Technical Specifications

Solving the Discontinued Hardware Crisis

The Kollmorgen AKD series was widely deployed across precision manufacturing, semiconductor handling, medical device assembly, and packaging automation throughout the 2010s. Its EtherCAT-based architecture and SFD feedback integration made it a preferred choice for high-throughput, multi-axis systems. When Kollmorgen transitioned its product roadmap, facilities running AKD-based lines were left with a hard choice: absorb the cost of a full drive system migration, or maintain the existing infrastructure with verified spare inventory.

Maintenance managers operating legacy AKD installations should treat this unit as a long-cycle asset, not a consumable. Procurement of 1 to 3 units as cold spares — stored under proper environmental conditions — is the lowest-cost strategy available for protecting an otherwise functional and fully amortized automation system.

Condition & Reliability Assurance

Every AKD-P00606-NBEC-0069 unit shipped by DriveKNMS passes a structured 5-step inspection protocol developed specifically for discontinued servo drives:

• Step 1 – Electrolytic Capacitor Assessment: Capacitors are the primary failure point in stored servo drives. Each unit is inspected for capacitor bulging, electrolyte leakage, and ESR deviation. Units with aged capacitors are either reconditioned or rejected.
• Step 2 – Firmware Version Verification: The onboard firmware version is confirmed and documented. Compatibility with the customer's existing AKD WorkBench configuration is verified prior to shipment where possible.
• Step 3 – Pin and Connector Corrosion Inspection: All I/O connectors, feedback ports, and power terminals are inspected under magnification for oxidation, pin deformation, and contact resistance anomalies.
• Step 4 – Functional Power-On Test: Units are powered and tested for drive enable response, fault code behavior, and communication handshake where test infrastructure permits.
• Step 5 – Packaging for Long-Term Storage: Units are sealed in anti-static packaging with desiccant and labeled with inspection date and condition grade before dispatch review.

Key Features for System Maintenance

• Drop-in Replacement: The AKD-P00606-NBEC-0069 is a direct hardware replacement for any failed unit of the same part number. No motor re-sizing, no new cabling, no re-engineering of the motion program.
• No Reprogramming Required: AKD WorkBench parameter files (.akd) can be restored directly to the replacement unit. Commissioning time is measured in hours, not weeks.
• Avoids Engineering Reconstruction Costs: Substituting a different drive family requires full motion re-validation. This unit eliminates that risk entirely.
• EtherCAT Network Compatibility: Maintains existing EtherCAT topology without node reconfiguration on the master controller.
• Protects Amortized Capital Assets: Extends the productive life of a fully depreciated automation system without triggering a capital replacement cycle.

Q: Can you supply the AKD WorkBench software or parameter backup?
A: We can advise on firmware compatibility. For parameter backup and restoration, your existing AKD WorkBench installation handles this natively. Contact us if you need guidance.
