Kollmorgen Expands P8000 Series with P80360 Stepper Drive
This new drive brings advanced functionality to the series, including closed-loop position control and full programmability, combining the precision of servo systems with the reliability and simplicity of stepper technology.
RADFORD, VA., December 20, 2024 — Kollmorgen has announced the launch of the P80360 stepper drive, the latest addition to its P8000 series. This new drive brings advanced functionality to the series, including closed-loop position control and full programmability, combining the precision of servo systems with the reliability and simplicity of stepper technology.
Key Features of the P80360 Stepper Drive
• Stepless Control Technology: Like other drives in the P8000 series, the P80360 delivers smooth, quiet operation and consistent performance across a broad speed range.
• Closed-Loop Position Control: Incorporates encoder feedback to correct overshoot or undershoot errors automatically, enhancing precision and reducing risks of scrap or equipment damage. This feature also improves energy efficiency by optimizing motor operation and reducing heat generation.
• Programmability: Fully programmable through Kollmorgen Space software, enabling point-to-point movements and complex motion sequences without requiring an external PLC or indexer.
• Ease of Setup: Includes a Motor Wizard tool for quick machine setup with Kollmorgen motors, requiring only basic input parameters such as velocity and acceleration.
Applications and Compatibility
The P80360 stepper drive supports stepper motors with phase currents up to 3.0 Arms (4.2Apk) and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
• Labeling systems
• Indexing tables
• CNC machines
• XYZ gantry systems (e.g., 3D printers)
• Packaging machines
• Medical laboratory equipment
• Pumps
Kollmorgen's Commitment to Quality
The P8000 series, including the P80360, is certified for CE, RoHS, and REACH standards and offers unparalleled precision for motors powered by 100 to 240 VAC single-phase power.

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.
