Gold Maestro

Multi-Axis Motion Controller – the Ultimate Solution for Motion Control Networking and EtherCAT systems

Elmo’s Gold Maestro is a motion control solution for the entire system based on a distributed architecture where the servo drives execute local algorithms and the Maestro controls and synchronizes the system.

Elmo's Gold Maestro is a network-based, multi-axis machine motion controller that operates in conjunction with Elmo’s classic SimplIQ servo drives, as well as the new Gold Line of intelligent servo drives, to provide a comprehensive and efficient motion control solution for the entire system.
