Mitsubishi Electric Automation Introduces Low-Cost, High-Functionality 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.
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.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
