Hi Jeremy,
When Gary Myers retired in January, we announced we would be introducing a next generation servo GOTO controller.
?
As you may be aware, StellarCAT had Wildcard had a long cooperation and we developed the ServoCAT communications protocol together including features such as AutoTrack.
?
Gary Myers had spoken about retiring for some time and the plan had been for Wildcard to then seamlessly introduce introduce a new GOTO controller as a successor to the ServoCAT.
?
However, the pandemic brought about a severe global supply chain disruption in the semiconductor industry. Components became harder and many times impossible to source.
So Gary Myers brought his retirement forward.
?
The semiconductor components shortage crises is still ongoing, still very severe and it has also meant that it does not look likely that we will be able to introduce the controller this year.
Semiconductor manufacturing industry spokespeople suggest the shortages will likely go on into 2023, so currently that is what we are aiming for.
?
The new controller will be compatible with existing ServoCAT servo motor installations. The controller also includes new advanced features.
?
My advice is to purchase your UC 18 now. As you can imagine, we are eager to get the new controller on the market as soon as the semiconductor log jam clears
but even semiconductor manufacturers themselves are not sure when that will be. ?
Argo Navis units however are in stock including both here and at Obsession. All Argo Navis units ever made are manufactured here at an ISO-9001 quality assured plant in Sydney.
Obsession manufacture their own encoder mount hardware and supply their own encoders and encoder cables. You ask for that to be pre-installed and use the mount in a PUSH-TO mode of operation. ?
Announcements about the forthcoming GoTo controller will appear here as well as on the Argo Navis Users' Group at?
