Bespoke Solutions
COMPACT INTEGRATION AND CUSTOMIZED FORM FACTOR
Getting rid of big cabinets for the electronics and integrating all the servo drives inside the robotic joints requires that the electronic designs are optimized to adapt to the specific form of the joints. Ingenia is used to designing hollow-shaft circular servo drives enabling miniature sizes and maximum flatness. This high level of compactness allows multi-axis robots to be modular, more efficient and with minimum wiring, while at the same time keeping heat dissipation under control.
BEST-IN-CLASS EMC AND EMI PERFORMANCE
Our circular servo drives are designed using a wide range of mechanisms to provide our customers with best-in-class EMC and EMI performance. This includes the use of dedicated filtering or faraday cages in the servo drive’s most sensitive areas.
ETHERCAT & CANOPEN
For centralized and distributed motion control systems the network efficiency, determinism and synchronism are crucial. EtherCAT and CANopen communication protocols with optimized latency come as standard on Ingenia servo drives

Performance Matters
MINIMUM STANDBY POWER CONSUMPTION & HIGHEST EFFICIENCY
Our circular servo drives have been optimized to consume down to < 1 W power when in standby operation, so they won’t generate unnecessary heat that could be difficult to dissipate and dangerous for people interacting with the robot. We have combined the latest technologies in heat transfer simulation, hardware design and control algorithms, to design servo drives that are up to 99% efficient.
RESPONSIVE CONTROL WITH SERVO LOOPS UP TO 50 kHZ
Our control schemes are ready to be adapted for each application needs. Fast update rates, high control bandwidth, and an outstanding precision are common features shared in all our circular designs.
ULTRA LOW LATENCY
In robotics applications, the movements consigned by the master controller must be instantly replicated in the individual axis avoiding any potential lag in the system. Our servo drives minimize this effect by offering the lowest latency possible in EtherCAT communications thus enabling precise motion control and maximum overall system responsiveness.

Safety First
USER-SAFE SERVO DRIVES
Safety requirements in collaborative robotic projects must be ensured under normal and/or undisturbed conditions and maintained in case of abnormal conditions, requiring servo drives to be designed in such a way that faults, failures, and external influences do not result in cases of undetected loss of safety
STO SIL3 PLE – FUNCTIONAL SAFETY
We protect our electronics implementing the required functional safety mechanisms in each application. STO (Safe Torque Off) has been successfully implemented and formally certified by TÜV in some of our commercially available off-the-shelf products.

Maximum Flexibility
OPEN MICROPROCESSOR FOR EMBEDDING CUSTOMIZED ALGORITHMS
Our customer’s know-how is important for us, and that’s why we can offer an open space in our microprocessors for embedding custom algorithms developed by the customers. These algorithms could be as simple as a specific PID or as complex as vibration, cogging, damping compensation or gain scheduling.
ENHANCED COMPATIBILITY
Our servo drives are designed to interface a wide range of sensors, grippers, cameras and other peripherals often used in robotics, through widely used industrial protocols like SPI, BISS-C, SSI or others.

A refined process that works
2. Technical Proposal
Our team will thoroughly analyse every detail regarding the system you have in your mind to give you the solution you were looking for.
3. Mechanical Proposal
A digital model of the drive is shared with the customer and improved until all parties agree on the feasibility of the design.
4. Agile Development
During the development process, we provide early and continuous deliveries to the customer to keep the customer informed throughout the evolution of the project.
5. Test & Validation
On the technical verification, we focus on testing deeply and independently the modules and components that are specified in the design.
6. Quality Manufacturing
From start to finish, the manufacturing and engineering teams at Ingenia work closely together during every single project.
