Elmo Motion Control Achieves Functional Safety Certification for Titanium Line of Servo Drives

Elmo Motion Control's Significant Milestone in Safety Certification

Elmo Motion Control, a prominent name in high-performance motion control solutions, has made a significant advancement by securing Functional Safety certification for its Titanium line of servo drives. This achievement not only underscores Elmo's commitment to safety but also highlights its leadership in the field of advanced motion control technology.

The completion of this certification is a landmark for Elmo's next-generation servo drives, demonstrating the company's dedication to enhancing safety in motion control applications. Ronen Boneh, CEO of Elmo Motion Control, stated, "Completing Functional Safety certification across our Titanium servo-drive line reinforces Elmo's position at the forefront of advanced motion safety."

Elmo has been a pioneer in certified safety technology for over six years, allowing the company to bring extensive experience and expertise to the development of integrated Functional Safety solutions. This is particularly critical as safety has evolved from a secondary consideration to a fundamental component of servo-drive architecture.

The Titanium line, recognized for its exceptional power density and compact design, enables machine builders to create high-performing machines that are not only smaller but smarter and safer. This certification applies to both industrial systems and those operating in harsher environments, offering flexibility for machine builders and system designers.

Features of the Titanium Servo Drives

The Titanium servo drives incorporate a robust Functional Safety architecture with 20 different Safety Functions and can support safety levels as high as SIL 3 (EN 61508), PL e, CAT4 (EN ISO 13849), and FSoE (IEC 61784-3). This comprehensive safety framework meets the demanding requirements of advanced industrial machinery and motion applications.

1. Industrial Environment: The Titanium product line boasts unparalleled performance and flexibility through its rigorous compliance with global industry standards.
- Titanium Castanet / Titanium Solo Castanet: A compact dual-axis servo drive boasting up to 1.2 kW per axis and 2.4 kW total.
- Titanium Harmonica: A high-performance dual-axis servo drive with the capability to deliver up to 5 kW total.

2. Harsh Operating Conditions: The Titanium servo drives designed for extreme environments ensure reliable motion control even under the most challenging circumstances.
- Titanium Lizard / Titanium Solo Lizard: Engineered for demanding settings, these drives offer robust performance with up to 2.4 kW.
- Titanium Falcon: Delivers exceptional performance suitable for varied harsh conditions with up to 5 kW.

This innovation positions Elmo as a leading provider of highly integrated safety solutions, spanning a spectrum of applications from compact industrial designs to rugged solutions suited for extreme environments.

Cutting-Edge Technology

The Titanium line isn't merely about safety; it also integrates GaN (Gallium Nitride) power switching technology. This technology enhances efficiency and performance, allowing for ultra-fast switching and the capability to operate within significantly smaller packages. The integration of advanced networking features, a high-performance multi-core processor, and compact architectures, represent the future of servo-drive technology.

Elmo Motion Control stands out by offering an expansive range of Functional Safety connectivity options. These features, including hardwired safe torque off (STO) and configurable Safe I/O, help streamline system designs while reducing the need for external safety components, ultimately resulting in smaller and more efficient systems.

With the certification of the Titanium line, Elmo reinforces its commitment to empowering machine builders with cutting-edge motion control technology that marries performance, compactness, intelligence, and safety all within one platform. As the demand for Robotics, industrial automation, and autonomous systems rises, the Titanium line stands ready to meet these challenges effectively.

Looking ahead, Elmo is set to enrich the Titanium portfolio with an array of AC and DC drives covering a broad spectrum of voltages, currents, and powers tailored for both single-axis and multi-axis applications. The forthcoming products, anticipated for launch in 2027, promise to further advance the capabilities within this esteemed line of servo drives.
