ICH direct drives: KOLLMORGEN extends its linear motor programme

Mumbai 6. November: Easy to install, easy to clean, efficient in operation: the best drive technology solutions for packaging machines. Why KOLLMORGEN strives only for value-added essentials to be built-in will be demonstrated by our industry specialists in Servo Drives and Motion Control at PackEx India, from November 14-16, 2014 in the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai (Hall 1/G01).

Kollmorgen servo controllers now feature up to 48 A output current

At Bottero Group, KOLLMORGEN’s AKD series drives perform multiple functions With the “Titan” series, Bottero Group developed a fully automated plant for glass processing that performs bilateral grinding of pane edges. The grinder is composed of a large frame that allows the standard processing of sheets with different sizes and shapes without any operation modifications. The main objective during the design process was to create the simplest, most fully automated driving system without jeopardizing its efficiency. To achieve this aim, Bottero developed in co-operation with KOLLMORGEN a solution that is based on a single AKD servo-converter for driving two servo-motors that are not simultaneously operating.

Decentralizing servo technology can bring machine and plant construction savings during installation. Two additional advantages include reduced cabinet heat loads and more straight forward drive architecture. The question arises however, which technology is better, an integrated motor/drive solution or a detached motor and drive?
