Motion control systems consist of three main components: a controller, an amplifier and the motor itself. These three components must work together in harmony to ensure high performance and ease-of-use. This article will examine the latest Yaskawa product offerings in these three areas. It will show how these products work individually, and how they work together in an integrated motion control system.
Application Success Story for Sigma-5 used in a web tension control application. The web processing is performed on a steel web that is to be used in solar panel production, and is unwound/wound and inspected by the system presented here. A Galil motion controller controls all three axes in step/direction mode which puts the Sigma-5 in position mode taking advantage of the adaptive tuning, quick setup, and stellar performance, thus beating out the competition.
Application Success Story for Sigma-5 used in a high performance RFID in-lay application. The results doubled production capabilities and simplified startup by reducing tuning time - beating competition. The upper controller was from the customer so +/-10VDC analog speed reference was used.
Application Success Story for Sigma-5 used in plasma cutting application. The key here was to meet European Safety standards and maintain performance. The customer's upper controller was used with +/-10VDC analog speed interface to Sigma-5 amplifiers. The following safety standards were achieved: EN 954-1 Category 3, EN 60204-1 Stop Category 0, IEC61800-5-2 Safe Torque (STO), IEC61508-1 to 4:2000 SIL2
Application Success Story for Sigma-5 used in semiconductor chip die-bonding application. Short positioning time and settling time is critical in a quick point-to-point application like die-bonding. Accuracy and speed are often balanced, but with Sigma-5, improvements in both areas are achieved - surpassing competition. Customer's upper controller was used with step/direction interface to the Sigma-5 amplifiers.
Noise reduction wiring and grounding techniques/guidelines are described in this application note. Troubleshooting examples are also provided for reference.
This video explains in detail how vibration occurs in servo applications and the technology the Sigma-5 SERVOPACK uses to reduce this vibration to negligible levels.
