Kollmorgen Essentials™ Motion Systems

Get the essential motion control system features and performance you need — plus unprecedented value, rapid delivery and easy setup and configuration. The new Kollmorgen Essentials line delivers complete motion control systems, engineered to help machine designers meet practically any motion requirement and budget with ease and confidence.

With a range of size and performance options to choose from, each motion control system includes: a servo motor offered in eight power ranges; a servo drive designed to work with your choice of the industry’s most widely used Industrial-Ethernet control systems as well as with the full line of software and hardware solutions in the Kollmorgen Automation Suite; a cable in a choice of lengths, featuring single-cable power/data technology to simplify setup; and optional accessories including regen resistors, line filters and spare drive-side connectors.

Optimized features at an exceptional value

We recognize that not all axes of servo motion require the same degree of specialization. That’s why we created this new value-driven motion control system — with features optimized to meet the most prevalent application requirements.

• Standard batteryless multi-turn absolute feedback device. Get 24-bit single-turn + 16-bit multi-turn absolute feedback resolution over a proven SFD protocol interface. Complete with energy-harvesting technology to eliminate the cost and complexity of battery backup cables and onboard memory to enable plug-and-play setup for faster commissioning.

• Multilingual industrial Ethernet protocols. One harmonized drive can support practically any customer’s needs, interfacing with any of the industry’s most common communication protocols: EtherCAT®, EtherNet/IP™ or PROFINET®.

• Synchronization capabilities. The Kollmorgen Essentials motion system supports synchronous motion profiles using your choice of EtherCAT®, CIP Sync or PROFINET IRT.

Integrated functional safety features. Protect people, products and equipment with dua-channel STO SIL2/Cat 3 PL d. This feature supports emergency stops and prevents the system from restarting unexpectedly.

A quick, confident pathway to market

Our new motion control system is highly manufacturable at scale, and the most in-demand configurations are always in stock. And with plug-and-play installation, you can more easily engineer a successful machine and bring it to market quickly.

• Curated set of frame sizes and performance specifications. System offerings ranging from 200W to 4000W with ratings optimized for 120. 240. 400 or 480 VAC operation and frame sizes between 58 to 138mm.

• Highly manufacturable at scale. The most in-demand configurations are always in stock. So you can count on assured delivery of the systems you need, in the quantities you need, with short lead times.

• Plug-and-play installation. By default, the servo system is configured to work with Kollmorgen Automation Suite, but you can switch to work with third-party control system architectures using EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP or PROFINET. The new Express Setup feature in our WorkBench software makes setup, configuration and tuning simple, even for engineers with little motion experience. And the full suite of WorkBench tools is also included for more advanced motion programming and tuning tasks.
