As technology changes the way humans and machines interact, opportunities to put new robotic driven capabilities into the hands of the warfighter continue to emerge. In addition to military drones and exoskeletons other types of defense and security robots include unmanned surface vessels, unmanned ground vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
The AKD2G drive is an easy to use, but comprehensive drive. The key to mastery is learning how to use the Workbench software.
Field robots are being pushed into unexplored territories in mines, on construction sites, under the water, and in other harsh and unstructured surroundings, to survive and master these tough challenges, your robot design needs to meet a rigorous set of criteria beyond what’s required for robots that operate in more predictable environments.
The AKD BASIC drive offers the performance features of our leading AKD Series along with built-in machine and motion control that can be programmed in BASIC.
When a servo motor carries a vertical load, you have special challenges to solve. There is the added element of gravity to contend with, and most applications cannot tolerate a falling load. Join us as Kollmorgen experts walk you through proven methods for managing these challenges and more in an exemplary vertical servo motor application.
The drive toward higher efficiency in manufacturing has primarily focused on higher-power motors for heavy-duty industrial applications. However, robot performance depends on a very different set of criteria.
Big machines require big solutions. Right? But what if higher-performance machines could benefit from compact, space-saving, lightweight, more efficient embedded solutions?
Learn how to navigate Motioneering - our fast, feature-rich, online servo-sizing tool for machine builders. This two-session webinar set will teach you the basics of Motioneering and introduce more advanced sizing.
Is production demand pushing your cobot design to its performance limit? Do rigorous operation requirements cause overheating? Would you like to design a cobot with no compromises to performance or cycle time?
Kollmorgen’s Motion 101 course immerses learners in the world of servo motors, drives, feedback devices and more. Now, by popular demand, we’re offering Mentor Sessions for Motion 101. These courses are globally accessible, and each session can stand alone or be taken as part of the complete Motion 101 course. Register today and get ready to learn all about the advanced technologies and exciting possibilities of servo motion. Each session will run approximately two hours.
As technology develops and the next generation of motion control products enters the market, Kollmorgen is making sure no one gets left behind. Our platforms are designed to support alterations or upgrades to your machine without the need to change out full systems. In this session, you’ll learn how you can mix and match 1G and 2G AKD drive and AKM motor platforms for a strategic advantage.
Are you interested in frameless motors but daunted by the challenge of integrating one into your design? This concern has kept many machine design engineers from embedding these power and torque dense motors into their applications.
How do you get maximum torque at full speed without specifying an oversized motor? How do you avoid excessive temperatures without derating? How do you get all the performance you need in a compact form factor that pairs with readily available gearing? Let’s explore the answers using next-generation frameless motor technology delivered by the all new TBM2G.
Market trends are constantly advancing the need for sophisticated mobile robots, portable medical equipment and AGVs. In this session, we’ll discuss key requirements for these mobile motion systems, and we’ll consider which Kollmorgen motor solutions are best suited to meet the challenge.
Celebrate movies, engineering and science with this light-hearted event that weaves together STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) knowledge, Kollmorgen technology and sci-fi fun for a little mid-day stress relief.
In this session, Jimmy Coleman, Senior Systems Application Engineer, and Johnny Crumpler, Product Line Specialist, will discuss a few frequently asked questions regarding which stepper motor to select for applications. They’ll share their expertise and will also answer your questions during the session.
If you have some experience with AKD servo drives, but want to gain more expertise through a guided setup, this webinar is for you. Learn best practices across all the key steps of setup, with the opportunity to ask our motion experts any specific questions you may have.
Join this webinar hosted by 30+ year motion veteran Tom S. Wood—to learn how to address the most formidable motion challenges for EO/IR sensors, seeker heads, fin actuators and other motion-critical systems. Tom has years of experience working with defense companies and will be taking your questions on the next-generation motion requirements for defense applications.
Accessory, afterthought, or essential component? Motors and drives are the dynamic duo of motion systems—but what about cables, the unsung hero? Cables power the system, deliver the data, and support the motor and drive in performing to their optimum specifications.
Kollmorgen has been developing on-line courses for a number of years to deliver to our internal team and channel partners.
