Kollmorgen PLATINUM® DDL direct drive linear motors are frameless, permanent magnet, three phase, brushless servomotors that are directly coupled to the driven load. This configuration does away with all mechanical transmissions to eliminate backlash, compliance and other problems associated with mechanical transmissions. DDL designs inherently deliver exceptional high performance, extremely high stiffness, very high dynamic speeds and accelerations, high positional accuracy, higher throughput, compact mechanical assembly, smooth, error-free motion, zero maintenance, and quiet operation.

If you design machines that include a few independent motors, you most likely do not need to network the motor controllers or drives, as software can simply command the independent drives to move a set distance or number of degrees. But when products such as pick-and-place machines, semiconductor-processing apparatus and other precision equipment require multiple drive "cooperation" with motion coordination, networked control becomes a must.

Match HMI Technology with Your Application Needs - Without Having to Pay for Superfluous Features

Kollmorgen H-Series Operator Interface Panels are a comprehensive operator interface family of keypad and full color graphic touch screen displays. They are available in seven different frame sizes ranging from 3 in. to 10.4 in., with "Standard", "Plus" and "Network" functionality that enable users to specify an HMI solution ideally suited to application needs without having to pay for unnecessary features.

"Standard" models deliver features to satisfy the most commonly needed software and hardware requirements for an operator panel, such as alarm handling, Windows™ fonts, multi-language support, animated graphics and macro/ladder features. "Plus" models have the same functionality as Standard versions, with the added benefits of data/recipe handling and a communication port for a printer. "Network" versions include all the features of "Standard" and "Plus" models but include an integral Ethernet port to facilitate seamless networking functionality. Optional "Enhanced" versions are available that include a USB host, USB device and CF card. Find out more>>
