Sigma-X: Driving Enhanced Competitiveness

Yaskawa servo drives of the Sigma-X series stand out due to their uncompromising performance. From consistently simple and fast commissioning in just three minutes to maximum machine throughput.

The Next Revolution in Servo Performance

Sigma-X series products by Yaskawa set a new industry standard in servo capability, with features that advance Yaskawa’s 30-year reputation for redefining the possibilities in motion automation.

Sigma-X is a complete family of Servopacks, servo rotary motors, linear motors and direct drive motors. Servopacks ranging from 3 W to 15 kW are easily paired with a Yaskawa machine controller to create a motion automation system with the industry’s highest quality and reliability.

Enhance Control Precision with Sigma-X

Sigma-X anti-resonance

The Sigma-X technology improves speed and precision. Each model is equipped with a package of advanced software algorithms that include superior vibration suppression, speed ripple and friction compensation, error detection, load fluctuation compensation control, advanced autotuning, and tuning-less commissioning right out of the box.

Any Yaskawa servo motor can be matched with a fully digital, easily networked Servopack amplifier. The productivity features within each Servopack enable more precise control and shorter settling times.

Servopack’s Highlights

  • Industry-leading 3.5 kHz bandwidth significantly improves settling time
  • Tuning-less capability reliably tunes servo system automatically with load to rotor inertia mismatch up to 100:1
  • Powerful package of tuning functions include compensation for the effects of machine vibration, friction, and other environmental factors
  • Improved filtering minimizes inaccuracies due to electrical interference, machine resonance, and mechanical vibration
  • Machine data collected by the amplifier can be used to implement preventative maintenance practices that will extend the life and performance of a machine
  • IEC 61508 SIL3 safety certification

Yaskawa Sigma-X servosystem

Servopacks for Single Axis, Double Axis and Triple Axis integrate seamlessly with the iCube Control as part of Yaskawa’s iCube Mechatronics Concept. They offer the user a variety of useful data that can be used to visualize and analyze production.

With the Sigma-X system comes an Advance Safety Option Module for Sigma-X (“ASM-X”). In combination with the new rotary servomotor with safety encoder, SIL3/PLe will be applicable.

iCube Control – A Single Machine Controller for Everything

iCube Control is the open automation machine control technology solution that gives engineers, application developers, machine builders and designers, total control over their system. In one controller, it combines powerful, modular hardware with a flexible software infrastructure and the ability to develop collaborative solutions.
