Integrated Motion Control over Mercury™ Ultra-High-Throughput Network
Polaris UniverseOne™ is a fully integrated motion control and data acquisition platform engineered for high-performance, multi-axis industrial automation. Designed for rapid commissioning and ease of use, it combines deterministic control with a broad feature set for demanding precision systems.
UniverseOne integrates the complete motion stack—including the motion controller, servo drives, I/O, and client/server software—into a unified architecture connected through Polaris Motion’s patented Mercury™ high-speed motion control network. This enables tightly synchronized, scalable machine control for applications such as precision laser processing, CNC, advanced robotics, and other high-dynamic manufacturing processes.
Hardware Modules
The electrical hardware includes the motion controller, motor drives, digital and analog I/O, and interfaces for third-party drive systems and galvo scanners. The hardware is connected through Mercury™, our patented Gbps motion control network. AC/DC power supplies for servomotor applications are also available to customers for quick and easy commissioning.
Real-Time Motion Control Network
Mercury™ is Polaris Motion’s patented, ultra-high-speed motion control network. It connects the Polaris UniverseOne™ controller with drives, I/O, and other devices. Each controller has four ports, and each port supports a daisy chain of up to 31 devices—allowing up to 124 devices on a single Mercury™ network.
Client Software
Polaris UniverseOne™ client software includes MotionTools™ for machine setup and Polaris CAD/CAM™ for generating part programs.
Server Software
Under the hood, the server software includes the motion control engine with G-code support, tools for writing process logic, and more.
Simulator Software
The Polaris UniverseOne™ simulator replicates the behavior and results of an actual system and machine. It has many uses for machine designers, software developers, the sales team, and machine operators.
