VERNON HILLS, Ill. - Responding to industry demand for a servo system with advanced functionality at a competitive price, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. introduces the MR-JE servo system. The MR-JE features the latest servo technology, including one-touch auto-tuning, vibration suppression, machine diagnosis functionality and high tolerance against instantaneous power failures.

MR-JE servo systemBecause of its auto-tuning function, the MR-JE is especially suited to applications that require precise control of servomotors, such as packaging, labeling and machine tool applications. Its ideal for use in pick and place machines. Auto tuning helps servomotors achieve optimal performance and allows the motors to adapt to machine-to-machine variances.

Users simply turn on the advanced one-touch tuning function to adjust servo gains. In addition to auto tuning, the vibration suppression function also contributes to optimal servo performance, while extending machine life.

"We believe this new servo offering will appeal to both OEMs and end users," said Ariane Roberson, senior product marketing engineer, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. "OEMs will have more flexibility to offer solutions that are highly cost competitive and include an easy-to-use interface. OEMs will also benefit from the more energy efficient designs and machine diagnosis functions, which are competitive differentiators on smaller or low-end machines."

She added that both OEMs and end users will benefit from the MR-JEs scalability. This allows the user to purchase product at the required levels, and mix and match Mitsubishi Electric servo offerings, such as the high performance, high functionality MR-J4 servo in a single system with a single software package for an optimized solution.

The easy-to-use servo system is also simple to set up and maintain. The MR-JE can be used with Mitsubishi Electric FX3 Series programmable logic controllers.
