Celera Motion, a enterprise unit of Novanta, just lately launched its Everest S servo drive. The firm mentioned it’s about 30% smaller than its predecessor and that the EtherCAT and CANopen variations ship bus latency lowered to 1 cycle.
Designed with 3 kW of energy and a beginning weight of simply 18 grams, the Everest S is designed for purposes akin to surgical robots, exoskeletons, collaborative robots, legged robots and autonomous cell robots.
The Everest S contains all of the options of different Everest servo drives plus Dual BiSS-C suggestions assist. Celera Motion mentioned it combines 16-bit differential present and 4 configurable ranges.
“We’re excited to introduce the Everest S to meet the growing demand for smaller, faster servo drives that provide more space for applications and even better performance,” mentioned Marc Vila, Director of Strategy & Business Development for Celera Motion. “Our goal is to give product designers as much freedom and flexibility as possible, and the Everest S delivers that and more.”
Celera Motion mentioned the Everest S affords:
- An optimized {hardware} structure that enables for high-speed communication protocols with minimal latency
- A present loop operating at 50 kHz and a velocity loop at 25 kHz
- An ultra-compact design with a low profile and a light-weight design
- Multiple integration choices and energy administration
- Its newest motion-control software program with a user-friendly configuration wizard and diagnostics
Celera Motion mentioned high-speed SPI bus communication is obtainable for optimized EtherCAT/CANopen multi-axis architectures. Everest S additionally has been designed to fulfill industrial useful security requirements to make sure steady secure operation.
Everest S is the most recent model of Summit Servo Drives Series. Others embrace the Capitan Series and the Denali Series.
In 2021, Novanta acquired buying Schneider Electric Motion USA for $115 million and ATI Industrial Automation for $172 million. After formally buying Schneider Electric Motion, Novanta renamed the corporate Novanta IMS.
