Description
The YASKAWA CACR-02-TE1K is an industrial servo drive used to control AC motors in various industrial automation applications. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and potential uses:
Function:
- The CACR-02-TE1K receives control signals from a control system (e.g., PLC) and converts them into electrical signals that power and regulate the speed, torque, and position of an AC motor.
- It essentially acts as an intermediary between the control system and the motor, enabling precise control over the motor’s movement.
Key Features:
- AC Input/Output: Operates on a single-phase AC input voltage (likely 200-230 VAC) and provides a three-phase AC output to the motor (0-230 VAC, 0-400 Hz).
- Power Rating: Offers a power rating of 0.2 kW (approximately 1/4 horsepower), suitable for driving small to medium-sized AC motors.
- Encoder Support: May support connection of an encoder (rotary position sensor) to provide feedback on the motor’s actual position, enabling closed-loop control for precise movement.
- Control Modes: Might offer various control modes like speed control, torque control, or position control, depending on the specific application requirements.
- Compact Design: The “02” in the model number (CACR-02-TE1K) suggests a potentially compact size, making it suitable for applications with space constraints.
Applications:
The YASKAWA CACR-02-TE1K can be used in various industrial automation applications requiring precise control of AC motors, including:
- Material Handling: Controlling conveyor belts, robotic arms, or pick-and-place machines in automated assembly lines.
- Manufacturing Equipment: Regulating the speed and position of spindles, cutting tools, or other moving parts in machinery.
- Packaging Machinery: Controlling the movement of packaging materials or operating labeling or printing equipment.
- Medical Equipment: Precisely positioning robotic arms or other actuators in medical devices.
- Textile Machinery: Controlling the speed and tension of yarn or fabric in textile processing equipment.
