A feedback device’s job is to constantly communicate speed and position to the servo drive. This communication is the very definition of what makes a servomechanism a closed loop system. Kollmorgen motion expert, Kenny Hampton, will review various feedback devices, sharing advice on pros and cons, and offer practical guidance about making the right choice for your specific application.

You’ve chosen a hygienic motor. Now, how do you connect it while ensuring your hygienic design? Motor-cable connections don’t have to be a weak link in the hygienic design.

Know your application requirements but not the necessary torque and speed? Learn how to use Kollmorgen’s Motioneering tool to size your mechanism project, and find motor and drive pairings that fit your needs.

Each axis of motion has different requirements and while some need full servo control, many can be economically solved with stepper motors. Wondering when to use one vs. the other? Wondering which stepper is your best option? Kollmorgen motion experts have faced these decisions countless times.

Enhanced motion can improve the accuracy, throughput and cutting capabilities of your laser, plasma or waterjet cutting machine, leading to increased sales, higher margins and greater satisfaction for your customers.
