Precision Part Positioners

Yaskawa Motoman has extensive worldwide experience integrating servo-controlled welding fixtures and tracks into a broad range of robotic solutions. Our positioners and transporters provide unmatched speed, accuracy, reliability and versatility for customers spanning diverse industries. Using the same field-proven motor controls, they are manufactured to the same exacting standards as Yaskawa robots. We also lead in control technology with multi-tasking software that allows coordination between multiple robots, base axes and multi-axis positioners.

Many of the positioners listed below are standard on our ArcWorld^® pre-engineered welding workcells.

Not all production parts fit nicely into standard workcell. Heavy, long, boxy or tubular parts can be handled by matching the application need with the proper part positioner. And when the application calls for a unique welding setup, Yaskawa Motoman's wide range of positioners provide added flexibility that enables welding in the optimum position. Coordinated motion between the positioner and robot provides increased travel speeds while maintaining the highest weld standards. A variety of custom positioners are depicted below.

Moving the robot greatly increases the working range and application flexibility. Yaskawa Motoman delivers this advantage through a range of versatile transporter configurations. Our MotoSweep™ radial gantry is ideal for freeing up floorspace and allows the robot to be suspended directly over or on either side of a part. MotoRail™ linear transporters can be floor-mounted or suspended to reduce floorspace and can extend long distances. YRC1000 software can coordinate the motion of up to three bases axes (X, Y, Z) for each robot with part positioners. It can also support multiple robots on transporter axes, along with part positioner(s), in a single workcell.
