MELFA High Drive Function

Reduced positioning time

The vibrations that occur during positioning can be suppressed by using Mitsubishi Electric's unique vibration control algorithm. This enables a 30% reduction of the positioning settling time (*2), improving the cycle time.
The improved cycle time leads to improved productivity.

Reduced positioning time

Check the video that introduces the Mitsubishi Electric "vibration suppression" that realizes the MELFA High Drive function.

High-accuracy trajectory control

The trajectory accuracy is improved with trajectory compensation control. Setup adjustment has become easier since the trajectory fluctuation due to the speed and position less occurs.
Furthermore, this function improves work quality, such as sealing process.

Comparison of trajectory accuracy when MELFA High Drive function is turned ON/OFF

The trajectory accuracy is improved up to 64% when the MELFA High Drive function is ON compared to when it is OFF. (*2)
It is now possible to maintain machining accuracy while shortening machining time.
