Kollmorgen – AKD-N Multiaxis Servo System

The AKD-N decentralized servo drive reduces cabinet space and opens the way to a smarter machine automation with 80% less cabling. Typical applications for the AKD-N are packaging machines and production machines in food and beverage industry.

• IP67 drives can be mounted to machine, outside the control panel
• Reduced cabling because DC, network, power supply, I/O level as well as safety (STO) run in one cable
• More flexibility in machine design, can be “cold plate” mounted

Features

Reduce costs

• Reduced cabling because DC and network, power supply, I/O level as well as safety (STO) run in one cable
• Fast and simple assembly, even without special knowledge, through ready-made and tested cables
• Lack of derating enables smaller motor and servo drive combinations compared to integrated system with the same output power

Compact machines

• Smaller and therefore easily integrated switch cabinets
• Servo drives in the immediate vicinity of the motor
• Robust construction in Protection class IP67 makes protective enclosures superfluous

Faster startup

• Plug connectors in IP67 for connection without tools
• At only eleven millimeters, the thin hybrid cable can be laid in a space-saving manner – even in tight machine corners, thanks to a small bending radius
• Simple connection of I/O systems or networks directly to the drive
• Parameterization with Kollmorgen's WorkBench software

Higher machine effectiveness (OEE)

• Design supports fast and effective cleaning
• High operating safety through robust construction
• Precision through digital feedback
• Everything at a glance: Status display on servo drive

More flexibility in machine design

• Compatible with all motors from Kollmorgen with single-cable, or dual-cable, connection
• Simple combination of central and decentralized controllers within the comprehensive AKD family
• Faster modification and upgrade options through linear topology as well as I/O and network interfaces at the axis
