In this video in our ongoing "Two Minutes of Motion" series, Gordon covers connecting to the AKD2G Servo Drive with Workbench, I/O and motion task setup.
AKD2G Servo Drive
Born from a rich AKD heritage, AKD2G is the latest servo drive technology adding:
- Dual-axis technology for additional space savings
- Built-in functional safety options via SafeMotion Monitor (including FSoE)
- Color Graphic Display
- Optimized for single-cable power and feedback
2G Motion System
Kollmorgen introduces the next generation of motion for more ambitious machines built on more capable performance and more confident engineering. The Kollmorgen 2G Motion System harnesses the full performance potential of our leading AKM2G servo motors and perfectly matched AKD2G drives designed to deliver unrivaled power density and control. The result is significantly enhanced torque, responsiveness and SafeMotion capabilities in a compact footprint that enables easy installation and total flexibility.
