Supplier FAQs

• Many suppliers ask about the relationship between our company names (Kollmorgen, Pacific Scientific, Inland Motor, Industrial Drives, Danaher Motion). For those suppliers who do not work with us frequently, understanding these names may be confusing.
  
  Danaher Motion is a trade name. Kollmorgen is a corporation and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Danaher Corporation. Pacific Scientific is a separate corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Danaher Corporation. For legal purposes, our contractual documents (contracts, Purchase Orders, invoices, etc.) still carry the specific entity from which the activity is being conducted.
  Danaher is pushing the 'Danaher Motion' trade name to gain recognition in the market place. It is preferred to refer to ourselves with this name when speaking with entities outside of the organization. However, Danaher Motion is not a legal entity, so we cannot enter into any contractual agreements under that name.
  There no longer exists either an Inland Motor or Industrial Drives as a trade name or legal entity. These used to be separate divisions of Kollmorgen Corporation and traded and entered into legal agreements under these names. These names are sometimes used internally when referring to a specific facility in Radford, VA.

• On the Pacific Scientific parts, suppliers sometimes confuse the revision level of the drawings with the revision level of the part numbers.
  
  Engineering in Wilmington does things differently. Each part number has a revision level. Each part number also has a drawing number (if it is a custom part) with a separate revision level. The drawing number is slightly different than the part number. For example:
  Part number 154-033030-01 Rev 1
  Drawing # 9-54-033030 Rev 4
  When the Purchase Order is issued, it lists the part number with revision level but does not list the drawing number and revision. Referring to the example, suppliers will call and say they are building to Rev 4 and ask why our Purchase Order still lists Rev 1. However, the revision level listed on the Purchase Order corresponds to the part number instead of the drawing number.
