Reduce cabling by up to 80%
03 February 2014
Offering reduced cabling requirements, smaller control cabinets, greater design freedom, lower machine complexity and higher OEE (overall equipment effectiveness), Kollmorgen AKD-N distributed servo drives from INMOCO can reap cable reductions of over 80%, depending on the application.
Multiple AKD-N servo drives can be distributed around a machine in close proximity to individual motors, and connected back to a single central power module via a single cable.
The hybrid cable provides DC axis connection, power, fieldbus communications (EtherCAT), I/O and safety (STO). The result is a vastly simplified machine design and increased reliability, with more flexible mounting and reduced complexity.
