Under the trade fair theme “Redefining Adaptive Robotic Automation,” Yaskawa showcases intelligent robotics solutions in real-world applications. They illustrate the extensive possibilities of AI in automation. Similar methods can be observed in well-established sectors like industrial sheet metal manufacturing or warehousing and intralogistics, as well as in areas that were previously minimally automated, such as large-scale catering.
New MOTOMAN NEXT product concept
Yaskawa is now supporting the implementation of these AI robotics solutions with a new product concept, MOTOMAN NEXT, which will be making its debut at Automatica 2025. The product range includes components from Yaskawa and partners. Third-party systems can also be integrated. MOTOMAN NEXT enables a consistently simple implementation and makes it easier for companies of all sizes to get started with AI-based automation.
Comprehensive solutions with i³-Mechatronics
The new portfolio for intelligent robotics solutions is integrated into Yaskawa’s i³-Mechatronics concept. With comprehensive automation, drive, control and robotics solutions, it offers practical, scalable answers to the challenges of Industry 4.0. In doing so, Yaskawa uses synergies as a global technology supplier for both robotics and drive and control technology.
At the Automatica stand, a demo handling cell illustrates the interaction of numerous Yaskawa components and systems in skill-based industrial processes. In addition to the new iCube Control platform, the new Sigma-X servo system is also used in the i³ Mechatronics total solution.
Industrial robots and cobots
Last but not least, Yaskawa will be exhibiting current industrial robots and cobots from its existing portfolio. The versatile 6-axis handling robots of the Motoman GP series now cater for loads between 4 and 600 kg. Cobots are constantly conquering new areas of application, in welding and palletizing as well as in the life sciences industry.
