Σ-X series: AC Servo drive for achievement of digital solution

抄録

In recent years, AC servo drives have been required not only to play the role of high-speed and high-precision positioning devices but also as information devices that acquire various data through sensor networks. Our current flagship product: the Σ-X series, is a component that maximizes the performance of our customers' equipment and provides data acquisition functions to realize digital solutions such as preventive maintenance and failure prediction.

In this paper, we explain our solution concept: i³-Mechatronics, and introduce the lineup, basic performance, and the latest functions of Σ-X based on this concept. In addition, as a case study of the control technology development, the motion control function that has both high vibration suppression performance and easy-to-use adjustment guidelines for the user will be described.
