Elmo Introduces firmware release for Gold Maestro Motion Controller Version 1.1.2.0

Full Delta Robot Support, Enhanced Error Correction Support and Superimposed Motion are now an integrated part of the Gold Maestro Version 1.1.2.0

Petach Tikva, ISRAEL – Elmo Motion Control, a leading provider of advanced and cost-effective motion control solutions, announced today the firmware release for Gold Maestro Motion Controller Version 1.1.2.0, including a range of powerful new features that make complex motion tasks easier to program and faster to implement.

Elmo’s Gold Maestro (G-MAS) is an advanced, fast, precise, user-friendly and cost-effective distributed networking motion controller that leads the market. According to Benjamin Spitzer, Product Manager, “The Elmo team has implemented a number of new and advanced features into the Gold Maestro that enhance the functionality of the updated version, maintaining G-MAS as the preferred networking motion controller across all industries.”

The Gold Maestro now offers full Delta Robot Support, including Linear, Circle, Polynomial, Table Spline and Table PVT. Simply define the Delta robot part lengths, and the machine is ready to run.

Enhanced Error Correction Support is another new feature of the updated Gold Maestro Motion Controller, enabling position correction of both single and multi-axis positions in real time, based on correction data. Superimposed management of error correction is fully supported. In addition, the feature supports 1D, 2D and 3D error correction.

The Gold Maestro enables Flying Vision™ with Superimposed Motions (that is, adding another profiler on top of an ongoing motion in real time), significantly improving machine throughput. Flying Vision™ is used mainly when the exact end position of a motion is unknown and needs to change during the motion, without crossing the initial location. With this functionality, the User can change the target position without changing the current Function Block. Elmo’s Flying Vision™ enables increased accuracy and motion stability, while reducing process time, with potentially improved speed of 30% or more.
