Welcome to the Kollmorgen
Engineer's Library

Here you'll find technical white papers, best practices and other resources to help you envision, design and realize a truly differentiated machine. We'll be updating the Engineer's Library several times per year, so check in often.

You may download as many Kollmorgen white papers as you like. Fill out the form at the right to access the files.

Achieve Superior Servo Performance, Quickly, with Auto-Tuning

Compliance in transmission components tends to decouple the load's inertia from the servo system at higher frequencies. First-generation auto-tuners didn't take this "rubber band effect" into account, and even the best tuning specialists need lots of time and a little luck to get optimum performance. Kollmorgen's chief engineer of servo technology, George Ellis, explains how full-frequency auto-tuning can achieve perfect performance in a matter of minutes.

How Today's Flexible Digital Servo Drives Help OEMs Build a Better Machine, Faster

High-performance digital servo drives can increase machine throughput, support more sophisticated functionality and reduce commissioning time. In this white paper, Carroll Wontrop, Kollmorgen's senior system engineer, discusses the selection criteria for servo drives in various architectures and applications. Then he tours the AKD™ servo drive features that can simplify integration and ensure quality in virtually any application.

Direct Drive Technology Improves Flexo Printing Quality and Throughput

The highest quality flexographic printing machines use direct drive rotary motors to control and synchronize the motion of the anilox roller and plate cylinder. Tom England, Kollmorgen's director of global product planning, explores the advantages in terms of machine assembly, maitenance, throughput, accuracy, operational costs and more. It's an exemplary case study on the benefits of direct drive for any machine that requires perfectly coordinated motion.
