Yaskawa Benelux
About us
YASKAWA is one of the world’s leading manufacturers in the fields of drive technology, industrial automation and robotics based in Kitakyushu, Japan. Founded in 1915, we see ourselves as a pioneer in these sectors, always striving to optimise the productivity and efficiency of machines and industrial systems with our innovations.
For over 100 years now, our products and solutions have been supporting automation in a wide variety of industrial processes including mining, mechanical engineering and toolmaking, as well as the automotive, packaging, wood processing, lift, textile and semiconductor industries.
The activities of YASKAWA are divided into 4 areas:
Motion Control (inverter drives, servo drives, servomotors, machine controllers), Robotics (industrial robots, service robots, robot systems), System Engineering (medium-voltage inverters, generators and converters) and Information Technology (software, information processing).
Products
Packaging & Palletising
Custom solutions for packaging technology From motion controllers to robotics Packaging technology relies on powerful and reliable automation components. For plant operators, unplanned downtime is not acceptable – particularly at the end of the production chain. This applies to bagging and blister pack machines as well as for cartoners or any type of form, fill and seal machines. In order for such automated processes to run with precision, all of the individual components – from the controller to the robotics – must work together seamlessly. For mechanical engineers, it is easier, more effective and more cost-efficient to relay on the products and expertise of a single manufacturer. YASKAWA has long established itself as a reliable automation partner in the world of modern packaging technology, with today’s powerful motion controllers and drive systems combined with a wide range of robot solutions designed specifically for packaging systems to enable quick and convenient machine solutions.
Handling & Assembly
Material handling Material handling robots are used to move, feed or disengage parts or tools to or from a specific location, or to transfer parts from one machine to another. Manufacturing companies all over the world integrate material handling robots into their systems due to their speed, precision and cost-effectiveness. Compared to manual material handling, they also provide a consistent standard of quality and a high level of repeat accuracy. Industrial robots, many of which feature vision technology or other equipment, relieve factory personnel from tedious and dull production line tasks, resulting in increased productivity and product quality. The robots eliminate downtime, reduce labour costs and provide a high return on investment. They can also operate 24 hours a day all year round.
