| The New Advanced Kollmorgen Drive™(AKD) | |
| Scalable Programmability and Flexibility for Optimized Machine Performance in Virtually Any Application |
|
|
The new standard in servo drive technology is here! The AKD™ servo drive is an Ethernet-based powerhouse that delivers best-in-class performance with industry-leading flexibility, scalability and power range to meet the unique performance requirements of nearly any application - from basic torque-and-velocity applications, to indexing, to multi-axis programmable motion via the company's powerful new Kollmorgen Automation Suite™. As a result, machine builders are able to: |
|
AKD is specifically designed with the versatility, communications, and power that machine builders need to expand machine performance and increase integration speeds. The AKD facilitates true plug-and-play operation with standard Kollmorgen servomotors and linear positioners to get an optimized, high performance system up and running quickly, in less space and for less cost, than lower performing options. Multiple Ethernet connectivity options available from the base hardware support a variety of open and closed protocols, without the need for separate option cards. And a broad power range in a smaller, compact design enables machine builders to use these robust drives with a single interface. The new AKD servo drive - the versatility you need to build an optimized machine. Find out more>> |

| Optimize Robot & Gantry Mechanics with MechaWare™ | |
Less Weight, Energy and Vibration Through Control Algorithms MechaWare 4.0 is now available. Mechaware is an engineering design tool used to improve the performance of motion system mechanics through software. Engineers with sway, vibration, noise and settling time issues use MechaWare to design systems that achieve higher speeds with less energy consumed and less weight. Achieve system improvements with faster time-to-market. MechaWare does this through the visual design and manipulation of over 80 blocks for optimized servo control algorithms and embedded motion and I/O routines within MATLAB®/Simulink®. Resulting models download directly to off-the-shelf target hardware, providing real-life performance in controls, motors and drives matching Matlab simulation. MechaWare 4.0 extends the functionality and ease-of-use of earlier versions with over 35 new blocks. Tune the custom controls model using Kollmorgen's Bode Tool for accelerated system tuning. Reference models available for Vibration Reduction, Inverse Kinematics, Gantry Control, and more. For more information, or to download a datasheet, please visit the MechaWare product page at http://www.kollmorgen.com/mechaware |
