Built to Perform
The AC7 motor controllers leverage the latest in AC control technologies to ensure high operating efficiency across a wide power range. Meanwhile, the DC7 motor controllers bring modern DC control techniques to bear, enabling high-precision acceleration and deceleration in both directions. Both families support regenerative braking and are equipped with a feedback interface for incremental encoders.
Engineered for AGV and AMR Environments
Every AC7 and DC7 motor controller is housed in a robust IP65-rated enclosure, offering superior protection against dust, moisture, and physical impact. Integrated mounting flanges and a streamlined connector layout allow for a simple and secure installation in tight vehicle designs.
Seamless Integration with Kollmorgen Ecosystem
Both AC7 and DC7 motor controllers interface directly with other Kollmorgen vehicle products via CAN bus, streamlining system setup and enabling complete motion control synchronization. Designers also benefit from a full suite of general-purpose I/O, along with digital outputs that feature built-in current and voltage control, as well as freewheeling diodes for added reliability.
Key Features of the AC7 and DC7 Motor Controllers
• Built-in speed and position regulators for steering and traction
• Regenerative braking support
• Feedback interface for incremental encoder
• General-purpose I/O with protected digital outputs
• Seamless CAN bus integration with Kollmorgen systems
• IP65-rated enclosure for harsh environments
• Autotuning support (AC7)
With the AC7 and DC7 motor controllers, Kollmorgen shows its commitment to empowering the future of intelligent vehicle automation. Whether you're building new AGV/AMR platforms or upgrading existing fleets, the AC7 and DC7 motor controllers provide the control foundation to take performance further.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
