Kollmorgen PCMM: Programmable Controller, Multi-Axis Master

Powerful Motion Controller in Small and Simple Package

From complete manufacturing lines to small, automated desktop machines, OEMs want

a controls platform that scales to meet a broad range of requirements. The PCMM™

programmable motion controller delivers a small yet powerful and cost-effective hardware

platform ideally suited for modular or stand-alone machines that want the maximum in

flexibility and performance.

The PCMM controller is programmed using Kollmorgen Automation Suite’s (KAS)

Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and is plug-and-play compatible with

Kollmorgen’s broad range of  motion control solutions.

KAS will help you reduce development time through easy-to-use and

programming interface, built in utilities and configuration screens, and single

click simulation.
