Ultimate system performance
The high-performance of Σ-7 SERVOPACKs translates into ultra-high-speed and ultra-high-accuracy control, which maximizes system performance.
Σ-7S Single-axis SERVOPACKs
 |
3.1 kHz response frequency Optimized for specific applications: New models in EX and FT series to be released Improved vibration suppression |
Ripple compensation
Σ-7 SERVOPACKs can reduce speed ripples caused by motor cogging, even for machines for which speed loop gains cannot be set high. This ensures smooth operation.
Enhanced vibration suppression function
- Notch filter
Suppresses high-frequency vibrations of 500 Hz or higher.
⇒Number of filters increased from 2 to 5. - Anti-resonance control adjustment
Suppresses vibrations at frequencies ranging from several hundred Hz to 1 kHz.
⇒Vibrations can now be suppressed at two different frequencies (in comparison with one frequency in earlier models). - Vibration suppression
Suppresses vibrations at low frequencies (30 Hz and lower).
⇒Vibrations can now be suppressed at two different frequencies (in comparison with one frequency in earlier models).
These functions can be adjusted automatically using the autotuning function.
Σ-7W 2-axis SERVOPACKs

2-axis SERVOPACKs (200 W × 2 axes to 1 kW × 2 axes) 3.1 kHz response frequency Improved vibration suppression |
Σ-7 Servomotors
 |
Compact dimensions (approx. 80% smaller than our earlier models.) High-resolution 24-bit encoder incorporated (16,777,216 pulses/rev) Maximum torque: 350% (small capacity) |
High-resolution, 24-bit encoder
Σ-7 Servomotors (50 W or greater) use encoders with a resolution that are 16 times higher than those used in Σ-V Servomotors.
High efficiency and low heat generation
Σ-7 Servomotors use an optimized magnetic circuit that improves motor efficiency and reduces heat generation.
(comparison with typical models.)
Ultimately ease to use
Yaskawa’s original tuning-less function has undergone further development.
Stable operations can be achieved without having to adjust gains.
No need to adjust servo gains
With Yaskawa’s original tuning-less function, systems can run without vibration for a load with 30 times (max.) of load moment of inertia. Systems remain stable even with load changes during operation.
| Σ-V Series | Σ-7 Series | |
|---|---|---|
| Allowable load moment of inertia ratio | 30 times (max.) | 30 times (max.) |
| Max. control gain | Speed loop gain 40 Hz (approx.) |
Speed loop gain 70 Hz (approx.) |
When the allowable load moment of inertia ratio is 30 times:
Ultimate safety and security
Systems can be operated safely because the Σ-7 Servo Drives comply with safety standards and safety is ensured by monitoring.
Satisfies requirements of the SIL 3 of the IEC 61508 functional safety standards∗ (first in Japan) ∗: Certification scheduled for April 2014
Certification will make it easier to set up systems that conform to safety standards for press machines and other systems in Europe and other regions. Certification also helps reduce the number of hours required for wiring and of peripheral devices.
Complies with Stop Category 0 (Safe Torque Off)
| Safety standards | Performance level & category | |
|---|---|---|
| Safety of machinery | EN ISO13849-1 | PLe (CAT3) |
| IEC 60204-1 | Stop Category 0 | |
| Functional safety | IEC 61508 | SIL 3 |
| IEC 62061 | SIL CL3 | |
| IEC 61800-5-2 | STO |
- The safety function works even for a single problem.
- The safety function is enhanced with compliance with the EN ISO 13849-1 PLe
(performance level e).
| Note : | Although the safety performance level of the Σ-V series Servo Drives is PLd (performance level d), the benefits described in the figure on the left apply. |
Protect systems from high temperatures
Σ-7 SERVOPACKs and Servomotors are equipped with temperature sensors that can directly monitor temperatures of machines and detect abnormalities to prevent failures. Real-time temperatures can be viewed on a display by using Machine Controllers.

Ultimate support
Cloud-based storage of product data facilitates data retrieval when needed.
Maintenance throughout a product’s service life is improved and simplified with SigmaTouch!∗, Yaskawa’s smartphone application.
- ∗ : Starts in spring 2014
Single or multiple orders possible after specifying parameters
Customers can now place single or multiple orders for SERVOPACKs in the Σ-7 series after specifying parameters at the factory shipment stage. No longer is it necessary to write the parameters at the system assembly site, which means that production lead times can be reduced.
Product management and maintenance service
- Manufacturing information of each product can be easily viewed by using SigmaTouch!, Yaskawa’s smartphone application. To view, simply hold your smartphone over the QR code of the product.
