Panasonic launches “industry’s first” AI-powered MINAS A7 Servo System
The Industrial Devices Division (INDD) of Panasonic Life Solutions India (PLSIND), a leading diversified technology company introduced AI-equipped servo system MINAS A7 servo system, along with the MINAS CZ1 Global and MINAS A6SC series Servo Motors for Indian OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers). This claims to be the industry’s first commercialized AI-equipped servo system.
Narayan Kumar, Divisional Director, Industrial Devices Division (INDD), PLSIND said, “The newly introduced servo system solutions leverage advanced technology to automate the precise tuning process that was once only possible through expert human intervention. For instance, MINAS A7 equipped with precAIse TUNING (AI-based automated tuning) offers ultraprecise positioning accuracy through simple initial settings. Similarly, all three servo systems have been designed to enhance productivity of machines, people, and applications by adapting quickly and intuitively.”
He adds, “Designed to meet the evolving needs of Indian manufacturing industry these servo system solutions reflect Industrial Devices Division’s commitment to India’s industrial automation and thus, helping enterprises in their digital transformation journey.”
MINAS A7 Servo motors are equipped with AI that automates precise tuning, previously only achievable by human experts. These servo motors deliver high motion performance standards, with key features including the AI-equipped servo system. “Utilizing Panasonic’s proprietary precAIse TUNING technology, these motors perform precise automatic tuning, reducing operation time by 90% compared to manual tuning by experts,” the company claims.
Designed for India, MINAS CZ1 and MINAS A6SC series provide versatile and high-functional solutions for various industrial applications.
MINAS CZ1 series, an ideal solution for complex automation systems, features a response frequency of 3200 Hz and support for EtherCAT, which enables high-speed (100 Mbps) communication, facilitating seamless integration and synchronized operations. The series is equipped with real-time automatic adjustment and various vibration control filters to ensure optimal performance. System upgrades can be performed via various slaves, enhancing system flexibility. Additionally, the series allows the construction of PC-based systems without the need for dedicated hardware, providing greater versatility.
Meanwhile, MINAS A6SC servo motor series deliver high-performance and high functionality across diverse applications. Suitable for both light-duty and high-power operations, it supports a wide range of power ratings and form factors. The motor offers a 3.2 kHz response frequency, pulse direction, and multiple vibration control filters, along with advanced functionalities like fit gain setting, two-degree-of-freedom control, adaptive load control, friction torque compensation, and manual/auto damping filters for optimal precision and efficiency.
