Product Description:

The AKD-P00606-NBS3-0000 is a digital servo drive manufactured by Kollmorgen and placed within the AKD Servo Drives series. Intended for cabinet mounting beside a compatible motion controller, the unit regulates three-phase servo motors in closed-loop positioning tasks. By converting AC mains power to a controlled output and coordinating feedback over deterministic networks, it forms the intermediate power stage between low-voltage control logic and the electromechanical actuator on an automated axis. This arrangement lets the controller issue motion commands while the drive manages motor current, speed, and position feedback at the axis level during continuous industrial operation.

It is delivered in the Position Indexer version, meaning the internal controller can execute standalone position tables and incremental moves without an external PLC. The power section accepts single-phase or three-phase mains at 120/240 VAC, and under continuous duty the drive supplies up to 6 Arms to the motor for normal servo operation. For short acceleration bursts, it can deliver 18 Arms for five seconds, allowing extra torque during rapid starts, indexing moves, or brief load steps. Communication and synchronization are handled through SERCOS III, giving sub-millisecond cycle times and precise time stamping for coordinated multi-axis systems across synchronized packaging and assembly equipment. The current ratings suit compact servo packages used in repetitive motion applications.

The drive’s input stage is rated at 2.38 kVA, so the cabinet supply must furnish that apparent power during full-load operation. This unit ships in the Standard USA variant, so regulatory markings, mains pinout, and default parameter sets align with North American installations. No optional expansion boards are fitted, and the expansion slot is listed as none on revision 8 and later units. The unused slot leaves the base drive configuration intact. A mass of 1.1 kg eases mounting on DIN rails or back plates and keeps the mechanical load low inside compact control cabinets.
