Celera Motion / Novanta
Novanta’s Robotics & Automation division — the successor to Celera Motion and the Ingenia servo drive brand — is a precision motion technology company producing high-resolution inductive and optical encoders, miniature servo drives, frameless motors, integrated stepper motors, and force/torque sensors for mission-critical applications in surgical robotics, humanoid robotics, warehouse automation, semiconductor manufacturing, satellite communications, and lab automation. The division’s encoder line includes both inductive encoder modules — which offer robustness to contamination and are inherently immune to magnetic interference — and optical encoders delivering ultra-high resolution position feedback, with both families available in compact, lightweight configurations optimized for the tight space and weight budgets of collaborative and surgical robotic joints. Novanta’s Everest and Denali series servo drives, including the newly released safety-certified variants qualified to SIL 3 PLe CAT3 for human-robot interaction, combine tightly with its encoder and motor product lines to offer engineers a fully integrated motion stack for demanding autonomous and precision motion applications.
