Kollmorgen AKD-T01206-NBA
Product Overview:
The AKD-T01206-NBA is a high-performance servo drive from Kollmorgen’s AKD series in T (Technology) configuration, rated at 01 (100W class — wait, T01 may indicate a specific variant; let me clarify based on standard AKD naming: T = Technology configuration with extended features, 01 = power rating, 206 = feedback code, NBA = BiSS absolute).
Detailed content
Technical Specifications:
- Series: AKD
- Configuration Code: T = Technology (full-featured, extended I/O, safety-ready, EtherCAT master/slave)
- Power Rating: 01 = 100W continuous / 300W peak (approximate)
- Bus Voltage: 200–480 VAC (3-phase input)
- Output Current: 1 Arms continuous (typical for 01 rating)
- Feedback Interface: NBA = BiSS Absolute encoder
- Communication: EtherCAT (master and slave), CANopen, Modbus RTU/TCP, Profinet (optional)
- Control Modes: All AKD modes + Electronic Cam, Electronic Gearing, Flying Shear, Tension Control, Web Guide (with T config)
- Encoder Resolution: Up to 23-bit absolute (BiSS-C)
- PWM Frequency: 8–16 kHz
- Current Loop Bandwidth: 2.0 kHz (T config has higher bandwidth)
- Velocity Loop Bandwidth: 600 Hz
- Position Loop Bandwidth: 300 Hz
- Built-in I/O: 12 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs, 4 analog inputs (0–10V, ±10V, 4–20mA), 2 analog outputs
- Safety: SIL 3 / PL e (with optional safety module — T config is safety-ready)
- Additional Features: Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Stop 1 (SS1), Safe Stop 2 (SS2), Safe Limited Speed (SLS), Safe Limited Position (SLP)
- Protection Rating: IP20 (IP54 front with optional cover)
- Dimensions (W×H×D): Approximately 140 × 155 × 80 mm
- Weight: Approximately 2.0 kg
Material Composition:
- Housing: Die-cast aluminum with anodized finish
- Power Stage: IGBT modules (600V, T config uses higher-rated modules)
- PCB: FR-4, conformal coating, gold-plated edge connectors for optional modules
- Connectors: TE Connectivity / Phoenix Contact, gold-plated
Structural Features:
- DIN rail or chassis mount
- Expanded terminal block area for I/O
- Safety relay output terminals (for STO, SS1, SS2)
- EtherCAT ports: 2× RJ45 (in/out for daisy-chain)
- Optional module slots (for additional I/O, fieldbus, safety)
Working Principle:
Same FOC cascade control as other AKD drives, but the T configuration adds a higher-performance DSP with expanded memory for complex motion profiles (cam, gear, tension). The BiSS absolute encoder provides high-resolution position feedback. The drive supports EtherCAT distributed clock (DC) for synchronized multi-axis motion. Safety functions are implemented via hardware safety relay (not software-dependent) for SIL 3 / PL e compliance.
Key Advantages:
- Full-featured — most capable configuration in AKD family
- SIL 3 / PL e ready — highest safety rating in AKD series
- BiSS absolute — no homing, multi-turn position retained
- Extended I/O — eliminates need for external I/O modules in many applications
- Advanced motion functions — cam, gear, tension, web guide built-in
- EtherCAT master — can control other EtherCAT slaves directly
Applicable Industries:
- High-end CNC machines
- Printing presses (tension/web control)
- Robotics (multi-axis coordinated)
- Semiconductor equipment
- Packaging machines with complex motion
- Any application requiring functional safety
Installation Requirements:
- Same as AKD-B, with additional grounding for safety circuits
- Safety circuits (STO, SS1, SS2) must use separate, safety-rated wiring (double-channel)
- EtherCAT network: terminate both ends with 120 Ω
- Ensure adequate heat dissipation — T config generates more heat due to higher bandwidth
Usage Notes:
- Use Kollmorgen WorkBench for full configuration
- Safety functions require certified safety wiring — consult Kollmorgen safety manual
- BiSS encoder: verify protocol version (BiSS-C recommended for AKD-T)
- Do not exceed 1 Arms continuous — use derating curve for ambient >40°C
