• Curated set of frame sizes and performance specifications. System offerings ranging from 200W to 4000W with ratings optimized for 120. 240. 400 or 480 VAC operation and frame sizes between 58 to 138mm.

• Highly manufacturable at scale. The most in-demand configurations are always in stock. So you can count on assured delivery of the systems you need, in the quantities you need, with short lead times.

• Plug-and-play installation. By default, the servo system is configured to work with Kollmorgen Automation Suite, but you can switch to work with third-party control system architectures using EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP or PROFINET. The new Express Setup feature in our WorkBench software makes setup, configuration and tuning simple, even for engineers with little motion experience. And the full suite of WorkBench tools is also included for more advanced motion programming and tuning tasks.

Get the essential motion control system features and performance you need — plus unprecedented value, rapid delivery and easy setup and configuration. The new Kollmorgen Essentials line delivers complete motion control systems, engineered to help machine designers meet practically any motion requirement and budget with ease and confidence.

With a range of size and performance options to choose from, each motion control system includes: a servo motor offered in eight power ranges; a servo drive designed to work with your choice of the industry’s most widely used Industrial-Ethernet control systems as well as with the full line of software and hardware solutions in the Kollmorgen Automation Suite; a cable in a choice of lengths, featuring single-cable power/data technology to simplify setup; and optional accessories including regen resistors, line filters and spare drive-side connectors.

The analog and multifunctional Bus Terminals can be adapted to each specific

application. Depending on the type, the analog Bus Terminals’ registers contain

temperature ranges, gain values and linearisation characteristics. The Bus

Terminals store settings permanently and in a fail-safe manner. Optionally,

the Bus Terminals can also be controlled by the control system. Via function

blocks (FBs), the programmable logic controller (PLC) handles configuration

of the complete periphery during the start up phase. If required, the controller

can upload the decentralized created configuration data in order to centrally 

manage and store this data. Therefore, new adjustments are not necessary in

the event of replacement of a Bus Terminal. The controller automatically sets

the required setting on power up.

EtherCAT (Ethernet Control Automation Technology) is the Ethernet solution for

industrial automation, characterized by outstanding performance and particularly

simple handling. EtherCAT enables the Ethernet star topology to be replaced with

a simple line structure. Optionally, EtherCAT may also be wired in the “classic”

way using switches, in order to integrate further Ethernet devices. The master

requires no special plug-in card and can be implemented on any existing Ethernet

controller using a very simple interface. EtherCAT is therefore also well suited to

small and medium control applications, where it will also open up new areas of

application for distributed I/Os.

For EtherCAT a separate I/O system in protection class IP 20 is available in the 

form of EtherCAT Terminals. In contrast to Bus Terminals, where the fieldbus

signal is implemented within the Bus Coupler on the internal, fieldbus-independent

terminal bus, the EtherCAT protocol remains fully intact down to the individual terminal.

The EtherCAT Coupler supports the operation of all Bus Terminals. As far as the

user is concerned, handling of the analog inputs/outputs is not different to other

series. The information is available in the process image of the controller for

processing in the form of a byte array.

The EtherCAT® Bus Coupler connects the real-time Ethernet system

with modular, extendable electronic terminal blocks. A complete unit

consists of a bus coupler, a set of bus terminals and one end terminal.

Features

The EtherCAT Coupler connects EtherCAT, the real-time Ethernet system,

with the modular, extendable electronic terminal blocks. A unit consists

of a Bus Coupler, a set of terminals, and one end terminal.

The Bus Coupler recognises the connected Bus Terminals and automatically

allocates them into the EtherCAT process image. The Bus Coupler is

connected to the network via the upper Ethernet interface. The lower RJ 45

socket may be used to connect further EtherCAT devices in the same strand.

In the EtherCAT network, the EtherCAT Coupler can be installed anywhere in

the Ethernet signal transfer section (100BASE-TX) – except directly at the switch.V

SN3/SN4 Series AC Synchronous Motors provide high performance

Choose Your Optimum Linear Motor Design

The IC Ironcore DDL is our most powerful, versatile model, ideal for moving

heavy loads quickly or for accommodating global applications at 230/400/480

bus voltages without the need for transformers. The ICD Ironcore Low Profile

DDL offers outstanding force density, allowing you to design the most compact,

lightweight applications. And the IL Ironless DDL offers zero-cogging performance

for applications that require very low bearing friction, high acceleration of lighter

loads and smooth operation even at ultra-low speeds.

Features

•Ideal for accelerating and moving low to very high masses — greatest rated thrust

force per size

•Suitable for global markets — 230/400/480 VAC bus voltage for IC Ironcore DDL

•Very smooth velocity with high positional accuracy — zero backlash or compliance,

maintaining the stiffness required for machining and other process forces

•Zero maintenance — eliminates lubrication and wear of ball screws, gearboxes,

rack and pinions, or belts and pulleys

•Simple, compact mechanical assembly — high force density in a minimal form factor

with a greatly reduced total parts countKollmorgen Direct Drive Linear Motors

DDL motors drive linear loads directly, eliminating the need for couplings,

belts, ball/lead screws, rack & pinion gears or other backlash-prone,

maintenance-intensive transmission components. Using direct drive linear

motors, your machine can be simpler to design, faster and more precise

in operation, quieter and more reliable — without the need for complicated

parts that require constant lubrication and eventually wear out.

Pair your DDL motor with an AKD or AKD2G servo drive for industry-leading

power density, flexible communication options and optional functional

safety capabilities.
