Avoid the trade‑off between underperforming entry‑level servos and overbuilt high‑end systems. MR‑JET delivers dependable motion control for the machines in between. Leverage proven flagship motion DNA without flagship cost with Mitsubishi Electric’s MR-JET.

MELSERVO-JET

The MELSERVO‑JET (MR‑JET) Series from Mitsubishi Electric is a mid‑range servo drive and motor platform designed to meet the needs of machines that fall between entry‑level and high‑end motion systems. MR‑JET delivers strong, reliable motion performance while avoiding unnecessary cost and system complexity, providing a focused solution for modern, cost‑conscious machine designs.

Many machines require more capability than entry‑level servos can provide, but don’t need the added features and complexity of flagship platforms. MR‑JET is built specifically for this middle ground, delivering right‑sized performance, simplified wiring and flexible connectivity for a wide range of industrial applications.

With support for CC‑Link IE TSN® and EtherCAT®, MR‑JET integrates easily into modern automation architectures while maintaining fast response and stable motion. The platform is well‑suited for applications including packaging, converting, printing, machine tools, material handling and general manufacturing.

Accuracy for precise motion control

  • Superior trace control – Eliminate position deviation during acceleration and deceleration
  • Lost motion compensation – Mitigate the response delay caused by travel direction
  • Path tracking – Reduce overshoot and improve path accuracy to eliminate tracking error

Simplicity for clean and compact designs

  • Compact amplifier footprint – Top‑ and bottom‑mounted wiring separates power and signal cables, saving panel space and simplifying routing
  • Ability to bookshelf – Compact amplifier design supports side‑by‑side mounting, helping reduce panel width and maximize usable cabinet space
  • Compact motor design – Shorter motor length and reduced connector height help minimize machine footprint
  • Single‑cable motor design – Combines power, encoder and brake wiring with a one‑touch locking connector to reduce installation time and wiring errors
  • Battery‑less encoders – Eliminate battery replacement and reduce long‑term maintenance

Connectivity for flexible system configurations

  • CC‑Link IE TSN® (1 Gbps) – Time‑synchronized Ethernet motion across the automation system
  • EtherCAT® support – Communication cycles down to 125 μs
  • Rotary & linear motors – New compact HK‑series motors with 24-bit battery‑less ABS encoders and single‑cable design, plus linear motors up to 6.5 m/s

Usability for quick operation and startup

  • Instant startup tuning – Stable motion within 0.3 seconds after Servo‑On
  • One‑Touch Tuning – Automatic gain optimization with no manual adjustment
  • Advanced Vibration Suppression Control II™ – Reduces vibration down to 1 Hz for smoother, more productive motion
  • Built‑in point table positioning – Allows for PLC or GOT control, eliminating the need for a motion controller
