Kollmorgen AKD-P01207-NBC

Product Name:​ AKD Series Servo Drive, Position Indexer Version, 12 A, 240/480 V AC
Product Introduction:​ “P” = Position indexer (built-in motion task execution), “012” = 12 A continuous, “07” = 240/480 V input, “NBC” = No brake resistor, B? (often B​ = Basic/Indexer already covered by P, C​ = certain feedback/connector config — resolver/encoder options), “N-0081” is likely a firmware/revision or custom spec identifier.

Detailed content

Technical Specifications:
  • Input:​ 240/480 V AC 3-phase (187–528 V)
  • Continuous Current:​ 12 A RMS
  • Peak Current:​ 36 A RMS
  • Power:​ ~8000 W continuous
  • Control:​ Built-in indexer (motion programs, electronic cam/gear)
  • Feedback:​ Sine/Cos, resolver, EnDat, BiSS, Hiperface, SFD (NBC typically resolver/standard encoder)
  • I/O:​ 8 digital in, 3 digital out, 1 analog in/out (16-bit)
  • Communication:​ EtherCAT/CANopen capable (depending on installed option)
  • Protection:​ IP20, optional STO
  • Operating Temp:​ 0–40°C (to 55°C derated)
Functional Features:
  • Standalone motion:​ Execute complex profiles without external controller.
  • AKD WorkBench:​ PC software for tuning, plotting, programming.
  • Dual-port EtherCAT:​ For daisy-chain networking.
  • Removable screw terminals:​ Power, brake, I/O.
Material & Structure:
  • Enclosure:​ Rigid metal with side vents, DIN/panel mount.
  • Electronics:​ High-speed DSP + FPGA, regenerative bus management.
Working Principle:
Host or internal indexer generates trajectory; drive closes position/speed/current loops, outputs PWM to motor; feedback processed on-board for commutation and correction.
Application Scenarios:
Multi-axis machines with distributed intelligence, labeling machines, electronic assembly, medical device manufacturing, printing where each axis runs local routines.
Installation Requirements:
  • Secure earth ground (PE) connection mandatory.
  • If regenerative energy high, add external​ brake resistor (NBC = no internal).
  • Allow ~100 mm top/bottom clearance for convection.
Usage Precautions:
  • Firmware “N-0081” may dictate feature set — verify compatibility with AKD WorkBench version.
  • Indexer programs reside in volatile/non-volatile memory — backup regularly.
  • Observe STO wiring if safety integrity required.
