YASKAWA SGM Series User Manual page 11

Preface
Based on Yaskawa servo manufacturing technology and servo application technology accumulated
over the last half a century, Yaskawa has launched the AC Servo Series that, together with its rich
line of products, meets the needs of the modern needs of FA and FMS in their application to machin-
ing tools and robots.
AC Servos not only provide stable, highly accurate, and high-speed response control even under ad-
verse environments, but also provide such features as easy application, flexibility, and easy main-
tain. The new Yaskawa AC Servos can be used in various servo fields, including machining tools
and robots.
