Manufacturer
Yaskawa
Japanese motion control and robotics company whose Motoman brand is a mainstay in arc welding and general industrial handling.
Yaskawa Electric was founded in 1915 and entered robotics in 1977 under the Motoman brand, building a reputation early on in arc welding applications.
Motoman robots use the YRC1000 controller family, and the lineup spans the GP general-purpose series, AR arc welding arms, HC collaborative robots, and MPP palletizers.
The company's welding heritage runs deep, and its hollow-wrist arc welding arms remain a common sight in structural steel and general fabrication shops.
Yaskawa also makes servo motors and drives used well beyond robotics, giving it a broad footprint across industrial motion control.
