Inovance demonstrates articulated robot at SPS
Inovance provided visitors at SPS 2025 with the first European preview of its versatile new INO AIR real-time servo control solution with wireless technology, as well as providing a demo of an articulated robot.
The Inovance stand also featured demonstrations of the company’s Total Automation Solution in action, covering the full range of connected industrial automation technologies.
Inovance highlighted the benefits its Total Automation Solution offers, including versatility, compatibility and connectivity. Covering the full automation line from AC drives, servos, PLCs, and motion controllers, to HMIs, I/Os, CNCs, industrial robots and associated software, Inovance’s Total Automation Solution brings products together to provide holistic solutions designed to solve even the most complex industrial automation challenges.
Making its European preview at SPS, the INO AIR wireless solution is ideally suited to cabinetless advanced industrial automation applications with integrated drive servo motors and those with servo motors mounted onboard rotating parts. It delivers microsecond-level synchronisation and over 99.99% reliability for smooth, accurate, repeatable performance. The built-in wireless communication bus provides maximum flexibility, alongside easy installation and diagnostics. INO AIR’s real-time servo control with wireless technology slashes total installed costs of machines due to fewer components and lower labour requirements as there is a much reduced need for complex control wiring between servos and adjacent control elements. The EtherCAT-compatible technology has already been successfully deployed in wireless labeling applications, eliminating hundreds of meters of cabling with 1 ms bus cycle time over 100 m and 1 µs jitter.
Inovance’s SPS stand also featured the new compact, efficient MD630 AC drive, which delivers high performance, versatile communication options, and proven reliability in a compact design. As well as the advanced SV680N single-axis servo drive with Fail Safe over EtherCAT (FSoE) and the accompanying MS1 servo motor with batteryless encoder. Two display walls showed Inovance’s Total Automation Solutions with PROFINET and EtherCAT connectivity.
Marcus Finkbeiner, country leader for Inovance Technology Germany, says: “We received an excellent response to our Total Automation Solution demonstration at SPS 2025. Our portfolio of connected products continues to grow, serving the European market with a wide range of automation technologies to meet the needs of different industries and applications.
“INO AIR is the latest upcoming addition to our Total Automation Solution as we plan to continue expanding our range of both wired and wireless solutions to remain at the forefront of technological innovation. Inovance is committed to providing companies across industry with the complete, connected solutions they need to succeed and our local teams of expert engineers are on hand to help.”
