Kollmorgen launched the P80360 stepper drive, the most recent addition to its flagship P8000 stepper platform. Like different drives within the sequence, the P80360 incorporates stepless management know-how to ship easy, quiet movement and optimum efficiency throughout the complete velocity vary. Moreover, the P80360 stepper drive presents closed-loop place management and is totally programmable, enabling servo-like versatility, precision and repeatability in a stepper drive.
Along with open-loop stall detection, the P80360 drive presents the power to trace load place by way of encoder suggestions and robotically right for any overshoot or undershoot errors. Closed-loop place management is helpful, for instance, in programs the place gearing, couplings or heavy hundreds lead to compliance that may trigger motor missteps. By correcting for these place errors, the P80360 actively minimizes the chance of scrap or gear harm. This characteristic has the additional advantage of enhancing effectivity, so the motor doesn’t devour as a lot electrical energy and runs cooler.
Kollmorgen will likely be showcasing its movement management merchandise in sales space 221 at RoboBusiness (Oct. 18-19 in Santa Clara, Calif,), the main occasion for industrial robotics improvement. It would even be discussing movement management fundamentals for humanoids and exoskeletons. RoboBusiness is the main occasion targeted on creating industrial robots. There will likely be 60-plus audio system, 60-plus exhibitors and demos on the expo ground, 10-plus hours of devoted networking alternatives and rather more.
The P80360 drive is totally programmable by way of an intuitive graphical person interface and programming language, obtainable inside the Kollmorgen Area software program package deal supplied as a free obtain on the Kollmorgen web site. Utilizing these instruments, engineers can create easy point-to-point actions in addition to linked movement sequences with ease. The flexibility and performance of the P80360 programming software program eliminates the necessity for an exterior PLC or indexer to carry out single-axis movement management, decreasing total system value.
Kollmorgen Area software program additionally features a Motor Wizard that permits customers with Kollmorgen motors to get their machines up and operating sooner, requiring solely enter of the preliminary profile velocities and acceleration occasions.
All P8000 sequence drives are backed by Kollmorgen’s world-class help and experience, from motor and drive choice and sizing to help with setup and troubleshooting. All drives characteristic CE, RoHS and REACH certifications.
The P80360 stepper drive can be utilized with all stepper motors with section present as much as 3.0 Arms. It’s ultimate for XYZ gantry programs and plenty of different purposes requiring easy point-to-point actions in addition to linked movement sequences.
“The most recent drive in our P8000 sequence is a game-changer for engineers trying to obtain the best precision and management in a stepper system,” stated Ross McMillan, vice chairman of engineering at Kollmorgen. “We’ll be introducing much more stepper drives with thrilling characteristic units within the close to future, so keep tuned.”
