Yaskawa Celebrates a Century

Motoman Robot­ics is a name known far and wide in the robot­ics indus­try. But, did you know that Motoman is only part of a larg­er com­pa­ny called Yaskawa? The Yaskawa Elec­tric Cor­po­ra­tion has been alive and well since it was found­ed in Japan in 1915. Yaskawa has tak­en the 100-year anniver­sary as a time to reflect on its accom­plish­ments, while also mov­ing into the future, releas­ing its new cor­po­rate logo this year at Auto­mate 2015. 

“Cel­e­brat­ing our 100 year anniver­sary pro­vides an oppor­tu­ni­ty to reflect on the val­ues that have made us suc­cess­ful,” stat­ed Jun­ji Tsu­da in a press release on Motoman​.com. Tsu­da is the rep­re­sen­ta­tive direc­tor, chair­man, and pres­i­dent of Yaskawa. These val­ues include offer­ing their cus­tomers inno­v­a­tive prod­ucts that con­tin­ue to push the bound­aries in their respec­tive fields. Some of these tech­no­log­i­cal advances include a super syn­chro­nous motor, min­er­tia motor, and the Motoman L10 robot, accord­ing to the press release.

While Yaskawa began as a min­ing equip­ment pro­duc­er for Daig­oro Yasukawa in 1915, it has grown into a mas­sive inter­na­tion­al com­pa­ny with 28 loca­tions across the globe. As a pro­duc­er of a vari­ety of dri­ve, motion, and switch elec­tron­ic prod­ucts, it makes sense that as robot­ic tech­nol­o­gy began to appear, the com­pa­ny would even­tu­al­ly begin to build them as well.

Yaskawa Motoman began oper­a­tion in 1989, and offers a wide range of robots that can per­form vir­tu­al­ly any robot­ic appli­ca­tion. Like any proud par­ent, Yaskawa Elec­tric Cor­po­ra­tion has watched Motoman grow over the years, demon­strat­ing a con­tin­ued pas­sion for automa­tion and con­tin­u­ing to be one of the largest man­u­fac­tur­ers of indus­tri­al robot­ics worldwide.
