Description
1. Product Description
The Yaskawa JGSM-06 is a high-performance position controller module designed for industrial automation systems, engineered to deliver precise motion control and signal synchronization. Part of Yaskawa’s advanced automation portfolio, the JGSM-06 converts self-synchronizing signals (e.g., from YV GC-500W*1 systems) into DC voltage proportional to rotational angles, enabling real-time position tracking in machinery and robotics. Its signal mixing function minimizes deviations from reference signals, ensuring accuracy in dynamic applications. With a compact design (1 kg weight, 100 mm × 100 mm form factor) and rugged construction, the module is ideal for manufacturing, robotics, and factory automation, supporting seamless integration with Yaskawa’s servo drives and PLC systems.

6. Selection Recommendations
- System Requirements: Pair with Yaskawa servo drives (e.g., SGD7S series) for optimal performance.
- Environment: Operates in -10°C to 50°C; use enclosures for dusty/humid environments (IP20 standard).
- Budget: New units ($1,200–$1,500) vs. refurbished options ($600–$800, 1-year warranty).
- Scalability: Suitable for small-to-mid systems (1–50 axes); upgrade to Yaskawa’s higher-end modules (e.g., JAPMC-CP series) for large-scale setups.
7. Precautions
-
Installation: Torque mounting screws to 4–6 N·m; avoid vibration-prone locations.
-
Wiring: Use shielded cables for signal inputs; separate power and control wiring.
-
Calibration: Perform periodic signal calibration (every 6 months) to maintain accuracy.
-
Safety: Follow IEC 61800-3 standards for servo applications; disconnect power before module replacement.
-
Compatibility: Verify input signal compatibility (e.g., YV GC-500W*1 systems) before installation.
