Yaskawa GA500 – the micro-drives for every industrial application

Gemamex presents the innovative GA500 series of its key partner Yaskawa.

The frequency inverters of the family are characterized by significantly simplified system integration thanks to their compact dimensions and have been specially developed for easy integration into industrial machines and equipment.

GA500 models combine high flexibility, robustness and energy efficiency with extensive network support, application-oriented functional toolkit and excellent communication capabilities.

Key benefits

Yaskawa’s GA500 series are designed for precise control of asynchronous and synchronous electric motors, as well as permanent magnet motors. Thus, users can secure many diverse applications using just one compact inverter.

Among the advantages of the controllers in the family are easy-to-use and configuration options, including model selection, installation and commissioning (within less than 5 minutes), troubleshooting and maintenance. All this reduces the efforts of technicians, manufacturers and users of modern automation solutions to an absolute minimum.

The GA500 frequency inverters can be programmed and controlled both from the built-in console and through an external high-resolution graphic terminal. They support 13 languages ​​and have a convenient software wizard for setup, as well as an intuitive menu to navigate, which further simplifies working with them and saves valuable time.

The actuators of the series allow programming even without power, even while still in their factory packaging. They only need to be connected via a USB cable to the respective portable device or computer.

High durability for safe and reliable operation

A distinctive feature of the GA500 microinverters is their extremely high reliability. The models in the series are designed with a focus on strength and durability to withstand even the most aggressive industrial conditions.

The special PCB coating enables operation at ambient temperatures up to 50°C without derating, and advanced machine monitoring functions and an integrated life-life prediction module prevent sudden breakdowns and malfunctions.

Yaskawa micro-drives thus eliminate the risks of production losses and unwanted downtime and costs, ensuring the safe and secure operation of industrial facilities.
