The company has been constantly innovating in large and small ways, from introducing the L10WA in 1983 (the first 6-axis robot to feature an extra wrist) to the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yaskawa.com\/products\/robotics\/robots-with-iec\/miniature-robots\/motomini\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MotoMini<\/a>, one of the smallest and lightest 6-axis robot in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this spotlight on Yaskawa, we&#8217;ll look at how you can program Yaskawa robots easily for your chosen application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-yaskawa-story-what-sets-yaskawa-robots-apart\">The Yaskawa Story: What Sets Yaskawa Robots Apart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yaskawa has passed some momentous milestones in recent years. In 2015, it celebrated its 100th anniversary and in 2021 they sold their 500,000th robot. With this rising popularity, many more people are using Yaskawa robots for a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded by Daigorou Yasukawa, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yaskawa-global.com\/company\/profile\/history\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the company&#8217;s story<\/a> began in 1915 when it began manufacturing three-phase induction motors. Yaskawa&#8217;s robotic journey began in the 1960s with the introduction of various robotic products, including MOTO fingers and arms. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yaskawa-global.com\/technology\/history\/robotics\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Their first full electric robot,<\/a> MOTOMAN-L10, was completed in 1977.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yaskawa&#8217;s core brand values revolve around the principles of quality, profitability, and market satisfaction. The company is committed to using its technologies to improve management efficiency and contribute to social development and human welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-biomedical.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-biomedical-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-biomedical-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-biomedical-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-biomedical-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-biomedical.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-industries-are-yaskawa-robots-used-in-\">What Industries are Yaskawa Robots Used In?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yaskawa&#8217;s industrial robots have found widespread adoption across various sectors, solidifying its position as a global leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the electrical and electronic manufacturing industry, companies utilize Yaskawa robots throughout the entire production process, from upstream production to downstream testing and shipping. Their smaller robots prove particularly advantageous for manufacturers operating within limited space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For industries like biomedical and semiconductor manufacturing, Yaskawa provides specific robot solutions that can operate under hygiene control requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other industries include food production, logistics, and automotive manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-example-applications-for-yaskawa-robots\">3 Example Applications for Yaskawa Robots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever application you are looking to deploy, it&#8217;s likely a Yaskawa robot exists to help you to achieve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 3 example applications from different industries that people are already achieving with Yaskawa robots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-electronics-mounting-welding-and-painting\">1. Electronics mounting, welding, and painting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the &#8220;3C&#8221; industry (Communication, Computer, and Consumer Electronics), robots are involved at almost all stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yaskawa robots are often used in the construction and finishing of circuit boards. This includes assembly of the casings, welding and soldering of metal pieces, and painting of the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A particular challenge for such applications is often space restrictions, which Yaskawa has addressed with a range of small, light robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-experiment-preparation-and-analysis\">2. Experiment preparation and analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the biomedical manufacturing industry, Yaskawa robotic solutions that operate under strict hygiene controls with high precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One type of application in this industry includes the preparation of biological specimens for testing and running of the tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using such robots, the skilled biological researchers can focus on more high-level tasks like analyzing the data gathered during the tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-flat-panel-display-glass-transporting\">3. Flat Panel Display Glass Transporting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many applications in the semiconductor manufacturing industry are suitable for robotic automation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One such task involves manufacturing Flat Panel Display (FPD) glass, which companies use to produce computer monitors, smartphones, and televisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robots are an ideal solution for handling and processing of this glass as even small amounts of dust can jeopardize the product quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-flat-panel-display.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-flat-panel-display-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-flat-panel-display-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-flat-panel-display-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-flat-panel-display-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/yaskawa-robots-flat-panel-display.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"options-for-programming-yaskawa-robots\">Options for Programming Yaskawa Robots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever application you choose for your Yaskawa robot, it&#8217;s important to find a method of programming that helps you to deploy the robot easily and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 3 main options for programming a Yaskawa robot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Brand Programming Langauge: Inform II \u2014<\/strong> the primary language for programming is Inform II, though Yaskawa also supports some PLC-integrated options.
