I recently read an article implying that motor current can be used as an alternative to motor power to protect mechanical drive trains, writes Malcolm Greenhill.

Sigma-7 products set a new industry standard in servo capability, with features that advance Yaskawa’s 25-year reputation for redefining the possibilities in motion automation. 

 

Sigma-7 is a complete family of servo motors and SERVOPACK amplifiers from 3w to 55kW, easily paired with a Yaskawa machine controller to create a motion automation system with the industry’s highest quality and reliability. 

Take a look at our new product video. 

The magnetic strain gauge sensor QE1008-W measure the surface-strain directly at the mounting location in the same quality as bonded strain gages. 

 

The magnetic press-on technology, developed by Sensormate AG, presses the strain gauges under the stainless protective film so strongly against the surface to be measured that frictional contact occurs. 

 

The mounting of the sensor is non-destructive, very fast and simple. 

 

Direct measurement of surface strain 

Quick and non-destructive assembly with magnetic press-on technology 

High accuracy and linearity in tension and pressure (like bonded strain gauges) 

Ideal for use on presses, injection-moulding and die-casting machines 

Application on tie bars with a diameter of 45mm or higher and flat surfaces 

Dynamic applications 

Without amplifier (passive)

The development of the new Sigma-7 series focused on three main goals: consistently fast commissioning, high production output and maximum operational reliability. The series offers a powerful response to today‘s market requirements for both machine constructors and final customers in the production industry. Sigma-7 offers particularly great potential for packaging plants, semiconductor manufacturing, wood processing and digital printing machines.
