Industrial robot MOTOMAN has accumulated 500000 shipments

Since the launch of the fully electric industrial robot "MOTOMAN-L10" by Yaskawa Electric Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yaskawa Electric") in 1977, it has been widely favored by domestic and foreign customers.

In 1994, Yaskawa Electric Robot Control Cabinet YASNAC MRC achieved complete independent coordination of actions between multiple robots. Since 2003, in the process of striving to meet customer needs, starting from general-purpose robots suitable for welding, handling, and other purposes, we have promoted the adoption of "purpose optimization robots" in the robotics industry that optimize the structure based on application methods and functions.
In addition, six degrees of freedom robots can correspond to general actions, and by adding one more degree of freedom to them, 7-axis robots with the same degree of freedom as human arms have been achieved, as well as dual wrist robots that can reproduce the same wrist as humans for operations using 7-axis robots. Yaskawa Electric has continuously explored new robot markets with the advanced technology of this era.
In recent years, in the context of population reduction on production lines, severe labor shortages, and the prevention of the expansion of infectious diseases, the demand for products in the general industrial sectors facing the third tier market (food, medical supplies, cosmetics) and the 3C market (computers, home appliances, communication machines) has also increased, in order to meet the demand for diversified products (multi variety, multi variable), Since 2018, Yaskawa Electric has been selling the human-machine collaborative robot "MOTOMAN-HC10DT" that can work around people, expanding the application range of industrial robots.
