Motion System Software Simplifies Drive Selection

The Motioneering 6.1.0 motion system sizing and selection software from Kollmorgen is an OEM design tool that uses a mechanism project concept to collect and save axes load information, automatically calculate application results and compare those results against a database catalog of Kollmorgen products for identifying the linear or rotary motion system solutions for meeting specific machine builder application requirements. Version 6.1.0 features various product updates, including new Kollmorgen products such as the KBM Series Frameless Brushless Motors and the AKD servo drive family. The software aims to simplify specification of frameless motors and drive systems.

Motioneering 6.1.0 features a Help file that explains the program functions, defines terms and algorithms used to perform application results. The software is appropriate for international machine designs with various units of measurement options for mechanism and motion profile data entry, as well as the ability to convert data into other available units. In rotary applications, the software sums the effects of multiple axes of motion for correctly sizing the power supply and shunt regeneration.

The software upgrade features a PDF generator that creates a complete report of applications results, system and product specifications and system performance and user-profile curves with application placement within the plot once application results are performed and system selections are made.

Motioneering 6.1.0 is compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.0.
