Ready-to-Use Servo Drive Controller

Solo Guitar, an addition to the SimplIQ core motion control technology, is an integrated solution designed to simply and efficiently connect Elmo's Guitar Servo Drive directly to a motion application. The solution encompasses the Guitar plus a versatile connection interface, which can eliminate or reduce development time and resources when designing a PCB board for a motion control application. As with other Elmo SimplIQ digital products, the Solo Guitar can be easily set up and tuned using Elmo's Composer software tools.

Solo Guitar is a ready-to-use servo drive solution that provides top servo performance, networking and intelligent control capabilities in a high level programming environment. The Solo Guitar offers a miniature space saving answer. The combination of the high power capabilities and programming flexibility with the ability to provide a wide variety of feedbacks and CANOpen networking makes it a highly effective solution.

Solo Guitar highlights include:

• Ready-to-use, no need for PCB design
• Operates from a DC power source in current, velocity, position and advanced position modes, in conjunction with a permanent-magnet synchronous brushless motor, DC brush motor, linear motor or voice coil.
• Delivers up to 4.8kW of continuous power or 5.4kW of peak power in a miniaturized package (46.7mm x 61mm x 80mm or 1.84" x 2.4" x 3.15")
• Can operate as a stand-alone device or as part of a multi-axis system in a distributed configuration on a real-time network.
• Delivers up to 45A of continuous current, and 70A of peak current.
• Supports a wide variety of feedbacks.
• Also available with absolute feedback encoder.
• Functions in a high level programming environment.
• Provides the highest power density incorporated with Elmo's SimplIQ core servo and motion rich capabilities.
• Can be mounted anywhere: in a motor, in a machine, on a load, attached to moving parts, and more.
