Simplifying the Creation of High-Performance Motion

Integrated motion and logic control

One of the most challenging aspects of developing a motion control system is developing the motion profiles and associated code for each axis in the system, as well as the code that synchronizes these axes. Difficult enough even with relatively simple machines, this task is particularly daunting when dealing with complex high-performance systems that have intricate synchronization requirements.

There is a better way.

Pipe Network™ from Kollmorgen represents a radically simplified approach to algorithm development. Pipe Network replaces the motion control code with pre-tested blocks that can simply be dragged and dropped into place, and connected together to develop the motion control solution. Programming and testing time are substantially reduced due to the intuitive nature of creating the topology and setting the attributes of the system.

Learn more about how Pipe Network can help you build differentiated and superior performing machines in our new white paper, Building Better Machines Faster by Simplifying the Creation of High-Performance Motion.

How One OEM Dramatically Improved Overall Machine Performance

Performance advantage

One Kollmorgen customer recently redesigned their machine to achieve higher throughput. The challenge was that their machine was limited by high mechanical inertia resulting from the numerous components and resonance common in typical belt / pulley systems. Instead of a tweak here and there, this customer implemented a KBM™ frameless direct drive motor solution.

The results?

Not only did this machine builder significantly reduce their parts count and machine maintenance requirements, they also realized a 40% increase in machine acceleration with a substantial decrease in peak drive power when compared with traditional servo technologies.

Learn more about how KBM motors can help you build a superior performing machine, faster.
