Celera Motion Everest S servo drive

Celera Motion, a business unit of Novanta, recently introduced its Everest S servo drive. The company said it’s about 30% smaller than its predecessor and that the EtherCAT and CANopen versions deliver bus latency reduced to 1 cycle.

Designed with 3 kW of power and a starting weight of just 18 grams, the Everest S is designed for applications such as surgical robots, exoskeletons, collaborative robots, legged robots and autonomous mobile robots.

The Everest S includes all the features of other Everest servo drives plus Dual BiSS-C feedback support. Celera Motion said it combines 16-bit differential current and four configurable ranges.

“We’re excited to introduce the Everest S to meet the growing demand for smaller, faster servo drives that provide more space for applications and even better performance,” said Marc Vila, Director of Strategy & Business Development for Celera Motion. “Our goal is to give product designers as much freedom and flexibility as possible, and the Everest S delivers that and more.”

Celera Motion said the Everest S offers:

  • An optimized hardware architecture that allows for high-speed communication protocols with minimum latency
  • A current loop running at 50 kHz and a velocity loop at 25 kHz
  • An ultra-compact design with a low profile and a lightweight design
  • Multiple integration options and power management
  • Its latest motion-control software with a user-friendly configuration wizard and diagnostics

Celera Motion said high-speed SPI bus communication is available for optimized EtherCAT/CANopen multi-axis architectures. Everest S also has been designed to meet industrial functional safety standards to ensure continuous safe operation.

Everest S is the latest version of Summit Servo Drives Series. Others include the Capitan Series and the Denali Series.

In 2021, Novanta acquired acquiring Schneider Electric Motion USA for $115 million and ATI Industrial Automation for $172 million. After officially acquiring Schneider Electric Motion, Novanta renamed the company Novanta IMS.

Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Autocado, an avocado processing cobotic prototype that cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand mashed to create the restaurant’s famous guacamole. The prototype, developed in collaboration with Vebu , is currently being tested at the Chipotle Cultivate Center in Irvine , California.  How Autocado works  A team member loads Autocado with a full case of ripe avocados and selects the size setting. Autocado can hold up to 25 lbs. of avocados at once. One at a time, avocados are vertically oriented, then transferred to the processing device. The avocados are sliced in half. Their cores and skin are automatically removed, and the waste is discarded.  The fruit is safely collected in a stainless-steel bowl at the bottom of the device.  A team member removes the bowl of avocado fruit and moves it to the counter where they add additional ingredients and hand mash the avocados to make Chipotle’s signature guacamole.  How the Autocado idea s

Intrinsic tested its latest platform and Flowstate with Comau , an Italian-based robot manufacturer and global systems integrator. Comau has been working with Intrinsic for several years now to validate Intrinsic’s platform technology and developer product, Flowstate, through real-world use cases.  Flowstate, announced earlier this year in May , is a robotic software development platform. It’s Intrinsic’s first developer product built on the Intrinsic platform. Comau was also introduced as the company’s first industry partner in May.  The Intrinsic Flowstate software  adds a layer of abstraction to traditional robotic software tools with the goal of reducing the development skillset required while making it easier than ever before to program a robot in simulation. “Partnering with Comau over the years has brought our team a tremendous amount of expertise, knowledge, and real-world use cases to focus our efforts on. We’re excited for what’s next and what it will mean to the solutio
