- Electronic gearing and camming functions built-in
- Programmable I/O (digital inputs/outputs for motion commands and status)
- Fault monitoring with configurable fault response actions
- Current limiting and thermal protection integrated
Structural Characteristics:
- Compact chassis-mount design with DIN rail clip option
- Screw terminal connections for power, motor, and I/O
- Integrated heat sink with forced-air cooling capability
- Green LED status indicators on front panel
Working Principle:
The drive receives a command signal (analog voltage, PWM, or step/direction) from a controller. The internal DSP processor executes the control algorithm in real time, comparing the feedback signal from the motor encoder against the command to generate a PWM output that drives the motor phases through a three-phase inverter bridge (IGBT power stage). The current loop operates at 20 kHz, the velocity loop at 1 kHz, and the position loop at 1 kHz, ensuring high bandwidth motion control.
Advantages:
- Cost-effective entry-level servo drive with full motion control capability
- Wide motor compatibility across Kollmorgen AKM and AKM22 motor families
- Simple setup via Kollmorgen AKD Workbench software over USB
- Robust industrial-grade design with built-in protections
Applicable Industries:
- Packaging machinery
- Material handling systems
- Printing and converting equipment
- Small CNC machines
- Textile machinery
- General automation
Installation Requirements:
- Mount on a vertical DIN rail (35 mm) or flat surface with adequate ventilation
- Minimum 50 mm clearance on all sides for airflow
- Connect DC bus capacitor if bus length exceeds 2 meters
- Use shielded cable for encoder feedback (max 10 m recommended)
- Ensure proper grounding of chassis and motor frame
Usage Precautions:
- Do not exceed 48 VDC bus voltage under any condition
- Derate output current by 1% per °C above 40°C ambient
- Do not operate without a motor connected — the drive requires a load for stable current loop operation
- Use Kollmorgen-approved cables for encoder connections to prevent signal noise
- Update firmware using AKD Workbench before commissioning
