Elmo unveils new motion controller and servo drives for industrial use
Elmo Motion Control launches new servo drives and motion controller for industrial applications with functional safety features.

Elmo Motion Control Ltd. has launched new servo drives and a motion controller designed for industrial, harsh, and extreme environments. The products can operate across various conditions, including temperature, altitude, sea depth, humidity, and vibration.
Elizabeth Victor, director of sales at Elmo U.S., emphasized the importance of functional safety in automation systems. "Our customers need more than just compact size and power density," she stated. "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." The new products expand Elmo's existing Platinum line and introduce the Titanium line, which sets new benchmarks for power density and multi-axis compactness. The Titanium line simplifies design with integrated functionalities that reduce the need for safety and hardware cabling. Elmo plans to showcase its technologies at Automate 2026 in Chicago, including the new Titanium line, which can replace existing products with a more compact and intelligent design.
For example, one Titanium Castanet can replace two Elmo Twitter servo drives, resulting in a final implementation that is almost half the size of two Elmo Twitters. The servo drives integrate advanced technologies, such as a high-performance processor and GaN (gallium nitride) technology, to enhance performance. They can be used in various robotic systems, including automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), cobots, and exoskeletons.
Elmo supports its servo drives with the award-winning Elmo Application Studio III (EASIII) and Composer2, enabling machine designers to develop, test, and implement their own control algorithms. "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." Why this matters: The introduction of Elmo's new servo drives and motion controller has significant implications for the industrial automation industry.
With the integration of functional safety features, OEMs can design safer and more efficient systems, reducing the need for safety cages and complex hardware cabling. This development is particularly relevant for industries that rely heavily on robotic systems, such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. As the demand for more sophisticated and compact automation solutions grows, Elmo's products are poised to play a key role in shaping the future of industrial automation.
