CACR-SR15SB1AF-Y160

CACR-SR15SB1AF-Y160 is a 1.5 kW AC servo drive (SERVOPACK) from Yaskawa’s classic VS-800 (CACR-SR) series, built for 3-phase 200 VAC input and paired with Yaskawa S‑series servo motors. It features standard incremental encoder interface, general‑purpose I/O, AF firmware, and the ‑Y160 OEM‑specific customization for certain machine tools and automation systems. This model is discontinued by Yaskawa; only tested used and fully refurbished units are available for maintenance and replacement.

Description

Model Number Explanation

  • CACR: AC Servo Drive (SERVOPACK)

  • SR: VS‑800 series, speed/position control platform

  • 15: Rated power 1.5 kW

  • S: Compatible with S‑series motors

  • B: 3‑phase 200 VAC main power input

  • 1: Control circuit: single‑phase 200 VAC

  • A: Standard incremental encoder interface (A/B/Z)

  • F: AF general‑purpose firmware

  • ‑Y160: OEM‑specific variant (pre‑configured parameters for specific original equipment)

Main Technical Specifications

  • Input: 3‑phase 200–230 VAC, 50/60 Hz; control: 1‑phase 200–230 VAC

  • Output: 3‑phase 0–230 VAC; continuous 11.7 A, peak 28 A

  • Control Modes: ±10 VDC analog speed/torque; pulse‑based position control

  • Encoder: Standard incremental (A/B/Z signals)

  • Speed Regulation Ratio: 1:3000; load regulation <0.01% (at rated speed)

  • Communication: RS‑232C / RS‑485 (Modbus RTU) for parameter setup

  • Mounting: Vertical panel mount

  • Ambient: 0°C to +45°C (operating); ‑20°C to +60°C (storage); humidity ≤90% (non‑condensing)

  • Protection: Overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overheat, encoder fault, overload

  • Overload Capacity: 150% for 60 seconds

Core Features

  • OEM‑Tuned Performance: The ‑Y160 variant comes with factory‑set parameters optimized for specific OEM machines (e.g., certain CNC lathes, milling machines), reducing on‑site tuning effort.

  • Proven Reliability: Mature VS‑800 hardware + stable AF firmware ensures long‑term, consistent operation in industrial environments.

  • Wide Compatibility: Works with all standard S‑series motors and traditional CNC/automation systems via standard I/O and encoder ports.

  • Easy Maintenance: Simple wiring, accessible diagnostics, and common protection functions simplify troubleshooting and upkeep.

Difference from CACR-SR15SB1AF (Standard)

  • Same power, voltage, current, motor/encoder/I/O specs.

  • ‑Y160: OEM‑customized parameter set; base model is generic AF firmware.

Typical Applications

  • CNC Machine Tools: Especially retrofits/replacements for older Yasnac‑controlled lathes, mills, and machining centers requiring Y160 settings.

  • General Automation: Conveyors, rotary tables, material handling, and small‑to‑medium motion systems.

  • Legacy System Maintenance: Direct drop‑in replacement for failed VS‑800 drives in existing installations.

Availability & Warranty

  • Original production discontinued; available as tested used / refurbished units.

  • Standard warranty: 6–12 months (varies by supplier).

  • Cost‑effective for extending the life of aging production lines.
