Compared with stepping motors, asynchronous motors or pneumatic solutions, the MINAS LIQI series offers many advantages as far as reliability, speed, or precise positioning are concerned.
As with the MINAS A5 series, the MINAS LIQI series is supported by a parametrization tool (PANATERM) and a configuration software (MINAS SELECTION TOOL). The series is optimally suited for the processing industries involving food, packaging, printing, metals, and plastics.

Features

Incremental encoder: 2500 pulses per revolution
Response frequency: 1kHz bandwidth (velocity response)
PANATERM V5.0: Free software for configuration and motion simulation via USB port
Real-time autotuning function during operation
Damping (1-200Hz) and notch filters (50-5000Hz)
Rotary switch (RSW): to set the stiffness manually

MINAS LIQI starter kit
Panasonic offers a complete PLC/HMI/drive package for a special, one-time price. The starter kit contains a MINAS LIQI servo driver and a motor (400W or 750W), a compact and powerful PLC with 16 I/O points, a 3.8” touch terminal, a 24V DC power supply unit, programming software, and all necessary cables. The package is rounded off with detailed documentation and wiring diagrams.
