YASKAWA Electric Corporation

Established in Kitakyushu, Japan, in 1915, YASKAWA Electric Corporation operates globally, focusing on motion control, robotics, and industrial system engineering. The company produces and distributes a comprehensive array of AC drives, encompassing general-purpose, specialized, and system-specific models, alongside regenerative energy-saving units and PM motors. These products are widely deployed in household appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators; critical social infrastructure like elevators, escalators, trains, cranes, fans, and pumps; and diverse manufacturing facilities including those for printing, textile, and rubber machinery. YASKAWA's sophisticated motion control offerings include rotary and direct-drive servo motors, linear motors/sliders, advanced machine controllers, precision positioning sensor encoders, and powerful servo amplifiers. These integral components are essential for industrial robots, semiconductor fabrication equipment, machine tools, flat panel display production lines, and metalworking machinery. Within its robotics division, YASKAWA supplies a broad spectrum of robots tailored for numerous industrial applications. This includes systems for arc and spot welding, material handling and assembly, collaborative work, biomedical tasks, palletizing, press handling, sealing, cutting, laser machining, deburring, painting, and specialized transfer roles for both glass substrates and semiconductor wafers. Additionally, the company delivers resilient industrial system electrical products, such as medium and system-voltage AC drives and sophisticated system controllers. These are vital for demanding sectors like iron and steel production, water and wastewater treatment plants, crane operations, and various manufacturing processes in the paper, film, port cargo handling, fiber, and printing industries. Dedicated to advancing energy efficiency and generation, YASKAWA also engineers equipment like photovoltaic (PV) inverters, systems for large wind turbines, control apparatus for small-scale power generation units, and motor drive systems for electric vehicles. These solutions support solar and large-scale wind power generation, decentralized energy systems, and the burgeoning electric vehicle market.
