The MINAS A6 series motors achieve a 30% smaller footprint and 20% lighter weight in comparison to their equivalent models in previous series without compromising performance. Panasonic’s smallest A6 servomotors are even shorter than a business card.

Thanks to its integrated permanent magnet design (IPM), the A6 series servomotors deliver higher torque and greater maximum speed compared to the previous models, which utilized a traditional SPM magnet design.

The MINAS A6 series servo motors can be controlled with 40 micro-degree turn intervals thanks to their 23-bit encoders, which deliver 8.3 million pulses per revolution. Combined with 2.5 Mbps communication speed, MINAS A6 servo motors can handle high precision industrial motion control applications.

The motor and encoder connectors of MINAS A6 series are available in two configurations: the IP65 lead-wire type or the IP67 connector type.

To meet the needs of a wide spectrum of applications, Panasonic has developed MINAS A6 series servo drivers with advanced features including but not limited to:

• Different driver types: Pulse, RTEX, and EtherCAT
• 3.2 KHz Frequency Response
• Adaptive Load Control: Determines the best gain settings in response to fluctuations in inertia
• Friction Torque Compensation Function: Reduces the effects of machine-related friction by utilizing three friction compensation methods.
• Damping Filter function: Reduces axis vibrations and settling times. Useful in low rigidity/low compliance systems
• Notch Filter function: Detects and removes resonance frequencies caused by machine vibration
• 3-Step Gain Function: Achieves lower vibration and quicker positioning
• Dynamic Braking Function: Reduces motor deceleration time
• Inrush Current Preventive Function: prevents the motor from drawing excess current
• Input/output Signal Assignment
• Block operation function: Saves up to 255 block operations (motion profiles) in the driver
