These additions to the company’s AKD line of Ethernet-based servo drives enable machine builders to standardize on a single drive family with a common graphical user interface across the power range (up to 24 Arms continuous and 48 Arms peak). The AKD PDMM combines a high-performance multi-axis motion controller, complete IEC61131-3 soft PLC, EtherCAT master, and AKD servo drive in a single compact package, which enables OEMs to reduce machine costs, reduce panel space by 50% or more and simplify wiring and integration, while increasing system flexibility, scalability, and motion performance. The drive is suggested for applications needing precise synchronization of multiple axes of motion. The AKD BASIC incorporates a programmable single-axis motion controller into the existing AKD drive footprint, enabling OEMs to build a more compact and cost-effective machine by eliminating the need for a separate PLC. The registration correction, camming, s-curve and free-form motion profile capabilities delivered by the integrated motion controller, combined with the simplicity of BASIC programming language and a built-in program editor with debugging tools, enables machine builders to reduce development time by up to 70% and to execute complex processes, faster than is possible with conventional servo drive-based options.
