IMTS 2016: Yaskawa Motoman (N-6600)

Yaskawa Motoman's booth will preview and introduce several exciting new products that reflect the future of manufacturing. On display will be their solutions for human-robot collaboration, material handling, mobile handling and logistics, vision and welding. They will also demonstrate their most popular pre-engineered arc welding workcell and software for high-precision robotic assembly.

Yaskawa will display a new mobile manipulation technology for multiple handling operations or logistics tasks, a new handling robot that has an IP67 rating with an easy-to-clean surface for use in harsh environments, a new hardware/software solution that utilizes a single 3D machine vision head to accomplish random bin picking, an arc welding workcell ideal for high-mix/low-volume production, a high-precision assembly with integrated, vision-guided force sensing and Functional Safety Unit (FSU) for collaborative operator interaction, robots for arc and spot welding applications, a slim robotic part positioner with a 17 percent smaller width than standard positioners and a collaborative robot designed to work safely with or in close proximity to humans.
