Features:
- Converts a standard ±10V analog input into precise digital torque and velocity control for brushless motors.
- Accepts resolver or incremental encoder signals, supporting a wide range of legacy Kollmorgen motor models.
- A slim "bookstyle" chassis format (approx. 70mm wide) designed for high-density panel mounting.
Before industrial Ethernet (EtherCAT, Profinet) became standard, motion controllers (like PMAC or Delta Tau) used analog outputs. The 13K-0117 is optimized for this, acting as an "intelligent amplifier." It accepts a high-resolution ±10V analog signal (let's say +8V equals 3000 RPM). It includes customizable trapezoidal S-curve acceleration limits, which smooth out aggressive commands from the controller, protecting your mechanical transmission.
Unlike simple drives that only accept a tachometer, the 13K-0117 supports resolver-based commutation for rugged motors (typical of the 13K line). This results in high torque at zero speed (holding torque). However, mixing 3rd party motors is tricky, as the proprietary "Motor Commissioning" software is required to create the necessary commutation tables.
The chassis is designed to handle ambient temperatures up to 55°C. The aluminum base acts as a heatsink, meaning no external fan is strictly needed for intermittent duty cycles. When these drives are installed in pairs with zero gap, they can safely share the thermal load, maximizing space efficiency within the electrical cabinet.
The 13K-0117 KOLLMORGEN Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL)by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Precision Semiconductor Handling: Deployed inside pick-and-place gantry robots, wafer indexing stages, and wire-bonding machinery requiring continuous, high-dynamic micro-positioning.
- Medical Imaging and Laboratory Automation: Integrated into quiet, low-cogging motor housings for CT scanners, MRI bed positioning actuators, and automated high-throughput liquid handling systems.
- High-Speed Packaging & Labeling: Used in continuous packaging lines to drive synchronized electronic gating systems, flying cut-offs, and continuous rotary labeling heads.
- Aerospace & Defense Simulator Cradles: Applied in multi-axis motion simulation tables, multi-degree-of-freedom gimbal platforms, and automated test equipment (ATE) tracking components.
- Dual-Channel Safe Torque Off (STO): Fully compatible with safety interlock configurations (achieving SIL2/Cat 3 PL d up to SIL3/PL e depending on the host drive model).
- Thermal Foldback Protection (IL.FOLDBACK): Tracks \(I^{2}t\) current accumulation over time.
- Feedback Signal Integrity Checks: The drive monitors signal amplitude, tracking errors, and communication parity lines for the integrated encoder/resolver. Faults such as broken lines or encoder disk contamination trigger immediate Fault F501 (Feedback Communication Fault) loops to lock out movement.
- Mounting Tolerance and Thermal Heat Sinking: Ensure flat, clean contact between the component mounting flange and the machine frame to allow heat dissipation. Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten all structural fasteners according to metric design prints.
- Connector Alignment: When mating circular or rectangular field junctions, verify that the locking keys fit correctly before twisting or securing. Forcing misaligned pins can ruin the gold plating or short the low-voltage sensor inputs.
