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.

On the left, Autostore’s ASRS, and on the right, Ocado’s ASRS. | Source: Autostore, Ocado Yesterday, the UK High Court ruled that Autostore’s patents, which have been the subject of a patent infringement case against Ocado , were invalid, and that Ocado did not infringe upon them. Both Autostore and Ocado operate automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) that operate on similar principles. Autostore filed the lawsuit in October 2020, when it asserted that Ocado infringed upon six of its patents. The European Patent Office invalidated two of these patents before judgment was made on the case, and two other patents were withdrawn by Autostore before the hearing started.  Judge Hacon invalidated the remaining two patents because AutoStore had disclosed its technology publically in a business deal with the Central Bank of Russia before the company filed its patents. Halcon ruled that even if the patents were valid, the Ocado Smart Platform (OSP) did not infringe on the...
