YASKAWA products are trusted across global manufacturing for their durability, accuracy, and long life — but even the best systems eventually require maintenance or replacement. When machines stop, productivity stops, which is why sourcing the right servo, amplifier, or drive matters quickly.

Industrial Automation Co. supplies verified YASKAWA servo motors, servo amplifiers, Sigma-series drives, VFDs, and legacy SGDH & SGDV components. We also stock discontinued and end-of-life models to keep older equipment running long past OEM support windows. Whether you’re replacing a single axis, expanding a motion platform, or reverse-engineering a legacy CNC install — we help match correct hardware fast.

YASKAWA FAQ — SIGMA-Series Compatibility, Legacy Replacement & Multi-Axis Motion

Can YASKAWA Sigma-series drives run non-Yaskawa servo motors?
Yes — when encoder feedback format and motor constant data match. We verify electrical requirements and tuning parameters to confirm safe operation.

Can V1000 or GA-series drives replace VFDs from other brands?
Often yes — if current rating, vector mode, and motor load align. Parameter tuning may be required; we confirm sizing prior to recommendation.

Can YASKAWA servo systems be upgraded without changing the controller?
Only when the existing controller supports required communication, encoder feedback, and control resolution. We verify protocol support before recommending an upgrade.

Can legacy SGDH amplifiers be replaced with Sigma-7 hardware?
Sometimes — compatibility depends on encoder format, firmware requirements, and axis tuning. We check part numbers to confirm upgrade path.

Can YASKAWA drives support synchronized and multi-axis positioning?
Yes — using MECHATROLINK, EtherCAT, or other supported motion networks. We confirm bus timing, cycle rates, and drive firmware for coordinated motion.

Can you replace a YASKAWA servo drive without changing the motor?
Yes — we match encoder data, torque curves, and amplifier sizing for drop-in replacement.

Can YASKAWA drives cross-replace other drive brands?
Yes — when load characteristics, control mode, and motor specifications align. We provide compatibility confirmation prior to shipment.

Can we upgrade a servo amplifier without replacing the controller?
Sometimes — depending on feedback type and communication bus support.

Can Sigma-7 replace an older SGDH?
Possibly — we check encoder compatibility and tuning parameters for a validated upgrade.

Can YASKAWA drives run synchronized motion?
Yes — we verify network type and axis coordination requirements to ensure stable operation across multiple axes.
