Kollmorgen Introduces New ServoStar 600 Motor and Drive System

March 26, 2000 by Jeff Shepard

Kollmorgen Corp. (Radford, VA) introduced a new motor and drive system for 230V and 480V applications. The ServoStar 600 expands the company's existing amplifier line and is matched to the Kollmorgen GoldLine XT Series servomotor. Typical applications for the system are material handling, packaging and printing.

The ServoStar 600 has current ratings of 3A to 20A, with an integrated power supply. Its voltage flexibility (either 230V or 480V input) allows machine designers to use the amplifier with their current 230V systems, and easily upgrade to 400V or 480V operation without changing the drive cabinet. The amplifier uses sinewave commutation technology to provide smooth, precise low-speed control and high-speed operation. Multi-drop configurations allow a PC or PLC to communicate to the amplifiers through a single RS-232 connection.
