Motion Made Easy | Yaskawa Incremental & Absolute Motion

Overview

In this segment, we’ll demonstrate how to execute both incremental and absolute motion using the Yaskawa Sigma Logix drive. Understanding the difference between these two motion types is key to optimizing your machine’s performance. Incremental motion moves the axis a specific distance from its current position, while absolute motion moves it to a defined position on the scale. I’ll show you how to trigger both commands using the Add-On Instructions, and what to look for when verifying motion is working as expected.

Cross Company provides expert support and solutions for implementing Yaskawa Controllers into your operations, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. From setup to fine-tuning, we’re making advanced motion control simple, scalable, and powerful.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
