Thanks for watching our video on "Precision-Guided Plasma Cutting with Yaskawa Sigma-7 Servo Motors." Unfortunately, we cannot determine the model from the video. This information might be available to the marketing team. I suggest contacting Arc Cutting Industries directly or your local Yaskawa Service Provider. (www.yaskawa-global.com/company/profile/global)
what you see in 0:21 from the right - a stepper motor - a gear box, most probably planetary type - a helical gear - a helical gear track so we have several basic functions - create a controlled linear motion with little vibration and noise - create a linear guiding - provide electrical energy and signals interestingly they use the same drive system to move along the longitudinal and transversal direction. In 0:50 you clearly see the helical gear + helical gear track and most probably a similiar stepper motor + planetary gear box. I guess they're using the same approach to move the laser heads along the vertical axis. Well a really great machine, good job. My company is also using a laser cutter for metal sheets. But your system looks way better.
/facepalm. That's not a stepper motor, it's a sigma seven servo. The entire point of the video. If your knowledge is representative of your companies products, it's back to the drawing board for you.
Sigma 7 servos on this machine is like killing Ants with a Fire arm. Nice obviously.. needed.. not so sure. A good Trajectory planner and a stepper motor would do just as nice cut.
Hi Chicoxiba, Thanks for your comment. Steppers can be functional in a variety of applications. They are ideal when performing the same move profile over and over at relatively low speeds and low RMS torque requirements. Servos offer distinct advantages applications like this one. If you are interested in more information, please contact Yaskawa America, Inc at marcom@yaskawa.com.
Two questions: 1/ what size servo is that? The 200W? and 2/ What is the reduction ratio in that planetary?
