Japanese robotics manufacturer Yaskawa has unveiled its new ‘Signature’ series of robots.
The new range can reportedly be delivered in short lead times, with a low carbon footprint and tailored to client needs.
What’s more, the new series encompasses Yaskawa’s previous GP lines, including the GP7, GP12, GP20, GP25, GP50, GP88 and the GP180, to help the Signature range support a variety of user requirements.
Yaskawa claims this line includes a range of capabilities, with robots varying from payloads of just 7kg (15.4 lb) and a range of 927mm (36.5in) to the performance of the GP180, which can reportedly manage payloads as much as 180kg (396.8 lb) across a range of 2702mm (106.3in).
The series’ key benefits are supposedly high accelerations, speed, energy efficiency and compact footprint.
The company claims that its multi-axis YRC1000 controller, which uses a multitasking CPU, an operating system and Yaskawa’s Sigma7 servo technology, can support the range’s performance and provide improved functional safety (FSU).
Yaskawa is a provider of robotic systems for a variety of applications, including welding, palletising, handling, packaging, assembly and pick and place.
