Okuma servo drives can be found in hundreds of industries which fuel the world economy. They have the ability to control single or multiple axes. They consist of a power board, an option or control board, and a base drive unit. Typically, an encoder signal is sent from the motor to the drive, which relays the message to a processor/control board. The control board then processes the signal, makes a decision, and sends a new signal to the drive. The drive then implements the command that the signal carried onward to the motor it is attached or to whatever its axes are connected.
