Kollmorgen introduces the Advanced Kollmorgen Drive (AKD). The Ethernet-based AKD delivers performance with 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 complete machine automation solution - Kollmorgen Automation Suite. As a result, machine builders are able to standardize on a single drive family with a common Graphical User Interface (GUI) across the power range to deliver optimized machine performance, throughput and accuracy across multiple applications, while minimizing engineering time and costs associated with stocking, understanding and programming multiple types of drives.
The AKD is available for 120/240 VAC or 480 VAC operation, with a power range of 3 to 24 Arms continuous current, 9 to 48 Arms peak. Models with an industry-leading power range up to 96 Arms continuous and 192 Arms peak will be available in 2010. The AKD s high power density enables machine builders to get more power from a drive as small as 168mm x 57mm x 153mm. As a result, OEMs can reduce the size of their machine, or increase its power without increasing its size. And with common interface and hardware across the entire AKD power range, machine builders will benefit from faster commissioning and troubleshooting, too.
The AKD is uniquely capable of supporting a variety of feedback devices and Ethernet Motion buses from the base hardware, without the need for any separate option cards. Currently supported feedback devices include Smart Feedback Devices (SFD), Endat, BiSS, Analog Sine/Cos encoders, incremental encoders, HIPERFACE and resolvers. Currently supported Ethernet Motion buses include EtherCAT, CANopen and Modbus/TCP. Because these capabilities are available out of the box from the base hardware, the AKD maximizes quality and operational flexibility while reducing costs and overall footprint increases associated with integrating option cards.
