Recent work done by Kollmorgen—a global leader in manufacturing motor and motion solutions—has shown that it is possible to synchronize components within the flexo printing process without mechanical transmission by using closed loop control…
Reliability in extreme environments. Optimized motor windings. A larger through-bore aspect ratio. How do you achieve these and other specialized motor attributes on a rapid development schedule, with assurance of meeting cost and supply requirements…
An aging population, a growing burden of disease, continuous development of new clinical applications, and global advancements in the standards of disease prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment. For all these reasons and more,…
This article presents an overview comparison of stepper motor and servo motor capabilities to serve as selection criteria between the two technologies.
Every radiology department wants to deliver the highest-quality diagnoses to support the highest-quality patient care. The key to improving the patient experience is precise motion under perfect control. That’s Kollmorgen’s specialty.
This paper reviews options that are available for Ethernet and non-Ethernet connections within the motion controller. It begins with a summary of what information can be transferred in and out of the motion controller followed by network and…
Washdown is a principal cause of motor failure. OEMs and producers spend a lot of money to protect motors, and lose a lot on downtime. But there’s a better way.
When you need optimal motion control, the intuitive solution is to choose best-inclass components, regardless of vendor mix. But as an engineer, you know that intuitive doesn’t always mean right.
The issues with commutation alignment between servo motors and servo drives, especially when the motor and drive are from different manufactures,can be quite challenging. Understanding typical design challenges can help you tackle motor…
In this white paper written by Robotics Business Review and Kollmorgen, the benefits of going with a frameless motor design - such as efficiency, system bandwidth and a smaller footprint - are explored.
Producing wholesome quality food is challenging work. In addition to designing and manufacturing creative and tasty products, a laser focus on food safety is necessary for food processing companies to survive and thrive. Effective sanitation of…
Direct Drive servo motor and drive technology not only reduces an axis’ parts count, mechanical losses and often its objectionable noise; Direct drive technology also increases a machine’s efficiency, lowering operation cost for the user due to its…
