š Official Mitsubishi documentation confirms:
- MDS-EH-V1-160W belongs to the largest single-axis class in the V1 lineup
- It requires external dynamic brake unit (MDS-D-DBU) for braking function support
š Typical Applications
- Large CNC machining centers
- Heavy-duty feed axes (X/Y/Z)
- High-inertia spindle or rotary axes
- Gantry and large automation systems
- Precision industrial machinery with very high torque demand
š Position in V1 Series
- V1-10 ā light duty
- V1-20 / V1-40 ā medium duty
- V1-80 / V1-80W ā heavy duty
- V1-160 ā extra heavy duty
- V1-160W ā top-end reinforced 160A class drive (maximum duty / thermal upgrade version)
ā ļø Important Notes
- This drive is not stand-alone universal equipment
- Works only with Mitsubishi CNC controllers (M70 / M700 / etc.)
- Must be paired with compatible Mitsubishi servo motors and feedback systems
- External dynamic brake unit is required for this class of drive
