The NX1 series modular machine controller provides logic sequence, motion and information functionality. NX1 is joining production and IT worlds, minimizing engineering and maintenance while suppressing middleware.

Our HG-C series opens up a host of new opportunities for industrial automation, including positioning of robotic arms, thickness and position measurement of belt material, presence detection of the smallest products or recognition of overlaps in the thinnest materials. These measurements can be performed both statically and dynamically. The HG-C sensor is unique on the market for laser sensors thanks to a repeatability of 10μm and a response time of 1.5 ms. With dimensions of just W20 x H44 x D25 mm, this sensor offers high-end performance in a compact package. Five measuring ranges (100 mm ± 35 mm, 50 mm ± 15 mm and 30 mm ± 5 mm) are available depending on the model with a measurement resolution of 10 μm to 70 μm. The built-in display supports setup and operation.

Predestined for a wide range of handling and assembly tasks. On account of its slim wrist, the 6-axis MOTOMAN GP20 is predestined for a wide range of handling and assembly tasks within a confined space – such as loading/unloading of tool or injection moulding machines, assembly or handling of workpieces. In addition, the GP20 boasts a high degree of rigidity that make it especially suitable for machining or grinding tasks. This latest addition to the portfolio Yaskawa customers means a wider choice: the MOTOMAN GP25 is still available for applications that call for a hollow arm design.  Besides its slim design, a payload of 20 kg, the long reach of over 1.8 m and high resistance of the wrist against penetrating dusts and liquids (IP67) make the MOTOMAN GP20 an extremely versatile industrial robot. Like all models of the GP series (GP stands for “general purpose”), due to cutting-edge servo-technology this new addition achieves extremely good cycle times with outstanding repeatability.

With axle speeds of up to 1,000 degrees/s the MOTOMAN GP4 is repeatability agile and ultra-fast. Its outstanding repeat precision of +/- 0.01 mm makes it suitable for many automated applications that call for the highest degree of precision with small workpieces, e.g. flexible handling and feeding of small parts, assembly, loading and unloading of machines or time-critical inspection tasks. In addition, the compact robot is characterised by a small footprint and attractive price-performance ratio. Part of the MOTOMAN GP series: Like its big brothers of the MOTOMAN GP series, the GP4 offers all advantages of this class. “GP” stands for “General Purpose” and thus suitable for a wide range of uses. The 6-axis robots are designed in conformance with high Protection Class IP67 (special protection against the penetration of moisture and dust). They can be deployed in harsh working conditions and are easy to clean. The robot can operate without restriction in any position; the robot cables can be inserted either sideways or through the base. The integral media supply in the axes optimises the setup of grippers and ensures the highest degree of reliability in operation. Wide range of applications in small parts handling: Due to its small space requirements, the GP4 is particularly suitable for use in the electronics industry. In the assembly of precision modules, the GP4 is at least equal to a fast rotary transfer machine. And as a 6-axis robot it is predestined for modern, flexible pick & place small part feeding with vibration plate and image processing. And last but not least, the attractive price and compact size makes the versatile GP4 6-axis robot an interesting alternative to conventional automation with Cartesian motion systems.

Hygienic handling robots for the life sciences sector. The robots in the new MOTOMAN HD series (HD stands for “Hygienic Design”) are able to carry out a wide range of handling tasks in hygiene-sensitive areas including laboratory automation, the pharmaceutical sector and the food industry. They fulfil the stringent requirements of sterile and cleanroom environments: in addition to being suitable for use in hygienic areas up to the highest cleanliness level of GMP Class A in accordance with EHEDG, EN 1672-2 and ISO 14159, they also comply with cleanroom class in accordance with ISO 14644-1, cleanroom class 5 in the case of the HD7 and cleanroom class 4 in the case of the HD8, according to the measurement and evaluation procedure defined in ISO 14644-14. The new series is launched with the MOTOMAN HD7 and HD8 models, offering a payload of 7 kg and 8 kg respectively. They are manufactured at the Yaskawa plant in Kočevje, Slovenia, which is also where they were developed. The MOTOMAN HD series is based on the 6-axis high-performance robots of the well-established MOTOMAN GP portfolio. Like the MOTOMAN industrial robots, they utilise Yaskawa’s latest Sigma 7 servo drive technology, achieving an extremely high level of performance in terms of movement, acceleration and precision. The movement range of axis 1 is +/- 180°. The robots can be combined with the universal YRC1000 robot controller or the YRC1000micro compact controller, both of which offer a wide range of modern options in terms of control, communication, safety and software.

The motoric linear slides from ERO-Führungen are divided into three groups: linear stages, miniature linear stages, and flat linear stages. Linear stages are based on mechanical linear slides and are therefore available in these types of bearings: cross rollers, needle rollers, coated guides, dovetail, and profile rail guides. The miniature linear stages are very compact and are available in 3 different versions (spindle-, toothed belt, and eccentric drive). The flat linear stage is very space saving because of spindle mounted at the side. And so, he has got a low height, even as cross table.

"We need a compact, easy-to-configure and easy-to-control electric short-stroke cylinder" - these were the words of a customer Here it is: MovingCap pushTRACK An electric short stroke cylinder with 45 - 115mm stroke in different force and speed classes. In many cases, short linear positioning operations are required in automated production systems. The linear movements are conventionally realized by pneumatic cylinders. The problems of pneumatic systems are well known: an enormous waste of energy, complex infrastructures for the additionally required compressed air, as well as a high maintenance effort. With our electric linear actuator, we offer the right solution to replace pneumatic cylinders and space-intensive electric alternatives. A direct plug & play into existing systems is very easy, as the flange dimensions are based on the pneumatic compact cylinders according to ISO 15552. MovingCap pushTRACK represents an end-to-end optimized mechatronic system consisting of electrical drive technology mechanics, and integrated sensors and control electronics. The telescopic arrangement allows the push rod to be nested without sacrificing motor performance and power. This results in a very favorable ratio of stroke to overall length. Peak forces up to 750N Speeds up to 1.2m/s. Supply voltage: 24Vdc / 48Vdc
