IMS Gear relies on Kollmorgen's motion control solution for its test bench technology - AKM servo motors. One of the typical tasks on the test benches involves simulating loads, as Thomas Sautter, Kollmorgen Europe, explains... Employees in the test room constantly face the challenge of testing components and assemblies before the peripheral equipment associated with these - i.e. the subsequent overall product - is even available for real. When employees are testing power assisted steering for instance, driving situations need to be simulated precisely even though the associated car is not even on the market yet. Gear and transmission specialist, IMS Gear uses servo drives from Kollmorgen to represent authentic original situations on its test benches. The range of tests is a diverse one, requiring creative designs and with high standards related to the control technology.
