From simplified control to high-voltage performance up to 4 kW, the expanded Essentials™ portfolio from Kollmorgen makes it easier for OEMs and machine builders to design, deploy and scale cost-effective motion systems across a wider range of industrial applications.
Scalable Motion Control for Modern Machine Design
Kollmorgen has announced the expansion of its Essentials™ portfolio with the introduction of the PCMM2G Essentials controller and new high-voltage drive capability up to 4 kW. Together, these additions provide machine builders with greater flexibility when configuring motion systems to match application requirements, performance targets and budget considerations.
The expanded Essentials portfolio enables OEMs to right-size performance and scalability while maintaining simplified system integration and reliable motion control. By offering a broader range of configurable solutions, Kollmorgen continues to support machine builders looking to reduce engineering complexity and accelerate deployment.
New PCMM2G Essentials Controller
The new PCMM2G Essentials controller is designed for lower-axis-count applications requiring dependable multi-axis motion control at a more accessible price point.
Supporting up to eight axes, the controller delivers the same proven integration capabilities and performance as the standard PCMM2G platform while providing a streamlined solution for applications such as:
- Indexing systems
- Basic positioning applications
- Packaging machinery
- Material handling equipment
- General industrial automation systems
As part of a fully integrated Essentials motion system, the controller works seamlessly with Kollmorgen motors, drives and software to simplify machine development and commissioning.
The controller also integrates directly with the Kollmorgen Automation Suite™, providing:
- Simplified machine configuration
- Integrated motion programming
- Reduced engineering effort
- Faster commissioning
- Lifelong software updates with no incremental licensing fees
This integrated approach helps lower total cost of ownership while giving machine builders a scalable automation platform for future machine development.
High-Voltage Drive Capability up to 4 kW
Kollmorgen has also expanded the Essentials portfolio with new high-voltage drive capability supporting:
- 240–480 VAC three-phase input
- Power capability up to 4 kW
- Standard industrial power infrastructure used across Europe and North America
The increased power capability allows machine builders to deploy Essentials solutions in higher-power industrial environments without requiring external transformers or additional power adaptation hardware.
Suitable applications include:
- Automotive parts manufacturing
- Logistics and warehousing systems
- Material processing equipment
- Machine tools
- Industrial automation machinery
By simplifying power integration and improving energy efficiency, the new high-voltage capability helps reduce system complexity while expanding the range of applications supported by the Essentials platform.
Flexible, Integrated Motion Solutions
The expanded Kollmorgen Essentials™ portfolio reinforces Kollmorgen’s approach to delivering accessible, high-performance motion solutions that can scale with application requirements.
From simple positioning systems to larger industrial automation projects, OEMs can now mix and match controllers, drives and motors within a single integrated portfolio to balance:
- Performance
- Axis count
- System scalability
- Overall machine cost
This flexibility enables faster machine development and more efficient deployment while maintaining the reliability and performance expected from Kollmorgen motion control systems.
