Next-gen motion controller delivers 100µs EtherCat cycles for 16 axes
22 April 2025 
Elmo Motion Control, the Israeli controls developer owned by Bosch Rexroth, has announced a next-generation multi-axis motion controller that, it says, redefines motion control, achieving an “industry-leading” 100µs EtherCat cycle time for 16 axes. It claims that the Titanium Maestro controller sets a new standard in performance.
The controller is designed for the most demanding applications consisting of up to 256 axes. It offers real-time EtherCat communications and has been designed to meet the demands of machine-builders requiring high performance, speed, accuracy and robustness.
A quad-core 1.9GHz CPU, with dedicated cores for real-time tasks, powers the fanless, passively cooled controller. With graphical capabilities, C++ and Python programming, and real-time programming support, the controller “stands in a league of its own”, according to Elmo, empowering next-generation motion control solutions. ‘Software in the Loop’ (SIL) support further streamlines development and accelerates validation of complex automation systems.
Rami Chanan, Elmo’s vice-president of sales and marketing says that the controller “enhances overall system performance and flexibility, helping our customers develop more efficient and competitive motion solutions. The Titanium Maestro continues our focus on innovation and delivering practical value to designers and integrators of high-performance motion machines across various industries.”
Elmo Motion Control employs more than 350 people at its headquarters in Israel and at offices in the US, China, Germany, Italy, Korea, Singapore, and an additional manufacturing facility in Poland. Bosch Rexroth acquired the business in 2022.
