Hanover, Germany, April 11, 2022 – Viscom AG will present a selection of its latest microfocus X-ray tubes at Control in Stuttgart, Germany. Thanks to their impressive flexibility, a previously unattained spectrum of tasks can now be covered with one and the same X-ray source – from the inspection of small, filigree objects and time-optimized series inspections to the radiography of large and massive components.

Yamaha Motor Robotics FA Section will demonstrate industrial robots working together autonomously to raise productivity and reduce waste, on stand no. 314 in Hall B5 at Automatica 2022 in Munich, June 21-24.

At the booth, Yamaha will demonstrate SCARA and cartesian robots cooperating to accelerate adhesive deposition and bonding. Visitors can see how coordination between multiple robots cuts process cycle time to increase output with consistent quality.

A display featuring the LCMR200 linear conveyor module will illustrate flexible workpiece transport with accurate, programmable positioning. Teamed with a cartesian robot, the demonstration will show how the LCMR200’s precision helps to simplify system design as well as increasing throughput and efficiency.

In addition, Yamaha’s Robonity single-axis robots combine slim dimensions with high rigidity and a low centre of gravity to enable stable and space-saving solutions for transport, feeding, and general process automation. The associated EP-01 controller and software tools simplify robot selection, simulation, and programming, and provide real-time performance monitoring. The Robonity lineup also contains motorless actuators that give extra flexibility to customise system capabilities and cost.

Visitors can also see the affordable and high-performing YK-XE SCARA robots, which are available with arm length from 400mm to 710mm and up to 10kg load capacity. By lowering the cost of entry to advanced, flexible automation, the YK-XE series enables businesses large and small to become more productive and competitive.

Yamaha’s robotics experts will be present at the booth, no. 314 in hall B5, throughout the event to describe the demonstrations in detail and answer visitors’ questions.
