ExploreSelection guide
The choice between a robot, servo, AC DRIVE or controller depends on more than power or axis count. It also requires understanding the task, dynamics, communications, cell safety and the equipment’s expected evolution.
Control motor power
AC drives control a motor’s speed and behavior in machine and process applications. They are useful when motor motion must adapt to a load, setpoint or sequence, with communications suited to the industrial architecture.
Compare according to motor, load, speed range, braking, supply and required network.
Optimize utilities
Drives dedicated to fan and pumping loads support loops whose behavior depends on flow, pressure, demand and operating efficiency. Selection should consider the load curve, process sensors and desired control method.
Use when a motor drives a pump or fan and process regulation matters as much as speed.
Synchronize precisely
The Sigma-X family targets applications where servo, network and motion control must form a coherent whole. It is evaluated based on the axes to synchronize, mechanics, control architecture and how the machine must evolve.
Consider when axis coordination, communications and commissioning are part of the problem to solve.
Accelerate the machine
Sigma-7 servo systems pair motors and SERVOPACKs to execute controlled machine-axis motion. They are relevant when position, speed and axis response must be defined from the real load and mechanics.
Use when an axis must be sized with its transmission, inertia, cycle and controller.
Orchestrate the machine
Machine controllers coordinate the logic, I/O, motion and interfaces required by the cycle. They are relevant when a machine must grow from one axis to a more complete architecture without artificially separating control from equipment dynamics.
Consider according to axis count, I/O, communications, HMI and the functions the machine must centralize.
Automate handling
Industrial robots automate handling, assembly or process tasks with a path and repeatability suited to the cell. They should be studied with the tooling, part, access, throughput and protection surrounding the robot.
Consider according to the task, payload, reach, orientations, cycle time and cell design.
Sense and switch
Industrial switching components—relays, contacts, switches and magnetic detection—can complement control logic or a machine interface. They are selected from signal type, electrical load, mounting and the component’s role in the circuit.
Use when electrical function, switching cycle, environment and panel integration must be precisely defined.
Applications
Yaskawa families can be part of a robotic cell, synchronized-axis machine, conveyor or pumping loop. The application guides system boundaries and the questions to ask before selection.
Robots, controllers and axes should be considered with parts, end effectors, material flow and cell protection.
Explore OEM and integrator solutionsServos, AC DRIVES and controllers can support a cycle when positioning, synchronization and repeatability must be considered with the mechanics.
Explore production applicationsDrives dedicated to fan and pumping loads are selected from the load profile, regulation and system interfaces.
Explore process applicationsCadence guidance
Cadence can structure the conversation around the motion useful to the application: load, travel, precision, cycle, control architecture and integration of the cell or machine. This step helps explore the right Yaskawa family without reducing selection to a power rating.
