Product Description:

The AKD-P00306-NBEC-0069 is a servo drive from Kollmorgen for motion-control cabinets that use the AKD Servo Drives series to regulate brushless and induction motors. As a position indexer, it sends precise trajectory commands to a compatible motor and returns feedback data to the upper-level controller. This makes the unit suitable for pick-and-place axes, material feeders, and indexing tables in automated lines. It is intended for cabinet-mounted motion systems where coordinated speed, torque, and position control must be handled by a compact drive package.

This drive version is classified as a Position Indexer, which means it includes internal position loops so the host PLC can send simple move commands instead of raw torque references. Network integration is handled through EtherCAT, allowing deterministic update cycles and distributed clock synchronization with other devices on the machine segment. Continuous motor current is limited to 3 Arms, which is the sustainable RMS output during normal operation. Short acceleration or deceleration events can draw up to 9 Arms for as long as five seconds, giving added torque when the load rises briefly. The power section is sized for a steady-state input of 1.2 kVA, indicating the expected electrical demand during regular use.

The input stage accepts 120 / 240 Vac 1~/3~ power, so the drive can be wired for either single-phase or three-phase supply arrangements. This gives the machine builder flexibility when the same platform is used with different facility power sources. For the hardware extension, the unit is listed as None (rev 8+), so no optional I/O or safety plug-in is installed. The standard-width drive has a mass of 1.1 kg, which keeps the cabinet load relatively low. Its compact format is useful where panel space is limited and wiring needs to remain straightforward.
