The new A4 Servo is the next generation of Panasonic's MINAS product line. It sports a fast frequency response of 1KHz, improved real time auto gain tuning, new vibration control features, and 2Mpps command input. The size has also been reduced up to 30% compared to Matsushita Panasonic Electric Work's older A-Series, and along with the UL and CE certifications, the A4 Series servo drive & motor is also in compliance with SEMI F47 Standard.

Key Features:

• Motor types: Super low, low, middle and high inertia
• Speed response frequency 1kHz
• Incremental encoder (2500p/r)
• Absolute Encoder (17bit) Available
• Vibration control

MINAS-A4P Series is a servo motor and driver of I/O command type. A4P Series is based on the high performance servo driver MINAS-A4 Series, which achieved response frequency of 1kHz, real-time autogain tuning function and damping control, and contains the NC function which can perform positioning more easily.

A maximum of 60 setting points can be set for (1) moving distance, (2) maximum rotation speed in a moving section, (3) acceleration time and (4) deceleration time in each moving section and positioning can be performed by an external contact input. Moreover, in combination with a motor equipped with a 17-Bit Absolute Encoder, positioning can be performed at an absolute position and a homing operation is not required. A4P Series have also improved the user-friendliness by offering some optional components and a waveform graphic display to show a operating waveform.

Key Features:

• Output : 50W to 5.0kW
• Motor type : Super low inertia, Low inertia, Middle inertia, High inertia
• Built-in NC functions
• Preset positioning points up to 60

The high performance AC servo motor driver MINAS-AIII series which can drive a machine at a high speed through a small servomotor of 30W or a large servomotor of 5.0kW. By using a top performance CPU, it responses to a speed at frequency 1kHz, enabling the driven machine to operate at a high speed and significantly reducing tact time.

It supports full closed loop control and has an auto-tuning function. The motor can support either 2,500 p/r incremental encoder specification or a high-resolution 17-Bit Absolute/Incremental Encoder. It also has a damping control equipment that makes it possible to automate complicated gain tuning and enables a low rigid equipment to have stable stop performance. A variety of high speed motors are available for various applications.
