Decentralized servo technology (KOLLMORGEN)

Decentralized: Smaller, less wiring –this is the look of automation tomorrow

The new AKD-N and AKD-C: Kollmorgen’s design for the future

With the AKD-N Kollmorgen has developed a new generation of decentralized servo drive technology for the design of next-generation machines. The system consists of DC supplied AKD-N servo drive powered directly from the AKD-C central power supply module. Up to 16 drives can be connected to each power supply, with an up to 4 kW performance rating per axis. The main advantages of the new technology include dramatically reduced cabling costs, the high fl exibility of the streamlined system, low hardware complexity and a connection system that is unparalleled.

Saving cost, and efficient use of resources 

  • Less cabling, less copper, less costs
  • No ventilation, decreased power consumption
  • No derating for motors
  • Fast connection for decreased installation costs
  • More freedom for motor selection
  • Fewer components for greater reliability
  • Decentralized and centralized technology brought together in to a single platform
  • Maximum functional standardization
  • Scalable Single-Cable solution
  • Resource effi ciency along the entire value chain
  • Motion-related I/O close to the motor
