Slimline servo is easy to integrate
The Cello digital servo drive is just 1in wide, yet it incorporates all the key features necessary for fast and problem-free integration of motors and drives into machines.
Cello, the latest introduction to Inmoco's Elmo line of SimplIQ digital servo drives, is just 1in wide yet incorporates all the key features necessary for fast and problem-free integration of motors and drives into machines The Cello combines high power density with a wide range of feedback options in a package that also offers CANopen communication and simple setup and tuning using Elmo's Composer software and Interlude Communication API software libraries

Servo actuators have better dynamic response
The hollow shaft design of Inmoco's new Bautz servo linear actuators reduces weight significantly, providing improved dynamic response and enabling travel velocities up to 500mm/s to be achieved.
Designed for use with DC brush, DC brushless and linear motors, in single- or multi-axis applications, the Cello series of servo drives brings higher dynamics and increased precision to a wider range of automated applications.
Rated for 3kW output, the Cello drives offer the OEM unmatched levels of flexibility with an integrated digital motion controller that features a position loop, a velocity loop, a current loop, networking via a CANopen interface and a very wide range of feedback and I/O options.
At the heart of the fully digital Cello - and key to its high performance - is SimplIQ.
This provides enhanced gain scheduling for current and velocity with on the fly adaptation of gains based on speed and load.
The PIP controller for velocity and position provides tools for flexible and easy tuning.
It features advanced position capabilities with electronic cam (ECAM), follower, dual loop (through an additional encoder input) and the interpolated encoder output based on resolver or analogue encoder inputs.
In addition, the Cello, like all Elmo's SimplIQ based products, has programmable optoisolated digital I/Os, PVT and PT for interpolated mode on CANopen (protocol DSP-301 and DSP-402).
The Cello offers OEMs the benefits of a third generation programming structure, with event triggered programming, event capturing interrupts and 32Kbyte of memory storage for user programs.
Using the Composer programming software, drive setup, configuration, tuning and analysis are all performed quickly and easily to aid integration into machines.
Also aiding integration is Elmo's comprehensive Interlude Application API (application programming interface) software libraries.
These are used to achieve fast and simple communication between the user's application and the Elmo servo drive. Request a free brochure from Inmoco ...
