1. Answering Market Demands with A1000
Yaskawa predicts continued market expansion with the
growing need for more energy efficient production in
addition to the already present demand for
variable-speed drives. Market demands have moved
increasingly towards greater energy conservation and
even more compact installations. This is evident in the
recent employment of synchronous motors to HVAC systems,
and for the first time, high performance drives to fan
and pump applications. These trends have led to greater
demands for inverter drives that are capable of
controlling synchronous motors as well as high
performance operation and functionality.
In response to the industry, Yaskawa has stepped ahead
of the competition by launching the third edition to its
1000 Series, high performance vector control A1000.
Referred to as Yaskawa's "Ace Drive", A1000
handles not only induction motors, but the same drive
also runs permanent magnet motors. The 1000 Series
product line is loaded with cutting-edge functionality
and powerful cost performance to answer market demands.
2. A1000 Features
(1)Outstanding Motor Drive Functionality
High performance vector control lets A1000 get 200%
torque at 0 Hz from an IPM motor-- without sensors or
motor feedback. A1000 handles standard motors with ease
as well, ensuring starting torque of 200% at just 0.3
Hz, again without the use of sensors or motor feedback.

(2)The Drive for a Greener World
Combining the performance of a synchronous motor with
Yaskawa's Energy-Saving control lets the user take
advantage of tremendous efficiency and cost reduction.
A1000 joins the movement for a greener world by cutting
CO2 emissions through high efficiency performance.


(3)Transforming the Entire Application
As the smallest drive in its class*, A1000 can be
combined with a synchronous motor for an incredibly
compact installation.
*50% smaller than our previous product line.

3. Main Applications
A1000 is designed to handle a wide range of
applications, including:
-Hoists, cranes, etc.
-Extruders, mold injectors
-Presses and other machine tooling
-Mixers, separators, grinders, other rotational
applications
-Conveyors and other material transport
-Compressors
-Fan, supply pumps, hydraulic pumps, etc. |
