Servo drives are key to be optimized for reducing space and adapting to the specific form-factor of the final application. With the buried-via multi-layer technology it is common to find 16 or even 32 stacked layer designs embedded in a nail-size servo drive. This high level of compactness and integration allows the multi-axis robots to be modular, more efficient, and minimize wiring.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"two-columns__column\">\n\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ultra-low-latency\"><strong>Ultra-Low Latency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingenia\u2019s drives allow for system latencies of down to 1 EtherCAT cycle.
