Textile applications are designed to accomodate rugged manufacturing environments where high heat, acidic and alkaline conditions apply. Kollmorgen leverages motion control experience in tensioning applications, gearing & camming, and virtual servo-based line shafting to bring higher performance and throughput to textile applications.

Products for Textile Applications

AKM Servomotors & Direct Drive Motors

Optimal for tensioning applications with no jerking and very smooth torque control.

SynqNet® Controls, I/O & Drives

All-digital motion controllers allow for high speed operation while retaining absolute control over product quality. Learn more >  

Thomson Mechanical

Mechanical and electro-mechanical products offering flexibility, precision, efficiency, and reliability.

SynqNet® Controls, I/O & Drives Realtime I/O latching techniques over SynqNet allow for tight coupling between process control and motion control. This allows for high speed operation while retaining absolute control over product quality. And with centralized SynqNet control, dedicated I/O latching happens in the nano-second range ensuring real-time behavior of axes control.

Only Kollmorgen is able to offer a complete electromechanical solution consisting of software, controllers, drives, motors, feedback, gearheads, brakes, clutches, and linear actuators – all with 24/7 global manufacturing, sales and application engineering support.

Adjustable Speed Drive Solutions AC and DC drives through 500 HP. Our family of SECO and Acomel adjustable speed drives accommodate a wide range of AC and DC motor types and power ratings. Many provide options for running open or closed loop depending on the degree of control required. Torque and velocity modes are offered and some models include position control. Application specific firmware provides for specialized tension control situations including winders, unwinds, tension zones, and shaft position lock.
