ALVA Industries - Experts & Thought Leaders

Alva Industries (ALVA) will launch TorqStudio, their new advanced online platform for custom motor design and analysis, for the first time at SPS 2025 next week. Visitors to Alva’s booth (Hall 3, Booth #259) will be the first to experience an exclusive live preview of the platform ahead of its official release. Developed fully in-house at Alva, TorqStudio brings powerful motor simulation and design capabilities directly into the hands of engineers. It supports everything from early concept exploration to detailed performance verification, long before committing to hardware. Two Core Capabilities in One Unified Platform Motor Creation TorqStudio introduces a new and intuitive way to generate custom motor designs. Users simply define their desired motor size. The platform then automatically generates a wide range of optimized motor variants. These designs span different tradeoffs in motor mass, motor constant (Km), torque capability and efficiency. The engine behind TorqStudio is entirely analytical, which enables results in milliseconds instead of minutes or hours. Every generated motor is mathematically accurate, physically realistic, and aligned with real manufacturing constraints. “TorqStudio enables engineers to go from concept to viable motor design instantly,” said Anton Franzén, Director of Product Management at Alva. “It removes guesswork, accelerates decision-making, and unlocks rapid exploration of optimal configurations.” Motor Analysis TorqStudio also provides deep analytical capabilities for evaluating performance. Users can analyze any motor created within TorqStudio as well as Alva’s standard catalog motors. Learn more about Alva’s standard motor offerings, including the torque motors and frameless motors. The platform allows engineers to explore performance at any operating point and assess torque, power, efficiency, thermal implications, and application suitability long before prototyping. Analytical motor technology TorqStudio is built on Alva’s proprietary analytical motor technology. It delivers blistering-fast computation, accurate engineering results, and a streamlined user experience. TorqStudio gives customers what they have been asking for. Engineers gain the freedom to evaluate and configure motors digitally without waiting for extended simulation cycles or multiple back-and-forth requests. “Our goal with TorqStudio is simple,” said Nicolas Giraudo, CCO. “Give engineers control. Let them design, explore, validate, and innovate at the speed ideas come.” 

Following their successful joint showcase at Automatica earlier this year, ALVA Industries (ALVA) and Copley Controls (Copley) are partnering once again, this time at SPS 2025, to demonstrate the seamless integration of Alva’s SlimTorq™ frameless motors with Copley’s Accelnet BPL-090-30 servo drive. The demo, available in Alva’s booth (Hall 3, Booth 259), highlights a fully operational motion system combining zero-cogging torque performance from Alva’s SlimTorq™ motor with Copley’s advanced servo control technology. Together, they deliver a motion control solution engineered for unmatched smoothness, responsiveness, and integration flexibility, ideal for robotics, automation, and precision machinery. Precision servo drive solutions “At Copley Controls, we are committed to delivering precision servo drive solutions that enable high-performance motion ecosystems. We are thrilled to demonstrate how our compatibility with Alva’s motors gives customers a streamlined path to world-class servo performance backed by two trusted industry partners,” from Ryan LaVoie, Director of Product Management & Marketing at Copley Controls.  “It’s a pleasure to once again team up with Copley at SPS,” said Anton Franzén, Director of Product Management & Application Engineering at Alva Industries. “Together, we’re showing how easily our SlimTorq™ motor integrates with Copley’s servo drive to deliver a compact, powerful motion solution.” Alva’s SlimTorq™ motor series At the heart of the demo is Alva’s SlimTorq™ motor series, designed for applications demanding low cogging, high torque density, and compact integration. Its frameless, slotless architecture and large through-hole offer maximum design flexibility for robotics, gimbals, and medical systems. Driving the setup is the Copley Accelnet BPL-090-30, a DC-powered servo drive that delivers up to 15 A continuous current with precise control across position, velocity, and torque modes. Supporting CANopen DS-402, multiple feedback options, and CME 2™ software for fast commissioning, the BPL represents a robust solution for embedded motion control applications.

Following the success of their joint demonstration at Automatica earlier this year, ALVA Industries (ALVA) and Neugart GmbH (Neugart) are once again joining forces, this time at SPS 2025, to exhibit their high-performance, fully integrated AGV drive units. The collaboration highlights the seamless pairing of Neugart’s NGV drive series with Alva’s SlimTorq frameless motors, creating a complete drive solution for mobile platforms and robotics. Visitors to SPS can explore two fully functional drive units at both companies’ booths: NGV064 drive unit with 160 mm wheel NGV100 drive unit with 250 mm wheel Alva’s SlimTorq motors Alva’s SlimTorq motors are manufactured using its proprietary FiberPrinting process, a patented winding technology that achieves exceptionally high copper fill factors and zero cogging behavior. This allows for superior torque performance and thermal efficiency in a compact form factor. Neugart’s NGV series integrates gearbox, motor flange, and wheel hub into a single, compact module - minimizing system footprint while maximizing load capacity and durability. “We’re excited to once again collaborate with Neugart, now at SPS, to showcase the strength of combining our frameless motor technology with their gearbox expertise,” said Nicolas Giraudo, Chief Commercial Officer at Alva Industries. “It’s a powerful example of what’s possible when precision mechanics meet advanced motor design.” Customization in motion "We’re excited to join forces with Alva Industries to bring together their innovative frameless motors and Neugart’s precision gearboxes," said Clemens Maurer, Head of Business Development Management at Neugart. "This collaboration brings our motto, Customization in motion, to life - delivering tailored, high-performance solutions designed around our customers’ needs, enabling unmatched precision and efficiency in automation."
