Yamaha Motor Robotics FA Section has held its 2021 annual distributor conference online, taking advantage of the chance to present diverse content and invite worldwide participation.
The meeting opened with a welcome from the Netherlands by Yamaha Motor Europe’s CEO followed by live presentations from Japan including a new demonstration of the latest equipment capabilities.
Yasushi Miyake, Branch Manager of Yamaha Motor Europe IM business said, “We have handled this year together strongly by supporting our customers and partners consistently and making our teamwork even more purposeful.”
The demonstration highlighting advanced technical capabilities combined Yamaha’s latest YK-XG high-speed, compact SCARA robot and the new LCMR200 linear conveyor modules. The programmable modules deliver next-generation flexibility when transporting items between work processes, including bidirectional motion with software-configurable parameters that are easy to setup and fine-tune. Minimal hardware is needed, with the built-in motor drive and external YHX controller, enabling integrators to create compact and reliable solutions to automation challenges.
