Distributed servo technology bends panels into better shape
Salvagnini simplifies the design of its machines using drive solutions from Kollmorgen
Making a departure from traditional drive architectures in its new P2lean generation of machines, Salvagnini the world's leading manufacturer of panel bending machines is using distributed servo amplifiers for positioning, instead of keeping drives installed centrally in the control cabinet. And with this solution, the new Kollmorgen AKD-N series generates cost savings throughout the whole value chain. Another first by the Italian machinery manufacturer: Replacing the central hydraulic pump by a synchronized network of electrically-driven servo actuators.
