  GET CONNECTED: Is Inferior Cabling Compromising
  the Performance of Your Machine?

Engineers designing servo and stepper systems tend to focus on the obvious: the motor, controller, amplifier, and sensors. Signal and power cables, though no less important than the components they connect, are often overlooked until the project's end, or worse, handed off to an electrician without proper training. The result: lower-than-expected accuracy, frequent failures, low immunity from electromagnetic interference (EMI), and adverse effects on neighboring equipment. Find out more>>.
 


 
  SIMPLIFY: Standardize on a Single Servomotor Family
  with Global Features-Set

As internal engineering resources continue to be eliminated or outsourced, designers are being asked do more and in less time. While the aggressive pursuit of new global markets increases the potential for revenue growth, machines must now meet a number of varying design specifications and requirements for use in the global marketplace. As profit margins become thinner, a machine must be less complicated, more economical to manufacture and be supported anywhere in the world. What is needed, of course, is simplicity to make the design process easier.

Kollmorgen AKM brushless servomotors are designed with those challenges in mind. They are engineered to satisfy global application needs by delivering unprecedented choice and flexibility from a single product platform. With 26,000 standard models available, AKM high performance servomotors offer a wide range of mounting, connectivity, speed, feedback and other options, as well as a variety of windings designed to support standard global voltages. AKM motors can be paired with a Kollmorgen  S200, S300, S600 & MMC Smart Drive high performance servo drive for a fully optimized servo system. Find Out More>>


 
  WORK SMART: Maximize your Machine Performance
  with Multi-Axes High Performance Motion Control System

Available in 2 to 64 axis stand-alone and 1 to 16 axis drive resident versions, the stand-alone Digital MMC is a high performance, full-featured multi-axis motion controller that communicates to servo amplifiers using a high-speed Ethernet-based digital motion control network. Real-time information from the drive is available to the application program via the digital link. Find out more>>.
 

 
  WHAT'S NEW: Multi-Axis Motion Control Systems Now Available

Kollmorgen is pleased to announce the release of DS4 and DS6 Linear Tables used in multi-axis Cartesian motion control systems for precision positioning, high-speed automation, and robotics.

No need to source and integrate individual components. The fully-integrated system provides a turn-key solution that drastically reduces system integration time otherwise required by the customer.

To create 2D/3D models of the tables, please visit our online modeling tool.
