10 Noteworthy Robot Exhibits at Automate 2022

Yaskawa cobot welding table in development

In its Automate booth, Yaskawa Motoman displayed industrial automation, collaborative robots, and controllers. Don Doersam, senior exhibits manager at Yaskawa America Inc., pointed out a cobot welding table with a system still in development. It uses Yaskawa’s HC10 robot arm, which will provide flexibility for users, he told Robotics 24/7.

The company said its ArcWorld RS and HS enclosed welding workcells require only 2.3 sq. m (25 sq. ft.) and 1.4 sq. m (15 sq. ft.) of floor space, respectively. They’re designed to be easily integrated into existing processes, said Yaskawa. It also offers the six-axis GA50 robot for laser welding, cutting, and dispensing.

Yaskawa promoted its Universal Welcome Interface, a pendant application for Miller and Lincoln Electric controllers for arc welding. In addition, it showed the extended-reach GP70L robot, which can reach about 3 m (18 ft.) and is designed for tasks including palletizing.
