V1000-4X Drive 1/8 - 25 Horsepower The V1000-4X is a version of the standard V1000 in an integral enclosure that meets NEMA type 4X/12 indoor use requirements, UL type 4X/12 standards, and the IP66 rating of IEC 529. This enclosure provides the protection required in tough washdown or dust-tight environments, common in Food and Beverage Processing, Packaging, Metal Machining, Woodworking, Pumping, Refrigeration, and Printing. The enclosure is coated to protect against the harmful effects of sanitizing chemicals commonly used in food industries. Washdown - Dust Tight! J1000 Drive The J1000 is a world-class compact variable frequency drive that defines a new world standard. Demands for efficient production and better maintainability are on the rise, spurred by global competition. Yaskawa drives have earned a reputation for high performance, high functionality, and high quality. Great things come in small packages! G7 Drive 1/2 - 500 Horsepower The Ultimate Drive Solution This innovative drive utilizes 3 level control to offer the best solution for challenging installations. Yaskawa is the only manufacturer to offer a low voltage drive with this architecture. 3 level technology minimizes drive induced problems associated with long motor cables and premature motor bearing failures. In addition, overall electrical noise is greatly reduced, resulting in the most problem free installations. Not only does the Yaskawa G7 deliver this exclusive advantage, but it also provides high flexibility and excellent vector performance for control of speed, torque, and position, available in ratings through 500HP. The G7 / Configured package provides a G7 drive in either a NEMA 12, UL Type 1 (IP22 or IP54 depending on the exact rating) enclosure, with space for factory-mounted and wired options, such as reactors, filters, circuit breakers, fuses, network communications and I/O cards etc.  For more information on how the G7 drive solves the installation problems associated with IGBT switching, please review the Machine Design Article. AC7 Matrix Converter 7.5 - 125 Horsepower Matrix Converter The AC7 Matrix Converter leads a new age of drive performance. The AC7 incorporates innovative technology as the world's first low voltage (230V/460V) matrix converter to directly convert input AC voltage to output AC voltage without the need for a DC Bus. Not only does the AC7 improve energy efficiency but it also overcomes many problems typically associated with conventional drives such as harmonic current distortion, line regeneration, installation space, and motor drive issues (very long cable lengths, bearing currents, and common mode currents).

Spindle Drives and Motors

Machine tool spindle drives require one of the most demanding motion solutions. Ripple or velocity errors leave their mark, literally, on the work pieces being machined. Yaskawa Spindle Systems deliver the perfect answer to machine tool builders who require smooth running and rapid, accurate control. Yaskawa provides the high reliability and performance your machine tool applications demand with a complete line of drive and motor products to operate all machine tool spindles.

The M5 is a high performance spindle drive with 100% back-to-line regeneration.

We offer three types of machine tool specific spindle motors. Single winding spindle motors generate rated power at 1,500 RPM. Dual winding motors generate rated power at 400~500 RPM.

Drives are available with either the traditional analog interface or the Mechatrolink interface offered by Yaskawa.
