Overview Manuals Specifications Application Diagnostics Installation & Upgrades

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).

Important Notice:Other accessories,manuals,cables,calibration data,software,etc.are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description.All prices are shown in USD.
  • 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.
Description
The Kollmorgen 13K-0117 is part of the legacy Kollmorgen 13K series, designed as a fully digital servo controller for driving brushless AC motors. It is well-suited for industrial automation tasks such as indexing tables, material handling, and web processing where precise position and velocity control are required.

This 13K-0117 controller utilizes a standard analog front end, typically accepting ±10V torque/velocity commands from a motion controller. It also features digital I/O for enabling, fault monitoring, and basic sequencing. 

Like other drives in the 13K-0117, the controller includes modular feedback options to support various resolver and encoder types. The amplifier stage employs IGBT power transistors for efficient, high-frequency switching, reducing audible motor noise. 

The 13K-0117 was eventually succeeded by the S200 series (such as the S20630) and later the AKD series. However, many legacy machines still utilize these drives. While specific part number data is scarce in public databases, its characteristics align with the standard 5A or 10A rated models of the 13K line, which were widely used in packaging and general factory automation.

Technical notes
The drive is factory-configured for a specific motor type (usually resolver for 13K). Swapping a resolver motor for an encoder motor is complex and often requires a hardware commutation board change.When mounted side-by-side with other drives (zero spacing), you must derate the continuous current by 15-20%. High heatsink temperature shortens the life of the 13K units.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Is 13K-0117 a complete drive or just a logic board revision?
It is a complete drive. 13K denotes the series. Due to "Build-to-Order" nature, "13K-0117" could represent specific hardware options (e.g., 0117 is a unique config code). Always cross-reference the PCB assembly number (e.g., 13K-PWR, 13K-CTRL).
The drive occasionally trips an undervoltage fault. Is there a built-in "Power Ride-Thru" feature?
No. Early 13K drives rely on the external power supply. If the bus voltage sags below 200 VDC (for 230V units), it will fault instantly. Connect the drive directly to a stable mains supply or use a regulated line filter. Check the AC input fuse.
The drive has DB-9 and Terminal blocks. Is there a software to view internal parameters via PC?
Yes. Sold as "Kollmorgen Motioneering" (or the older "MotionLink" software package). It requires a special serial programming cable (RS-232). It does NOT support Ethernet.ort Ethernet.
