YASKAWA SGM-A3 User Manual page 2

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

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 information on the Σ Series SGMj/DR2,
which feature superior functions and performance. This manual was
designed to provide comprehensible information for users who are about to

maintain a servo system. Keep this manual in a convenient location and
refer to it whenever necessary in operating and maintaining the servo
system.
