Yaskawa's Green Energy Devices: R1000 & D1000 for Sustainability

In today's business environment, sustainability is more than just a catchphrase—it is essential to defining efficient and moral business operations. Our R1000 and D1000 series of green energy products offer state-of-the-art energy-efficient technology and innovative solutions that benefit both businesses and the environment.

R1000 Series: Regenerative Unit

What is the R1000?

The R1000 regenerative braking unit is intended to provide a more intelligent and effective substitute for conventional dynamic braking techniques. 

Robots, servo axes, inverters, and other single- or multi-axis drive solutions thrive at harvesting and rerouting extra braking energy back into the power grid thanks to the R1000. 

By preventing heat-related energy loss, this procedure improves the sustainability and economy of operations.

Key Benefits of the R1000:

• Space-saving: Removes the need for large, cumbersome braking resistors, which frees up important switch cabinet space and makes installation easier.

• Energy Efficiency: Less cooling is needed when heat generation is reduced, which lowers energy consumption and operating expenses.

• Grid Contribution: Reduces the total amount of energy used by factories or buildings by feeding regenerative energy into the electrical grid.

• Versatile Operation: Increases versatility in industrial applications by enabling four-quadrant operation without the need for braking resistors.

D1000 Series: Regenerative Converter Unit

What is the D1000?

The advantages of regenerative braking are extended to robotic systems, servo axes, and AC drives with the D1000 regenerative converter unit. Similar to its sibling, the D1000 minimises energy waste and promotes sustainable production processes by effectively converting braking energy into useable electricity.

Key Benefits of the D1000:

• Energy Savings: By redistributing braking energy among drives via common DC bus systems, energy consumption is optimised throughout the system.

• Power Quality: Produces sinusoidal input currents that ease the load on transformers and other power supply components.

• Space Efficiency: Reduces installation space and improves system compactness by doing away with the requirement for brake transistors and resistors.

• Cost-effectiveness: Reduces total operating costs through gradual system efficiency improvements and energy consumption minimisation.
