Kollmorgen: Expert in the field of motion control

"I am very fortunate to be a member of Kollmorgen and have witnessed the company's 100th anniversary celebration. We will also bring cutting-edge and top industry benchmark solutions to China, and will always be close to the needs of Chinese users." Kollmorgen China And Liu Weifeng, general manager of Southeast Asia, said at the 2018 World Robotics Conference.

I believe that many people have seen the movie "Titanic", which tells a poignant love story and has become a sad history. Behind the story, the salvage of the sunken ship has been carried out for decades. Because the Titanic sank in the deep seabed, the requirements for salvage equipment are very high, so the equipment preparation is very rigorous, and Kollmorgen is the successful candidate. One of the companies that provide deep-water salvage robot drive.

Not only did Kollmorgen go to the five oceans to fish for ships, but Kollmorgen could also go to the moon for nine days. The motors in the spacecraft that landed on Mars in the United States were also built by Kollmorgen. The most popular surgical robots in recent years have basically adopted Kollmorgen motors. Such a century-old multinational enterprise with such a story makes people full of curiosity and awe.

The fact is that Kollmorgen's motors, drives and controllers have been widely used in Mars and space exploration, ships and submarines, oil and gas drilling and metering, surgical robots and laser eye surgery, and even artificial hearts.

We always say that you can't make everyone like you, and there will always be someone who can't get along with you. But in the industry, Kollmorgen can meet the special requirements of equipment manufacturers with high-performance and high-quality products, firmly occupying the "atrium" of those machines. "Customization is our standard, as long as it does not violate the physical principles, Kollmorgen can basically do it." Liu Weifeng said.

For a long time, Kollmorgen has been tirelessly doing one thing, using precise motion control systems and servo systems to help innovators achieve innovation and product differentiation. Because of this, Kollmorgen can witness the development process of motion control in the past century.

"All of Kollmorgen's business contacts are application engineers." Liu Weifeng said in a sentence why Kollmorgen has been able to communicate with innovators for a long time. Providing products is only Kollmorgen's most basic service. It is Kollmorgen's strength to deal with different practical application problems in the later stage and to provide optimized solutions. Looking at this now, it is the so-called joint research and development.

More than 100 years since its establishment, Kollmorgen has accumulated a wealth of practical experience, all of which correspond to very precious production data. On the basis of a huge database, Kollmorgen can form countless solutions that can quickly respond to customer needs, which has become Kollmorgen's competitive advantage.

"For example, Kollmorgen’s latest AKM2G new generation servo motor is a model. This new product integrates Kollmorgen’s world’s latest electromagnetic design technology and motor production technology. There are more than 200,000 permutations and combinations, of which 50% The product can be delivered in two weeks, which can be said to define a new industry standard for servo motors."

In fact, Kollmorgen's delivery speed is known for its high efficiency in the industry. Not only AKM2G, Kollmorgen can deliver thousands of COTS products in 2 weeks or less. At the same time, it is also a leader in the industry in terms of rapid customization and new designs.

To ensure such an efficient supply, in addition to the advantages of the technology itself, Kollmorgen has made great efforts in localization. Kollmorgen is rooted locally, not only in local manufacturing, local production, and the construction of a local customer service center, but also in the localization of the team. Whether it is from the application engineers behind to the front-line sales and after-sales service personnel, or from the executives of Chinese companies to the grassroots employees, local talents are basically used to the maximum.

According to Liu Weifeng, Kollmorgen's Tianjin plant is expanding the second phase of the plant and is expected to start production in the second quarter of 2019. The expansion of the Tianjin plant means that Kollmorgen will be further localized in China and will be closer to the needs of domestic customers.

Motion control system is the core of machines, vehicles and equipment, just like the human central nervous system, it is indispensable to coordinate and adjust the overall activities.

For machine manufacturers in the fields of printing, packaging, paper processing, etc., motion control can make the factory floor more stable and effective, and make the machine more productive. Motion control can improve quality and accuracy, while improving operator safety. Motion control can promote sustainable development and reduce the scrap rate. For the aviation and defense industries, motion control can meet extremely demanding normal operation and complex environment requirements. Motion control can also enable the operating room to accurately control drugs to improve efficacy. Motion control can make elevators more stable and safer, warehouses more efficient, heavy equipment more flexible, and energy cleaner, cheaper and renewable.

Kollmorgen realized this and listed the motion control system as the core of the company. Kollmorgen has accumulated more than 70 years of professional experience in the field of motion control design and research and development, which can meet the most stringent motor and motion control requirements, and provide breakthrough solutions for global OEM machine manufacturers to achieve unparalleled Performance, reliability and convenience.

Liu Weifeng mentioned that Kollmorgen’s customers are leaders and innovators in many industries, such as aerospace, printing and packaging, food and beverage processing, medical imaging, in vitro diagnostics and laboratory automation, pharmaceuticals, material forming and cutting, petroleum and Natural gas, robots, etc. In the development of cooperation with them, Kollmorgen has become an expert in the field of motion control.

It is worth mentioning that Kollmorgen also has innovative new tricks in the field of robotics. Kollmorgen does not make robots, but only provides customers with key robot technology and component solutions, but it can help customers quickly develop industry benchmark robots.

At the 2018 World Robotics Conference, Kollmorgen demonstrated to the world the achievements of this industry benchmark robot solution, including robot motion control technology, automatic guided vehicle (AGV) one-stop solution, and one-step robot joint solution Program.

Among them, the RGM robot joint module is specially designed for collaborative robots and light robots below 10Kg. It is highly integrated, including frameless direct drive torque motors, low voltage DC drives, harmonic reducers, brakes and dual feedback devices, reducing the customer’s personnel and time investment in mechanical selection, design, and assembly, simplifying supply chain management and The comprehensive cost of quality management makes the development of robots simple, fast and safe, and helps Chinese robot manufacturers to speed up product launches and create truly competitive domestic robots.

Kollmorgen has also made achievements in automatic warehousing, and its application range includes a complete set of automated guided vehicle system (AGV) hardware, software, vehicle control and autonomous operations. NDC Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) one-stop solution, with a reliable and scalable platform, and a tried-and-tested business model. Only a set of solutions is needed to turn the vehicle into an AGV or automatic handling robot.

The industrial control editor learned that in Nanjing, Kollmorgen and Yifeng cooperated to build the first automatic robot parking lot in China. The car owner can scan the QR code with his mobile phone to let the robot help in and out of the warehouse without having to find a parking space by himself. . This is a step forward both at home and abroad.
