More than 2.7 million * industrial robots are in operation around the world * as indispensable equipment for the production of automobiles, home appliances, PCs, smartphones, and other products in factories and other places that are rarely seen in everyday life. Yaskawa announced the Japan’s first all-electric industrial robot under the brand name MOTOMAN in 1977, and since then we have shipped nearly 500,000 units all over the world.
Yaskawa develops and optimizes servomotors which are the main components of industrial robots MOTOMAN by ourselves. Aside from control software technology that maximizes this capability, we are developing industrial robots by integrating application technology that realizes optimum structures and functions for applications such as welding and painting.
Painting robot
Industrial robots for painting applications are now used in many areas, including not only the conventional demand for painting the bodies of automobiles and motorcycles, but also small objects and home appliances. High-end car lines spray paint over and over to thicken it, and it requires a high technique that ensures uniform painting. This robot is one of Yaskawa’s top applications.
