanced robotic market segment, dramatically help engineers to accelerate their designs, be more competitive and keep the focus on their core business.”
Denali affords an enhanced {hardware} structure in addition to optimized energy administration, with a minimal standby energy consumption of all the way down to 1.2 W. The servo drives work within the 250 W energy vary and are designed for surgical robotics, end-effectors, haptic gadgets, small joints and different compact robotics functions.
The collection options two variations:
- The Denali XCR, a miniature, ready-to-use model, that permits fast set up and system commissioning.
- The Denali NET, an ultra-compact, high-power density model. The pluggable design is perfect for a provider board, with single or multi-axis integration.
Both variations can be found with EtherCAT and CANopen communication protocols, specifically optimized for demanding multi-axis functions. Denali helps EtherCAT with a bus latency all the way down to 1 cycle. This improves the cost-efficiency of embedding a number of axes right into a single PCB.
Among its key options:
- Compact and miniature; the world’s smallest servo drives, weighing solely 8g
- Dual loop help for unparalleled precision
- Extremely quick servo loops for clean operation
- PWM frequency as much as 150 kHz for low inductance motors
- High effectivity and low standby energy consumption (as much as 99% effectivity)
- Cost-optimized (single PCB) for distributed-centralized multi-axis configurations.
The Denali collection affords variations that help a number of security options for high-performance robotic functions the place security is paramount. The Denali Series is the newest model of Ingenia’s Summit Servo Drives Series. Others embody the Capitan Series and the Everest S Series.
