Kollmorgen
Kollmorgen builds servo motors, servo drives, and motion control systems for applications that demand precise positioning, tight synchronization, and repeatable speed control. The product line is used across packaging, assembly, converting, and material handling equipment, where motion accuracy and cycle consistency directly affect throughput and product quality. The core of the portfolio is the AKM and AKM2G servo motor families paired with the AKD and AKD2G servo drives. These pair to deliver high torque density, low cogging, and smooth motion across a wide speed range. The platform supports common industrial networks including EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP, so drives integrate with most third-party PLCs without forcing a controls platform change. Beyond rotary servos, Kollmorgen offers motion controllers, gear reducers, direct drive and linear motor options, and motion solutions used in automated guided vehicles and mobile robots. Servo systems earn their place when an application needs more than a fixed-speed or pneumatic actuator can provide. That includes coordinated multi-axis motion, electronic gearing and camming, fast indexing, and positioning that has to repeat to fractions of a millimeter cycle after cycle. Kollmorgen is well suited to machine builds where the motor and drive are specified separately from the controller, and where the motion has to interface cleanly with an existing PLC rather than dictate the whole control architecture.
