Electromate Introduces New Kollmorgen Essentials™ Controller and High-Voltage Drive Capability for Cost-Effective Motion Control
Electromate Inc., Canada’s leading distributor of motion control, robotics, and mechatronic solutions, has announced the availability of the latest additions to the Kollmorgen Essentials™ portfolio: the new PCMM2G Essentials controller and high-voltage drive capability supporting applications up to 4 kW. The expanded portfolio offers machine builders greater scalability, simplified integration, and higher power capability for industrial applications.
Enhanced Scalability and Integration for Machine Builders
The new PCMM2G Essentials controller supports up to eight axes and delivers the proven performance of the PCMM2G platform in a solution optimized for lower-axis-count applications such as indexing, positioning, and general machine automation. By providing an economical control option for less complex systems, OEMs can better align motion system capabilities with application requirements. As part of the fully integrated Kollmorgen Essentials ecosystem, the controller seamlessly integrates with Kollmorgen servo drives, motors, and the Kollmorgen Automation Suite™ software platform. This single-supplier approach reduces engineering effort, accelerates commissioning, and lowers total cost of ownership through lifetime software updates and no incremental licensing fees.
High-Voltage Drive Extends Reach into Higher-Power Applications
Kollmorgen has also expanded the Essentials portfolio with a new high-voltage drive capability that supports 240-480 VAC three-phase power and a system output up to 4 kW. This enhancement extends the reach of Essentials into higher-power industrial applications while maintaining the simplicity and affordability that have made the platform attractive to machine builders. The high-voltage capability is particularly well suited for applications including automotive manufacturing equipment, material handling systems, logistics and warehouse automation, machine tools, and material processing machinery. By operating directly from standard industrial power infrastructure commonly found throughout North America and Europe, the new high-voltage drive eliminates the need for external transformers or power-conversion solutions, simplifying machine design and improving overall system efficiency.
Industry Perspective on the Expanded Portfolio
“The expanded Kollmorgen Essentials portfolio provides OEMs with more options to right-size their motion systems while maintaining access to the performance, reliability, and ease of integration expected from Kollmorgen solutions,” said Warren Osak, President of Electromate Inc. “Machine builders can now address a broader range of applications with a single, scalable motion platform.” The Kollmorgen Essentials portfolio combines servo motors, servo drives, controllers, software, and accessories into a streamlined motion solution designed to reduce engineering complexity while delivering reliable, high-performance motion control across a wide range of industrial applications.
