Practical Applications of the Yaskawa Sigma X Servo System
Smart Factory Production: Sigma X supports the optimization of equipment performance in production lines, helping to reduce downtime and increase productivity.
Precision Industry Applications: Suitable for high-precision motion requirements in industries like semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
Factory Data Management: Used with Yaskawa Cockpit for production data display and analysis.
Advanced Control Technology
i3-Mechatronics Technology: Yaskawa introduced this concept to create new value through digital data management, promoting smart factories.
Condition Monitoring: Sigma X uses the servo motor to sense and monitor items such as power-on time, encoder voltage, motor revolutions, and estimated external disturbance torque, helping to determine maintenance timing and prevent failures.
Sigma-LINK II Sensor Network: This network collects production data (sensor data) synchronously with the servo cycle. It allows connection of various sensors via a sensor hub, reducing wiring inside the equipment and making it less susceptible to noise.
Predictive Maintenance: Sigma X Servo uses the motor as a sensor to monitor component life and the operating environment, providing data for predictive maintenance.
Benefits of Use
5 reasons to use Yaskawa Sigma X Servo System
Increased Production Efficiency: Upgrading to the Sigma X will help shorten the cycle time (takt time) and increase throughput, while also allowing for faster development.
Interruption Prevention: The Sigma X has the capability to predict trends from data such as vibration, disturbance, and torque reference to prevent sudden stops or failure.
Increased Accuracy: Increased positioning resolution and stopping accuracy, combined with reduced speed ripple, lead to smoother motion and improved machining accuracy and quality.
Reduced Setup Time: Eliminates the complexity of servo tuning and operation checks for mechanisms that do not support autotuning, significantly reducing development time and effort.
Reduced Controller Load: The utilization of sensor data and analysis, from digitalizing operating data to anomaly detection, can be completed by the servo alone, helping to reduce the load on the host controller.
