Details matter. Like making your machine easier to clean. Designing it for long-lasting reliability. Maximizing productive uptime. When details matter, motion matters. Watch how to build a faster-cleaning, longer-lasting machine.
Stainless Steel Food Grade AKMH Series
The AKMH Series is built to withstand the most rigorous of washdown regimens. The combination of the AKMH’s IP69K construction and corrosion resistant materials make for a servo motor that will last the life of your machine.
AKD-N Decentralized Servo Drive
The AKD-N decentralized servo drive reduces cabinet space and opens the way to a smarter machine automation with 80% less cabling. Typical applications for the AKD-N are packaging machines and production machines in food and beverage industry.
- IP67 drives can be mounted to machine, outside the control panel
- Reduced cabling because DC, network, power supply, I/O level as well as safety (STO) run in one cable
- More flexibility in machine design, can be “cold plate” mounted
