Kollmorgen’s KDN (Kollmorgen Developer Network) has improved the usability and enhanced the features of its online developer community. KDN content focuses on AKD® series servo drives, PCMM™ and AKD PDMM™ controllers, the Kollmorgen Automation Suite™ (KAS), and Kollmorgen servo and direct drive motors. The site also provides information and support for Kollmorgen legacy products.
“KDN has been a useful tool and friendly community of collaboration solution since we launched it as an experiment three years ago to better serve our customers,” says Mark Duckwitz, Technical Communications Manager. “With the tremendous growth in user activity, we quickly recognized the need to scale KDN to the next level by adding more product support and improving the user experience. The new site provides significant improvements to further help our customers such as: responsive design for viewing on mobile devices, improved knowledge base layout for finding information, updated community for easier collaboration, and support for future kollmorgen.com migration for a centralized location for all Kollmorgen information.”
