Here we outline leading factors affecting the longevity and performance of industrial robot joints. This feature was contributed by Kollmorgen engineering staff. Links refer to supporting research listed at the feature conclusion. Recent years have seen continuous demand in numerous industries — automotive manufacturing to computer, communication, and consumer electronics (3C) product fabrication — for […]
Kollmorgen showing motion innovations at PACK EXPO 2019
Kollmorgen will exhibit its industry-leading motion control technology (including exciting new products) at Pack Expo in Las Vegas on September 23 to 25. Attendees are invited to visit Booth C-3726 to learn how the company’s new AKD2G servo drive and AKM2G servo motor system, software solutions for automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), robotic gearmotors, and hygienic […]
Getting servo motor and drive phase and commutation alignments right
Addressing issues related to commutation alignment between AC PM servo motors and servo drive amplifiers — especially when motor and drive are from different manufacturers — can be quite challenging. Here we outline how to make that easier. By Hurley Gill • Senior applications and systems engineer | Kollmorgen In this article, we’ll start by confirming […]
Kollmorgen launches new version of Motioneering, its online servo sizing tool
Kollmorgen’s next generation of Motioneering is faster and more intuitive, offers customizable-to-application requirements, allows side-by-side comparison of multiple systems, and enables user access to the latest products and updates. Motioneering, the company’s innovative servo sizing tool, was introduced more than 20 years ago to help mechanical design engineers find the ideal motion products to build […]
Servo motor offers increased torque, speed and efficiency in compact footprint
Kollmorgen’s AKM2G synchronous servo motors are the next generation of its AKM motor product family, and provide increased capabilities for demanding applications. The higher torque density of the AKM2G allows OEMs to substantially increase machine performance without increasing motor size. Greater flexibility and wider speed range enables machines to run faster, move heavier loads, and […]
Kollmorgen to feature frameless motors and gearmotors for robot design at XPONENTIAL 2019
Kollmorgen’s frameless motor solutions have empowered smaller, lighter, and faster precision robots for decades. The company will feature its latest motion technology for robot design for engineers and manufacturers at the AUVSI XPONENTIAL SHOW, April 30 to May 2, in Chicago, IL. Throughout the show, visitors to Booth #938 can experience product demos and have […]
New servo motor series from Kollmorgen
The new VLM servo motor series from Kollmorgen aims to fill the gap between stepper and high-performance servo motors. The new VLM series synchronous servo motors offer OEMs, machine builders and end-users, an excellent price-performance proposition in the torque range of 0.5 to 4.5 Nm continuous and 16 Nm peak, with speeds of up to […]
New dual-axis AKD2G servo drive from Kollmorgen
Kollmorgen’s new dual-axis AKD2G Servo Drive is one of the most power-dense industrial servo drives on the market. It substantially reduces mains wiring, fuses, and filtering to save significant panel space and cost. The AKD2G features expandable I/O (without increasing the size), removable memory, dual-channel STO, and the first drive-resident graphic display in the industry. […]
Difference between continuous ratings and holding continuous loads (an ac servo-motor terminology primer)
For applications primarily needing the holding of a load with little movement, there are special servo-motor sizing considerations. But confusion often arises from the terminology used to describe such designs — especially from the common use of the term stall in the servo-motor industry. Here we clarify the definition in context and then relate it […]
Kollmorgen to demo new AKD2G Servo Drive & AKM2G Servo Motor System at Pack Expo 2018
Kollmorgen will be exhibiting at Pack Expo, October 14-17, 2018, in Chicago, IL. Attendees are invited to visit booth N-5251 to see new-to-the-show demos of the company’s motion technology, including the new AKD2G servo drive and AKM2G servo motor system solution, hygienic motor solutions for packaging applications, and state-of-the-art robotics.
