Kollmorgen launches the advanced P8000 series with the new P80630-SDN Stepper
Drive

New, more compact drives offer greater smoothness, precision and torque density for fixed-
load, low-speed, point-to-point applications.
RADFORD, VA., 01-24-2023 — Kollmorgen, a global leader in motion control systems, today
announced the new P80630-SDN stepper drive. Customers can now benefit from features such as
smoothness, precision and torque across the full speed range in a significantly more compact
package that enables smaller, lighter, more versatile machines. Kollmorgen will also be introducing
additional stepper drives and features in the coming months, building upon the new, flagship
P8000 stepper drive platform.

The P80630-SDN stepper drive powers and controls stepper motors operating on 24 to 75 VDC
with up to 5.5 Arms current per phase (7.8 Arms peak). It’s an ideal solution for labelers, indexing
tables, CNC machines, packaging systems, pumps and other single-or multi-axis systems requiring
low-speed, point-to-point motion control for fixed loads.
Building on the success of previous Kollmorgen drives such as the 6410 and P70530, the new
P80630-SDN drive delivers improved positional accuracy as demonstrated in laboratory tests using
PMX series stepper motors. This compact, powerful new drive achieves 10% greater output
current in a 60% smaller package that is up to 34 mm shorter in height than the 6410, depending
on the model. Moreover, it reduces setup time by delivering smooth, precise performance at all
speeds without the need for electronic damping control switches.
The P80630-SDN stepper drive supports conventional single-ended or differential step and
direction interfaces (user-provided pulse train required) or CW/CCW command inputs. Dip-switch
selectable settings include motor phase current, idle current reduction and step resolution up to
1/128 microstep, all with no programming required. Dedicated enable input and fault output provide
control of the drive's power stage and error monitoring. Additional models with new features are
scheduled for release in the coming months. Selected drives will also include widely used fieldbus
protocols for integration with industry-standard motion controllers. All drives in the series are CE,
RoHS and REACH certified.

As with all Kollmorgen products, customers can count on the support they need to optimize
motor/drive selection, sizing, setup and performance. Worldwide product availability and
Kollmorgen’s proven heritage ensure long-term project success.
“The P80630-SDN is the highest-performing, most versatile stepper drive in our lineup,” said Ross
McMillan, Vice President of Engineering at Kollmorgen. “And it’s just the beginning. The new
P8000 series will soon offer an expanded range of drives to power and control Kollmorgen stepper
motors in a wide variety of applications where steppers are the best choice. It’s always exciting to
extend our lead in the motion-control industry and better serve our customers’ most challenging
requirements.”
