Pack Expo 2012: Reduce energy consumption on machines and throughout factory

Mitsubishi demonstration shows three independent servos turning three independent motors. Every time the servos stop, the motors dump energy. Alternately, one servo amplifier can drive three motors, not only saving space, but when three servos share common DC bus and the motors stop, normally wasted energy gets transferred to next servo, saving 36% in energy cost.
