Kollmorgen’s new 32kW drive is one of the most power-dense on the market, consuming only 576 cm2 of panel space; the smallest drive in the AKD® family, at 1 kW, consumes only 99 cm2. The AKD platform is one of the highest performing on the market, with a 0.67µs current loop: Approximately 100x the industry-standard speeds of 62.5 µs.
The AKD platform supports Ethernet /IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, CANopen, SERCOS III, SynQnet, and TCP/IP. Recent enhancements to HTTP and UDP support in the intelligent “PDMM” version of AKD—Kollmorgen’s drive-resident multi-axis motion controller—meets growing demand to interface with PC networks for back office analytics and PC-based SCADA control.
