Yaskawa CACR-HR10BB Multi-Function Position Controller
Yaskawa CACR-HR10BB Multi-Function Position Controller
The Yaskawa CACR-HR10BB is a high-performance AC Servo Drive (Servopack) belonging to the legacy HR Series.
1 It is defined as a general-purpose multi-function position controller that integrates Yaskawa’s software-based positioning control technologies.
This series was specifically developed for advanced Factory Automation (FA) and Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS).
The “BB” designation indicates it is a Base-Mounted Type, as opposed to the “AB” rack-mounted versions.2

Product Advantages and Features
Integrated Positioning: Unlike standard speed-control drives, the HR series features a built-in position controller, reducing the need for high-level motion control hardware in some applications.
High Reliability: Built-in protection circuits prevent damage from overvoltage, overcurrent, abnormal regeneration, and voltage drops.
Maintainability: Includes a display function on the front panel to monitor status and troubleshoot via specific alarm codes.
Flexible Feedback: Compatible with Yaskawa’s precision optical encoders for high-accuracy positioning.
Dynamic Response: Optimized for quick response and stability even under adverse operating conditions or low-speed ranges.

Application Cases
The CACR-HR10BB is typically found in vintage and robust industrial machinery:
CNC Machine Tools: Precision control of feed axes in milling, turning, and grinding machines.3
Robotic Arms: Acting as the joint control drive for early-generation industrial robots requiring coordinated motion.
Injection Molding: Controlling the high-speed movements and positioning of molds and ejectors.
Textile & Printing: Managing high-speed synchronization in printing presses or textile weaving machines.
Automated Assembly: Used in dedicated assembly lines for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing.
