“We offer standard solutions too, of course – but in a lot of the projects we’re involved with, things get very demanding. We work closely with our customers to define the optimal architecture for every axis,” says Peter Giesche, Vice President International Sales at AMKmotion. Just how flexibly the manufacturer of electric drive systems is able to respond will be shown in Las Vegas.
At Booth S46059, Automation Pavillion (South Hall, Level 2), AMKmotion will demonstrate servo motors with high levels of power density and efficiency. They can be precisely adapted based on their winding and frame size, for example.
With a current range from 1 to 500 amps, AMKmotion covers the entire spectrum of drive solutions. Users always get the perfect solution – never oversized – and this has a positive impact on costs.
AMKmotion offers both central and decentralized drive solutions – and also combines both approaches to create hybrid systems. This increases energy efficiency and flexibility, simplifies cabling and creates space in the switch cabinet.
A prime example of application-specific flexibility is the SKT hollow shaft motors designed for high axial loads. Depending on the application, they are available with a blind hole for short strokes or with a through hollow shaft for unlimited stroke lengths. By optimally matching the screw and motor, force and speed can be perfectly aligned to the application requirements.
Trade fair highlights include new and refined solutions – among them the ihD, a decentralized servo inverter with single-cable wiring for daisy-chain connection: power, STO (Safe Torque Off), 24 volts and communication all run through a single cable, reducing wiring costs by up to 70 percent compared to centralized concepts. With the control electronics built into the motor, the ihD-DT5 is easier than ever to set up. In recognition of this concept, the servo inverter received two product awards from renowned industry magazines in 2025 and 2026.
In addition to this there is the KE/KW system: the compact power supply (KE) generates the DC bus voltage and powers the compact inverter (KW). The hybrid distributor (KHY) bundles signals and supply voltages from the central level and acts as an interface to the decentralized domain.
Visitors will be able to experience the solutions live at the booth. AMKmotion shows how the hybrid components mesh to create compact and flexible automation solutions – often without the need for a switch cabinet.
At FABTECH, AMKmotion demonstrates how decentralized drive technology accelerates and simplifies automation. Applications such as gripping, bending, cutting and welding demand maximum dynamics within minimal installation space. In order to make this happen, the inverter is mounted directly on or close to the motor. In combination with a decentralized power supply, an integrated motion controller, and a synchronous servo motor, this creates a compact mechatronic unit that reduces wiring and saves space in the switch cabinet – a key advantage when it comes to efficiency and flexibility.
