Description

Application Scenarios

At a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Japan,the YASKAWA CACR-SR30BE12M-C was integrated into a high-speed wafer handling robot that required micro-level positioning accuracy and fast cycle times.Previously,the system used a conventional PLC-based motion controller,which caused delays and positioning inaccuracies during rapid acceleration and deceleration.By implementing the CACR-SR30BE12M-C,the system achieved sub-micron precision,reduced cycle time by 25%,and improved process repeatability.

This servo drive is widely used in automotive assembly lines,food packaging machines,textile equipment,and medical automation,where high-speed,high-precision motion control is essential.Its EtherCAT interface ensures low-latency communication,enabling synchronized motion control across multiple axes.

Application Cases and Industry Value

Case 1:High-Speed Packaging Machine in Germany

A packaging equipment manufacturer integrated the YASKAWA CACR-SR30BE12M-C into a cartoning and labeling system requiring precise synchronization of 10 servo axes.The system previously used multiple standalone servo drives,leading to timing mismatches and mechanical wear.After deploying the CACR-SR30BE12M-C,the machine achieved perfect synchronization,increased throughput by 20%,and reduced mechanical stress.

Case 2:Robotic Assembly Line in China

An electronics manufacturer used the CACR-SR30BE12M-C to control a 6-axis robotic arm in a smart factory automation line.The EtherCAT interface enabled real-time coordination between the robot and vision system,resulting in higher pick-and-place accuracy and reduced production errors.

These applications demonstrate the YASKAWA CACR-SR30BE12M-C’s value in enhancing automation efficiency,reducing system complexity,and improving product quality in modern industrial environments.

Installation,Maintenance,and Full-Cycle Support

Installing the YASKAWA CACR-SR30BE12M-C requires mounting in a standard control cabinet with adequate ventilation due to its fan-cooled design.Ensure the input power supply is within the specified 3-phase 200–230 V AC range and that the EtherCAT network is properly terminated and grounded.

The drive connects to the master controller(PLC or motion controller)via EtherCAT,and axis configuration is done through YASKAWA’s SigmaWin+software or compatible automation platforms.

Routine maintenance includes:

Checking fan operation and airflow

Monitoring temperature and alarm indicators

Performing periodic firmware updates

Verifying communication integrity via EtherCAT diagnostics
