For the manufacturers of military and EEC (extreme environmental conditions) applications, Elmo provides a solution which meets the demands of battlefield applications and is ready for the extreme. ExtrIQ product line is the result of combining Elmo’s world class servo performance, high eﬃciency and ultra-small size and weight with the ability to withstand extreme environmental conditions. Field proven for over 15 years, ExtrIQ products are driving applications day and night on the ground, in the air, and underwater. The drives meet MIL-Spec standards, as they can withstand mechanical shocks of up to 75G, vibrations of 20Hz-2000Hz (14.6 Grms) and a temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. Rugged Design Elmo’s servo drives are ruggedized to handle extreme temperature (-40 to 70°C), high pressures, severe vibration, heavy shock loads, and contamination, being able to operate under conditions of high humidity, wind and precipitation, and corrosive salt air. Compact and Light Extreme power density, delivering the needed torque while minimizing weight and space claim. Precise and Accurate Motion Capable of delivering utmost precision, repeatability and speed control while operating under extreme conditions. High Current Ultra-high current/low voltage servo drives generate up to 650A of continuous current, allowing to respond to feedback from high-resolution encoders. Feedback Sensors Support The drives support a wide range of feedback devices, from digital to analog, incremental to absolute, and so would be able to work with any encoder type the design team might adopt in the future. Excellent Connectivity The drives support EtherCAT or CANopen (CAN or RS232; optional RS422) fieldbus networking for high-speed, deterministic communications between the drive and the controller. Costs Reduction Compact drives enable the replacement of large, heavy and complicated mechanical control assemblies with electrometrical technology, achieving outstanding motion control in harsh environment conditions while dramatically reducing costs. Recommended Elmo Products for Harsh Environment While all of Elmo’s ExtrIQ drives can handle the rigors of extreme environments applications, the Hornet is the most popular choice for this industry for its power and footprint. Case Studies High Power and Performance in Extreme Conditions for Radio-Controlled Robot Superior motion control on the battlefield isn’t a perk—it can save lives. So, when an unmanned vehicle manufacturer developed a remote-controlled, all-terrain robot for military applications, they turned to Elmo’s Gold Bee servo drives for high-performance, reliable motion control tuned to navigate even the toughest environments.
