• The specialist provider of servo drive technology and motion control unveiled the new second-generation AKD servo amplifier concept – a concept that has plenty to offer in terms of safety. 
• When safety technology kicks in faster and there are more functions available, man and machine together can work even more closely. The new range of products is planned to launch in 2017. It features include new processors which increase the computational power available which supports faster control performance. 
• From a safety perspective, AKD2G amplifier will offer important safety functions in the form of Safe Brake Control (SBC) and Safe Brake Test (SBT), which offers an efficient and cost-effective way of making vertical axes safe without the need for protective fences.
