High precision force control servo drives from Elmo

The continuous technological improvements of SMD (Surface Mount Devices) sets new challenges for Pick & Place machine builders. The demand for smaller components has become critical, requiring machines with very high accurate placement and very high throughput. Elmo's offering for pick & place machinery takes care of all the critical tasks of delivering fast throughput, high accuracy and high precision control to the mounting force of the placed components.

Elmo's Gold Twitter NANO servo drive is well suited for high-end machines. By using an excellent current loop dynamic range, the Gold Twitter enables a current dynamic range of the force control. The very fast vertical head units are in motion and at the same time allows for precise control at a very low current that is needed for low force control.

Paolo Serra, Sales Director Italy, Elmo Motion Control, comments: "Due to its NANO size, featherweight, high output power, compactness, advanced servo capabilities, and the "highest intelligence', the Gold Twitter meets extremely high throughput challenges becoming the perfect solution for machines that require precise control force and advanced servo capabilities."

The Gold Twitter NANO servo drive is the smallest and newest member to the Gold line, weighing just 0.77g; it is less than 0.82 inch3 in volume, and delivers ultra-high current of 50A/100V DC.
