Motoman Robots (a Yaskawa Company)

Motoman Robotics delivers innovative robotic automation solutions for virtually every industry and robotic application, including arc welding, assembly, coating, dispensing, material cutting (laser, plasma, waterjet), material handling (diecast, machine loading, packaging, palletizing, part transfer, press tending), material removal (deburring, polishing, sanding) and spot welding.

The Motoman product line includes more than 175 distinct robot models and 40 fully integrated pre-engineered "World" solutions that are complete application specific work cells, including robot, process equipment and safety equipment.

Motoman Robotics is a division of Yaskawa America, Inc., the world leader in robotics, and operates in North and South America. Combined with their sister and partner companies, they can support robotic solutions throughout the world. Their proven track record of delivering industry leading quality, innovation and customer satisfaction can help you exceed your robotic automation goals.

Since its founding in August of 1989, Motoman Robotics has grown to the second largest robotics company in the Americas, with more than 29,000 robots installed. Motoman Robotics has experienced a compounded annual sales growth of more than 30 percent and is one of America's fastest-growing automation companies.

Motoman Robotics is backed by a powerful parent: Yaskawa Electric Corporation (YEC) of Japan (one of the world's largest manufacturers of industrial robots with over 200,000 installed worldwide). YEC uses the latest technology in a one-of-a-kind factory where robots build other robots. Motoman Robotics' sister division, Yaskawa America, Inc., Drives & Motion Division, is a manufacturer of AC servo motors and drives, and inverters.

More often there is a combination of servo automation and robot cells in today's high speed automation systems. AM&MC has recognized that trend and is pleased to offer the Yaskawa line of Motoman Robots. These robots are made for industry specific applications which means they have application software and payload capacities tailored to these industries:
