Elmo Motion Control Ltd. yesterday launched new servo drives and a new motion controller drives for a wide range of applications in industrial, harsh, and extreme environments. The new products can work across temperature, altitude, sea depth, humidity, vibration, and more.
“Our customers need more than just compact size and power density,” stated Elizabeth Victor, the director of sales at Elmo U.S. “Functional safety is critical for many automation systems and can reduce or even eliminate the need for safety cages. By integrating functional safety into our controllers and servo drives, we enable OEMs to implement safety features at the foundation of their motion subsystem.”
“With our certified offerings, we also help simplify the design and certification of systems that must meet strict functional safety standards,” she added.
Elmo said its latest servo drives and motion controllers set new benchmarks for power density, expand its existing Platinum line, and introduce the Titanium line. The Petach Tikva, Israel-based company claimed that its Titanium line brings new levels of multi-axis compactness, intelligence, and integration. The functionalities implemented at the drive level reduce the need for much of the safety and hardware cabling, it said.

Elmo Motion Control plans to show its technologies in Booth S-3601 at Automate 2026 in Chicago next week, including:
- Titanium Castanet servo drive: This drive provides compact dual-axis capabilities with functional safety in the size of a matchbox.
- Titanium Harmonica servo drive: Elmo said it engineered this ultra-compact dual-axis drive to maximize power density up to 50A/100V, 35A/200V with functional safety.
- Titanium Maestro motion controller: This multi-axis motion controller supports up to 256 axes, with EtherCAT speeds of 100 µs.
- Platinum Jori 30A/60A servo drives: These drives deliver up to 20 / 40 kW of continuous power in a compact package with functional safety. It also introduces SIC (silicon carbide) power stage technology.
- Platinum Cymbal servo drive: This drive comes in a rugged package that provides high power up to 17kW in a compact footprint with functional safety.
Elmo said the new Titanium line simplifies design with multi-axis capabilities. For example, one Titanium Castanet can replace two Elmo Twitter servo drives. The final implementation is almost half the size of two Elmo Twitters, and engineers can synchronize x/y positioning with a single bus rather than having to synchronize two buses.
These servo drives integrate a high-performance processor, GaN (gallium nitride) technology, and other advanced technologies to enhance performance.
Elmo serves a variety of robot form factors
Elmo Motion Control said its servo drives can be used in any robotic systems and special technologies. This includes automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), cobots, and exoskeletons. They often require a multitude of servo drives, used independently, to manage the position, velocity, and torque of motors for synchronized motion of the overall system, noted the company.
Elmo added that the same system may need a variety of servo drives to support different motors. This can include anything from large motors moving an entire cobot to many small motors operating a small robotic hand.
To help engineers achieve this, Elmo said its servo drives deliver:
- Compact servo size to minimize physical footprint with a high power density
- Up to 17 certified functional safety features
- High-precision control to enable accurate, coordinated movement across motors
- Multi-axis capabilities to shrink systems and simplify design and synchronization
- Fast off-the-shelf turnaround with quick customization where needed
- Large-scale availability to support volume production
“We provide a comprehensive servo drive portfolio to meet the specific drive and control needs of our customers,” Victor added. “Each of our product lines delivers a range of capabilities to match varying functionality, safety, and cost requirements.”
Elmo supports its servo drives with the award-winning Elmo Application Studio III (EASIII) and Composer2 to enable machine designers to develop, test, and implement their own control algorithms.
