When applications require accurate positioning using servo motors with different power outputs, intelligent servo motors provide a creative solution to problems that are generally thought to be unavoidable.
Motion controllers, drives, and encoders are needed in order for servo motors—both brushless and brush types—to operate.
The drive features a CAN interface and can manage step motors up to 36 V and 4 A continuous, brushless DC, brushless AC (vector control), and DC brushed motors. Using a different module, an EtherCAT interface is accessible.
The Global Intelligent Servo Drive market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Yaskawa introduced the AC Servo Drive -X Series, the purported “-7 Series’ replacement.” They have created the “-X Series” as a replacement for the “-7 Series,adding the capabilities of exploiting sensing data in addition to more sophisticated features and performance.
They want to realise “providing high added value to customers such as motion control +” and “consolidating the i3-Mechatronics concept and establishing a business model” based on motion control’s core technology. They also want to “consolidate the i3-Mechatronics concept and establish a business model.”
By enhancing the capacity to follow instructions and assuring stable operation, the speed response frequency, a key assessment metric for servo drives, has reached 3.5 kHz, the highest level in the world, leading to an increase in productivity.
The servomotor’s top speed of 7000 revolutions per minute increases the device’s driving speed, reduces takt time, and boosts productivity. It is feasible to quickly perform an optimal and stable servo adjustment on mechanisms that were previously challenging to modify thanks to improvements in the servo adjustment function needed to optimise the device performance, such as high speed and high precision.
The encoder signal line can be connected to numerous sensors, I/O devices, and other equipment installed on the machine side via the -LINK II sensor network.
