Yamaha DRC-2 LS1BL-750 Robot Motor Controller 750mm Linear Slide Sanyo L404

Yamaha DRC-2 LS1BL-750 Robot Motor Controller 750mm Linear Slide Sanyo L404

This listing includes a complete Yamaha single-axis robot system: a DRC-2 motor controller, an LS1BL-750 750mm ball-screw linear slide, a dual-piston pneumatic slide mounted to the carriage, and a Sanyo Denki L404-012E18 servo motor. The system was manufactured by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. in Japan in April 1998 as factory automation equipment and represents a self-contained linear positioning axis ready for integration into an automation cell.

Applications

Yamaha's LS-series ball-screw linear slides are single-axis robotic positioning stages used throughout factory automation for pick-and-place, assembly, dispensing, and inspection tasks. The LS1BL-750's 750mm stroke makes it suited for longer-travel applications such as conveyor transfers, part shuttling, or multi-station indexing. The DRC-2 controller provides closed-loop servo control of the motor axis and coordinates with external I/O signals, making it a standalone motion controller for integration into a PLC or robot system. The addition of the dual-piston pneumatic slide on the carriage adds a second, perpendicular axis of motion — typically used to extend and retract a gripper or tool at each stop along the linear travel. This type of combined electric-linear plus pneumatic-slide arrangement was standard in Japanese factory automation cells of the 1990s and continues to be used in legacy production lines, systems integrators refurbishing older cells, and research environments where compact, precise linear motion is needed.
