The 2G Motion System consisting of next generation motors, drives, and cable systems offer superior motion to deliver power and torque density at a significantly smaller size. From direct drive rotary and linear to housed and frameless, our cutting machine servo motors can handle every cutting technology, application and operating environment. And with gantry functionality, our 2G Motion System enables machine builders to achieve that next level of motion performance by tightly synchronizing two axes at the firmware level. This magnitude is typically faster compared to fieldbus update rates.
Cutting machines use lasers, plasma and waterjet to make highly precise cuts with speed and efficiency. Kollmorgen’s motors have the torque and power density needed to minimize payload inertia and maximize control for faster, more precise cutting. With motion performance designed and tuned to the specific task, we can integrate the right motor for each individual machine to offer you better performance at higher speeds.
