Yamaha Motor Co., announced today that it will release two new robot drivers*1, the RDV-X and RDV-P, in September 2015.
With these models, Yamaha Motor has achieved a reduction of approximately 40% in the single-axis robot position settling time, while still retaining compatibility with existing models. In addition, the compact design enables a space saving of approximately 45% in the installation width within the control console, compared with existing models.
As the latest models in the existing RDX and RDP series, the RDV-X and the RDV-P support the servo motor single-axis robot FLIP-X series and the linear motor single-axis robot PHASER series, respectively. Both robot drivers employ the pulse train input method*2 already widely used in current products.
| *1 |
Robot drivers are the control devices which drive industrial robot products at high speeds and with a high degree of accuracy. |
| *2 |
Pulse train input method refers to a standard, widely-used method where the motor rotation amount is controlled with a digital pulse input. |
| Name | Price | Launch Date | Target Sales |
| RDV-X/RDV-P | From 75,000 yen (excluding tax) |
September 2015 | 1,500 Units (The total for both models, first full year from release, both within Japan and internationally) |
*1 For a 400W servo motor, 20mm ball screw lead, 40kg payload
*2 Total width with four RDV-X220 installed (compared with existing models)
