A lot of drives

July 20, 2008
Yaskawa Electric, a manufacturer of AC drives, servomotors, motion controllers and robotics, announced June 6 that it has shipped 10 million variable frequency drives.
In reaching this milestone, the company claims it is the first to reach this milestone and further claims to have more than 14 percent of the global market for drives rated from 0.1 to 300kW.

The company claims to have been the first to develop the transistor inverter, followed by the first insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) low-noise inverter and the first vector control general purpose inverter.
