Kollmorgen AKD-M02407-M1E
Product Brief:
The AKD-M02407-M1E is a servo drive from Kollmorgen’s AKD-M product line — the machine-grade series designed for high-power, high-performance motion control. The model breakdown: M = Machine series, 024 = 24 A continuous current, 07 = 48 VDC bus (or 240 VAC bus variant), M1E = specific configuration. This drive handles motors up to 5 kW and is used in demanding industrial machinery.

- Dual EtherCAT ports for daisy-chain topology
- USB-C + Ethernet RJ45 for commissioning
- Status LED panel with fault code display
Operating Principle:
The AKD-M uses Field-Oriented Control (FOC) with Space Vector Modulation (SVM) at 16 kHz switching frequency. The drive’s DSP executes three nested control loops at high update rates. The position loop generates a velocity command, the velocity loop generates a torque command, and the torque loop controls the IGBT inverter output. For the SIL3 safety functions, a redundant safety processor monitors the main control path and can trigger Safe Torque Off (STO) within 10 ms of fault detection.
Advantages:
- Highest power density in Kollmorgen drive portfolio
- SIL3 certified — meets most demanding safety standards (ISO 13849 PL e, IEC 62061 SIL3)
- Universal input — one drive for global deployment (100–240 VAC or 48–325 VDC)
- Flying shear — eliminates need for external motion controller in web applications
- 16 DI / 8 DO — extensive I/O for complex machine logic
Applicable Industries:
- Metal forming machines (press brakes, shears)
- Injection molding machines
- Printing presses (high-speed web)
- Woodworking (routing, sawing)
- Heavy-duty robotics
- Wind turbine pitch control
- Marine propulsion
Installation Requirements:
- Mount on vertical surface with 100 mm clearance above for fan airflow
- DC bus: use external pre-charge resistor (included) for bus > 325 VDC
- Ground the drive chassis with 4 mm² copper wire, resistance < 0.1 Ω
- EtherCAT: use Cat6 shielded, max 100 m per segment, 120 Ω termination
- Analog inputs: use 4–20 mA for noise immunity in industrial environments
Usage Notes:
- Pre-charge circuit activates automatically — wait for READY indicator before enabling output
- SIL3 functions require periodic validation per IEC 61508
- Derate current by 2% per °C above 40°C ambient
- Update firmware only via Kollmorgen Workbench — never interrupt power during update
- For 480 VAC three-phase input: verify phase sequence before power-up
