With the introduction of these new features, Kollmorgen has broadened its offerings to additionally support PROFINET IRT and Ethernet\/IP with CIP Sync alongside CANopen\u00ae*, EtherCAT\u00ae*, and FSoE time-synchronized communication protocols. Each protocol is rigorously tested with a variety of motion controllers and certified by industry standards organizations.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,helvetica,arial; font-size: small;\">The Motion Control AKD2G servo drive update allows for synchronized motion between multiple drives using a wide variety of control architectures. Thanks to its flexibility and high performance, AKD2G is the ideal drive for use in applications that require highly precise coordination across multiple axes of motion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,helvetica,arial; font-size: small;\">The drive features industry-leading power density in a compact package and is easy to mount \u2014 with one- and two-axis variants available. Engineers can leverage single-cable Smart Feedback Device (SFD) or HIPERFACE\u00ae* DSL connections, or choose from a wide range of other feedback devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,helvetica,arial; font-size: small;\">Finally, the drive features an optional SafeMotion\u00ae\u2122 Monitor (SMM) firmware with a safety level of SIL3\/PLe to meet functional safety needs and enable a wider range of applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,helvetica,arial; font-size: small;\">The Motion Control AKD2G paired with AKM2G motors is part of the 2G Motion System, a suite of motion products designed to work together for ultimate ease of setup and higher performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,helvetica,arial; font-size: small;\">Engineers also can take advantage of the drive\u2019s compatibility with a wider range of controllers and feedback devices \u2014 or with other motors, as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,helvetica,arial; font-size: small;\">For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electromate.com\/akd2g-series-servo-drive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.electromate.com\/akd2g-series-servo-drive\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: verdana,helvetica,arial; font-size: small;\"><b>About Electromate:<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,helvetica,arial; font-size: small;\">Electromate specializes in robotic, mechatronic, and motion control solutions.
