Hybrid Automation Solutions

Product catalog summary

Introduction
AMKmotion is a company specializing in electric drive systems, aiming to provide innovative and sustainable solutions in industrial mechanical and plant engineering. The company emphasizes a combination of centralized and decentralized automation solutions to enhance efficiency and flexibility in machine design.

Hybrid Automation Solutions
The document discusses the trend towards modularization in mechanical engineering, leading to the division of processes into subprocesses. This necessitates the use of decentralized drive concepts, while some power-intensive processes still require centralized configurations. AMKmotion advocates for hybrid automation solutions that combine both centralized and decentralized systems to leverage the benefits of each.

Centralized Solutions
The A-series motion controllers are designed for high-precision synchronization of servo axes and include programming, visualization, and motion control. The KE power supplies and KW inverters provide scalable performance and functional safety. The KHY hybrid distributor acts as an interface between central and decentralized technologies, offering protection and monitoring capabilities.

Decentralized Solutions
Decentralized solutions can operate independently or in conjunction with centralized systems. The iSA motion controller manages machine segments and can serve as a gateway to higher-level controllers. The iC converter and iX inverter provide power and control directly at the motor, while the iDT integrates the motor and inverter into a compact unit. The ihXT servo motors feature a hybrid cable system for efficient connectivity and cost savings.

Consulting, Training, and Service
AMKmotion offers consulting services to optimize drive and control systems, saving engineering resources and costs. Their training programs cover both theoretical and practical aspects of drive and control technology, tailored to individual project needs. Comprehensive service support is available from planning to installation and operation.

Company Overview

Flexible & Combinable Due to the modularization in mechanical engineering, processes are being functionally and spatially divided into subprocesses. As a result, drives are moving ever closer to where the action takes place – a perfect environment for decentralized drive concepts. On the contrary: regardless of where computing and controlling take place, the surefire recipe for efficiency gains is to combine both solutions, thereby combining the benefits of each. AMKmotion also develops and manufactures special customized motors to meet your individual requirements. Then again, there are clearly...

Central Drive Solutions Decentral Drive Solutions The motion controllers of the A-series are available as compact switch cabinet motion controllers and include programming in Codesys, visualization and motion control in one. The A-series ensures highprecision synchronization of servo axes – even across multiple levels. The decentralized drive solutions can be operated in a hybrid manner in connection to a centralized switch cabinet or as stand-alone units without a switch cabinet: The decentralized iSA motion controller performs the complete control of a machine segment. Furthermore the iSA can...
