AKD PDMM Drive

The AKD PDMM™ combines a single AKD servo axis and a master controller that supports up to seven (or more) additional AKD axes in a single, compact package. It integrates control for multiple high-performance axes with I/O and HMI interfaces, and includes the full automation capabilities of the Kollmorgen Automation Suite™ – giving a single, scalable development solution for both AKD PDMM and PAC-based machines.

AKD PDMM Benefits

Reduces panel space, wiring costs and build time — eliminating the need for a separate controller in many applications
Accelerates design time and simplifies integration by using a single, scalable development environment to program up to 128 axes
Minimises risk and maximises performance with the industry-leading AKD drive hardware integrated with the proven architecture of Kollmorgen Automation Suite
Delivers advanced features in a higher-performing machine with the advantages of Pipe Network™ and Kollmorgen’s co-engineering capabilities
Build a complete system with optimal performance using drives, motors, I/O modules, HMI panels and other components designed to work together
