Mitsubishi Electric’s IP55 rated variable speed drive

March 2015 Motion Control & Drives

Designed for unparalleled drive precision, speed control, simple start-up and versatility, Mitsubishi Electric has developed a new generation of drive technology – the FR-A846. It offers outstanding performance in decentralised or harsh environments.

This new drive series is the successor of the highly successful FR-A700 series and is equipped with a state-of-the-art high-speed processor by Mitsubishi Electric. With better than ever control performance and response level, safe and accurate operation is assured in a diverse range of applications.

Some of the outstanding features are the integrated USB port for programming and parameter copying, an easy-to-read control panel, optimum power usage and energy-saving functions, improved system safety, three expansion slots for a range of options and supported network cards.

With its impressive versatility to meet equipment system needs ranging from machining and moulding to winding, the FR-A846 is an extremely economical and highly versatile solution for a wide range of applications.
