15.1 Functions and configuration

15.1.1 Summary
The fields of semiconductor/LCD manufacturing systems, mounters, and others have strong demands for
high accuracy and efficiency. Therefore, the number of systems using a direct drive motor for a drive axis
has been increasing. The direct drive servo system includes the following features.
(1) Performance
(a) The direct drive servo system ensures the high-rigidity and the high-torque. A high-resolution
encoder enables the high-accuracy control.
(b) The high-resolution encoder contributes to the high-indexer accuracy.
(c) Since reducer is no longer required, no backlash occurs. In addition, the settling time is reduced, and
the high-frequency operation is enabled.
(d) Since reducer is no longer required, the motor does not deteriorate with time by reducer.
(2) Mechanism
(a) The motor's low profile design contributes to compact moving part of the machine and a low center
of gravity for enhanced equipment stability.
(b) The motor has an inner rotor with hollow shaft which enables cables and pipes to be passed
through.
(c) Lubrication and the maintenance due to abrasion are not required.
When using the direct drive motor, read the "Direct Drive Motor Instruction
Manual".
POINT
Refer to section 1.3.3 for the software version of the servo amplifier that is
compatible with the direct drive servo system.
The number of connectable direct drive motors is limited for one MR-BT6VCASE
battery case. Refer to section 11.3 for details.
The MR-J4W2-0303B6 servo amplifier is not compatible with direct drive motor.
