Copley Controls Releases High-Power Nano Servo Drives For Mobile Robotics
Copley Controls, a global leader in the motion control industry, announces the release of its Nano High Power (Nano HP) and Nano Plus High Power (Plus-HP) digital servo drives for brush and brushless motors.
Both series expand Copley's compact Nano family and feature redesigned power boards for higher current output, making them ideal for traction motor applications in autonomous mobile robots (AMR), automated guided vehicles (AGV) and other space-limited mobile robotics requiring higher-power embedded modules.
The Nano HP is based on Copley's Nano Standard platform with ARM processor, while the Nano Plus-HP is built on the advanced Nano Plus platform with FPGA-based architecture for enhanced functionalities. Both drives operate from 9 to 90V DC input voltage and deliver up to 140A of continuous current, providing exceptional power density and efficiency. They also support EtherCAT (CoE) and CANopen communication protocols for real-time data exchange, with the Plus-HP supporting additional networking protocol options.
Additional features and specifications include:
-Safe Torque Off (STO) capability with SIL 3, Category 3, PL e conformance.
-One analog input: ±10V, 12-bit (HP) / 16-bit (Plus-HP).
-16-kHz current loop update.
-4-kHz position and velocity loop update.
-Five high-speed digital inputs.
-Four high-speed digital outputs, including brake.
-Multiple encoder interfaces - incremental, absolute, dual feedback and digital halls.
-32-bit floating point filters and multiple advanced filters.
-Frequency analysis tools.
Nano HP and Plus-HP drives are designed to meet the requirements of many mobile robotics applications, AGVs, AMRs and field robotics. Standard modules can be implemented using connectors or by soldering power pins for high load current applications, while the Z-style modules' small form factor facilitates integration with standard connectors and a frame-mounted heat plate.

Featured Product

Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
