Yaskawa SGDB - Manual (Page 2)

PREFACE
The rapid progress being made in today’s automation and information
technologies is resulting in a growing need for even more-advanced motion
control for future high-tech equipment. The end result is a need for devices
that can provide more-precise and quicker motion at higher speeds. Servo
control technology makes this possible. Launched by Yaskawa in 1993, the
Σ Series consists of innovative AC Servos that were developed using
leading-edge servo control technology.
This manual covers all products in the Σ Series, which feature superior
functions and performance. This manual was designed to provide
comprehensible information for users who are about to use a servo for the
first time as well as for users who already have experience in using servos.
This manual enables users to understand what Σ-Series AC Servos are all
about and how to design, install, operate, and maintain a servo system.
Keep this manual in a convenient location and refer to it whenever
necessary in operating and maintaining the servo system.
