Heason Technology Supplies New Kollmorgen AKD
Date: 20 January 2010
The newly announced Kollmorgen AKDT range of Ethernet-based servo drives is available from West Sussex based motion control specialists Heason Technology.
With common interfacing and hardware from
1.1 to 64 kW continuous output power and featuring multiple
Ethernet connectivity plus a wide choice of fieldbus communication
options, this new servo drive is capable of providing a solution
for very diverse range of motion control applications - from simple
single-axis indexing through to fully synchronised multi-axis
position control.
The AKD servo drive range is available in 5 modular sizes for panel
mounting with peak current ratings from 9 to 48 A on 120/240 VAC
single phase or 240/480 VAC three phase supplies. Higher current
versions up to 192 A are due for release during 2010.
Set up, diagnostics and programming are all made straightforward
with a PC-based GUI featuring intuitive icons and screen flow
navigation with auto-tuning and guided manual tuning. Online
troubleshooting and verification is available for faster
installation and setting up is further simplified with
plug-and-play compatibility across Kollmorgen's comprehensive range
of rotary, cartridge rotary and linear servo motors.
The DSP based AKD servo drive features a high-bandwidth torque loop
update rate of just 0.67 microseconds and industry leading
velocity/position loop updates down to 62.5 microseconds. Such
impressive control is combined with fast data acquisition through
its PC compatible TCP/IP Ethernet service channel for real-time
performance feedback. The flexibility built into the range also
includes EnDat, BiSS and HIPERFACE® feedback device
support and multiple fieldbus expansion options including
EtherCAT®, SynqNet®, Modbus/TCP and
CANopen®.
A full and expandable complement of optically-isolated I/O with
screw terminal connections also helps speed installation and option
cards are also available for expanded non-volatile system memory
and processing power.
The AKD range can also be embedded with the new and innovative KMS
(Kollmorgen Automation Suite) software to realise even higher
performing single- and multi-axis system performance with full
IEC-61131-3 PLC control for tightly integrated motion and machine
control applications.
With its own in-house design capability and a wide range of
products available from well respected global distribution
partners, Heason Technology provides standard and customised
electro-mechanical solutions for challenging motion control and
automation applications across a diversity of market areas
including aerospace, automotive, defence, robotics, process
control, packaging, motorsports and many more.
