Partnership Brings New Openness with EtherCAT Interface



Power Automation, in cooperation with Yaskawa, now enables its customers to use Yaskawa's drives and motors.

"Customers may now combine our open and fast PA Smart Touch Panel CNC with Yaskawa's leading solutions. This is done via the EtherCAT controller interface," said Hans Platt, President and CEO of Power Automation of America.

According to Platt, this cooperative effort provides an appealing strategic solution. "Yaskawa offers an entire range of drive technology," he said. "Power Automation is now opening up an optimal product portfolio for its U.S. customers."

With its EtherCAT interface, the PA 9000 CNC is designed to be a flexible and powerful CNC control system that meets all requirements for Industry 4.0. Features include openness, simple programming and user-friendliness.
