SP10600-S001 by Kollmorgen

The SP10600-S001 is a servo amplifier produced by Kollmorgen for the SP Servostar Servo Drives series. It converts fixed-frequency input power into a controlled three-phase output that regulates torque and speed in brushless servo motors used on packaging stations, pick-and-place axes, and other positioning equipment. Dedicated analog and logic supplies inside the unit power signal conditioning and digital control, allowing the drive to coordinate with external motion controllers over standard command interfaces while maintaining the compact cabinet footprint common in modular automation cells.

This model supplies a continuous shaft power of 1.1 kW when powered from a 115 VAC single-phase source and reaches 2.2 kW on a 230 VAC three-phase line, providing flexibility for different power sources without requiring hardware changes. Its thermal design supports a rated motor phase output of 6 A RMS, while the current loop can surge to 12 A for two seconds to start high-inertia loads or overcome static friction during indexing moves. Modulation is handled by an insulated-gate transistor bridge that switches at 16 kHz; this high carrier frequency reduces audible noise and minimizes torque ripple in the servo motor. An analog input path scaled at 1.70 A/V interprets ±10 V velocity or torque commands, while the logic rails stabilize the internal processors at 8 VDC with a 0.2 A draw.

Closed-loop monitoring relies on a current feedback channel calibrated at 2.12 A/V, enabling the control algorithm to compare commanded and actual phase currents in real time. The power stage disconnects when the DC bus reaches an overvoltage threshold of 430 VDC or the heat sink reaches 118 °C, helping prevent semiconductor damage. During normal operation, the chassis dissipates 84 W internally, a value used to determine panel ventilation or cooling-plate requirements. Additional supervision trips the drive below 90 VDC during power-up, and the 32 kHz motor-current ripple value supports electromagnetic compatibility planning for feedback cabling.
