Product Description
The Gold Tuba series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed to deliver the highest
density of power and intelligence. The Gold Tuba delivers up to 25 kW of continuous power in a
compact package.
Before you start, ensure that all system components are connected to earth ground. Electrical
safety is provided through a low-resistance earth connection.
Only qualified personnel may install, adjust, maintain and repair the servo drive. A qualified person
has the knowledge and authorization to perform tasks such as transporting, assembling, installing,
commissioning and operating motor servo drives.
The Gold Tuba servo drive contains electrostatic-sensitive components that can be damaged if
handled incorrectly. To prevent any electrostatic damage, avoid contact with highly insulating
materials, such as plastic film and synthetic fabrics. Place the product on a conductive surface and
ground yourself in order to discharge any possible static electricity build-up.
To avoid any potential hazards that may cause severe personal injury or damage to the product
during operation, keep all covers and cabinet doors shut.
The Gold Tuba series are part of Elmo’s advanced Gold Line. They operate from an AC power source
in current, velocity, position and advanced position modes, in conjunction with a permanent-
magnet synchronous brushless motor, DC brush motor, linear motor or voice coil. They are
designed for use with any type of sinusoidal and trapezoidal commutation, with vector control. The
Gold Tuba can operate as a stand-alone device or as part of a multi-axis system in a distributed
configuration on a real-time network.
Power to the drives is provided by an AC power source, either directly from the mains or via a
transformer.
An auxiliary 24 VDC power supply is required as the Gold Tuba does not operate without one. This
feature also serves as a backup functionality.
