Applications

Grinding

Present parts to a grinder or move along a specified path. The HP-series robots have the payload capacity for handling large parts.

Finishing & Polishing

GP Series robots are ideal for small part finishing and polishing. For processing larger parts, the MH215 or MH250 are good choices.

Deburring & Profiling

From precise deburring of gears up to 20" in diameter and 10" tall, to profiling irregular edges of molded product, various edge- shaping solutions are available.

Waterjet Cutting

Robotics improve accuracy and cycle times, particularly in waterjet cutting applications.

Laser & Plasma Cutting

Powerful high-speed robots with high-rigidity and precision for cutting small holes and sharp corners in metal.

Milling

Grinding or cutting superfluous material away from a mold to form a specific structure or 3D shape.

Ultrasonic Cutting

Yaskawa Motoman's ultrasonic solution delivers cleaner cuts and infinite flexibility for trimming, routing, deflashing and more.
