PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
YASKAWA ELECTRIC PG-A2 - Manual Pulse Generator
This device is a manual pulse generator (MPG) designed for precise incremental position control in industrial automation systems. It provides operator-controlled pulse signals for fine-tuning axis movements in applications such as CNC machine tools, robotic systems, and automated assembly equipment, interfacing directly with motion controllers or servo drives.
