Kollmorgen Introduces New Safe Motion Modules
Kollmorgen Safety Modules™ (KSM) help OEMs deliver higher productivity by combining Machine Safety logic and Safe Motion into one powerful package that integrates seamlessly with Functional Safety Devices
|
Kollmorgen recently launched KSM, a smart and expandable platform for machine builders to quickly and seamlessly integrate Safe Motion as part of Functional Safety-certified solutions. “Safe Motion functionality allows machines to run in a safe manner when an operator is in the workspace, without stopping the machine by STO and causing unnecessary downtime,” explains Karl Pickan, a Kollmorgen Safety certified expert.

KSM combines the functionality of a Safety PLC with Safe Motion functions into one compact system with Kollmorgen AKD® drives and automation controllers. This simplifies the integration of newer Safe Motion and sensor equipment. KSM Safety Controllers are TŰV certified for machines that require ISO 13849 PLe and IEC 61508 SIL3 level functionality.
