Successful motion control projects are built, first and foremost, on thoroughly understanding your application's machinery requirements and specifications. So the most common mistakes engineers fall into start with engineering details like the exact motion profiles or torque requirements of the application. But other challenges loom as well, including ineffective engineering processes, an ability to solve integration problems, project management and decision-making skills. Avoiding these pitfalls in your motion control applications will require both engineering and management expertise Full Article>>

For more than 15 years Kollmorgen electric motors and inverters have been making commercial/industrial hybrid vehicles go. With more than one million hybrid buses, trucks, forklifts, agricultural, construction and marine vehicles in operation, Kollmorgen has the expertise and field proven technology to help you get a better hybrid vehicle to market, faster.

The S200 servo drive family now includes an optional Digital Link interface module for connectivity to the Digital MMC family of controls, which itself has been expanded to include stand-alone controls from 2 to 64 axes and drive resident controls from 1 to 16 axes. The result is a cost-effect, compact and highly flexible performance servo solution that can share the same Digital Link network. Drive setup and control programming are seamless with PiCPro programming software, v17.0. Find out more>>

Kollmorgen CT Series step motors uses less power than competitive step motor systems to deliver the same torque output, or use equivalent power to provide 25% higher torque output. The result is improved operating efficiency and increased machine throughput, with reduced machine size and operating costs.

CT Series step motors also allow the load to mount directly to the motor shaft, effectively reducing mechanical system costs by eliminating the need for couplings and load support bearings. High voltage insulation further increases reliability and allows the motors to be used with high voltage, high performance drives. Find out more>>

This Fall for the Advanced Kollmorgen Drive™ (AKD) and Kollmorgen Automation Suite™ - both engineered to help machine builders do more, better and faster, with less.

AKD is a technologically advanced and versatile solution that will enable machine builders to standardize on a single servo drive platform for nearly any application. 

Kollmorgen Automation Suite is a complete, fully integrated machine automation solution that gives you the ability to quickly and easily program and refine most automated functions, including line shafting, gearing and camming. It fluidly incorporates the best-in-class Kollmorgen components including Programmable Automation Controllers, HMI's, I/O, drives, motors and mechanical products.

Our current installed base customers are seeing dramatic improvements in throughput while benefiting from an improved user experience with exceptional ease of use/integration features, and a wide range of support services.
