Benefits

• With the addition of an on-drive BASIC-programmable drive/controller, the AKD™ Series achieves a new milestone for versatility and ease of use
• AKD BASIC allows single-axis applications to be handled in the same package sizes as the standard AKD drive, without the need for a separate controller
• The Expanded I/O version integrates additional digital and analog inputs/outputs, eliminating the need for remote I/O and providing even greater capability to serve as a complete machine/motion control package
• Eliminating the need for a separate PLC substantially reduces design time, wiring requirements, panel space and overall cost
• BASIC programming language is widely used, easy to learn, and enables quicker programming of more complex motion processes
• BASIC supports conditional statements, camming, S-curve, limitless motion profiles and other techniques for more advanced motion
• Menu-driven programming within AKD WorkBench offers intelligent formatting, templates and debugging capabilities to speed development and assist in code documentation
• Expanded I/O version supports SD memory card for easy program transfer and maintenance, without the need for a PC
• Source code lockout protects your intellectual property and your machine’s differentiating features
