Yaskawa CACR-HR10BB Multi-Function Position Controller

Yaskawa CACR-HR10BB Multi-Function Position Controller

The Yaskawa CACR-HR10BB is a high-performance AC Servo Drive (Servopack) belonging to the legacy HR Series.

1 It is defined as a general-purpose multi-function position controller that integrates Yaskawa’s software-based positioning control technologies. 

This series was specifically developed for advanced Factory Automation (FA) and Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS).

The "BB" designation indicates it is a Base-Mounted Type, as opposed to the "AB" rack-mounted versions.2

Technical Parameter Table

Product Advantages and Features

Integrated Positioning: Unlike standard speed-control drives, the HR series features a built-in position controller, reducing the need for high-level motion control hardware in some applications.

High Reliability: Built-in protection circuits prevent damage from overvoltage, overcurrent, abnormal regeneration, and voltage drops.

Maintainability: Includes a display function on the front panel to monitor status and troubleshoot via specific alarm codes.

Flexible Feedback: Compatible with Yaskawa's precision optical encoders for high-accuracy positioning.

Dynamic Response: Optimized for quick response and stability even under adverse operating conditions or low-speed ranges.

Application Cases

The CACR-HR10BB is typically found in vintage and robust industrial machinery:

CNC Machine Tools: Precision control of feed axes in milling, turning, and grinding machines.3

Robotic Arms: Acting as the joint control drive for early-generation industrial robots requiring coordinated motion.

Injection Molding: Controlling the high-speed movements and positioning of molds and ejectors.

Textile & Printing: Managing high-speed synchronization in printing presses or textile weaving machines.

Automated Assembly: Used in dedicated assembly lines for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing.
