Fast Robotics now presents Yaskawa Motoman’s line of commercial robots. | Supply: Fast Robotics

Fast Robotics introduced a brand-new integration with Yaskawa America, Inc., Motoman Robotics Div. (Yaskawa Motoman) that can carry industrial capabilities to Fast Robotics’ Fast Machine Operator (RMO).

The corporate is now built-in with your complete Yaskawa robotics portfolio, and may ship extra velocity, larger payload and elevated efficiency to a higher variety of North American producers with a extra numerous vary of wants.

“Since our founding in 2019, Fast Robotics has been dedicated to offering producers with a holistic workforce resolution within the type of accessible, low-risk automation,” Jordan Kretchmer, CEO and Co-Founding father of Fast Robotics, stated. “At this time, we’re capable of ship on that dedication higher than ever by means of our partnership with Yaskawa Motoman and their legacy of commercial experience.”

By combining superior laptop imaginative and prescient, synthetic intelligence and instinctive studying with as-a-service traits together with cloud connectivity, month-to-month leasing and 24/7 assist, Fast Robotics has aimed to democratize automation within the face of an intense workforce scarcity.

Now, with the Yaskawa portfolio as an built-in a part of the corporate’s suite of options, producers needing an industrial-size resolution that beforehand couldn’t automate attributable to conventional obstacles like price, inflexibility or prolonged deployments, may have the chance to automate.

“A trusted title in industrial automation for over 100 years, Yaskawa is a longtime chief within the robotics market. A partnership with Fast Robotics opens the door to automation for a lot of enterprises which have beforehand discovered it tough or intimidating to deploy robotic options,” Chris Caldwell, Product Supervisor of Yaskawa Motoman, stated. “Yaskawa is worked up for the chance to supply actually industrial options, increasing Fast Robotics’ capabilities whereas offering improved cycle-times and return-on-investment for finish customers. By combining strengths, Fast Robotics’ superior imaginative and prescient techniques and state-of-the-art AI enable Yaskawa’s full line of robotic manipulators to shift repetitive or harmful duties away out of your human workforce, releasing them to carry out extra fulfilling work.”

A trademark of Fast Robotics’ options is a excessive velocity of deployment. This holds true for the brand new industrial RMO as a result of firm’s modular strategy to work cell design. Streamlined industrial Yaskawa robots with strong capabilities take full benefit of that strategy, avoiding interference with peripheral gadgets, and holding the set up area of an industrial RMO work cell minimal.

A key characteristic of this re-imagined work cell is an progressive cellular robotic pedestal with modular fixturing. The cellular pedestal offers this mild industrial arm the identical flexibility as Fast Robotics’ collaborative robotic (cobot) resolution because the pedestal might be simply moved or reconfigured after which re-locked into place by a single particular person.

Traditionally, industrial robotic arms might be more difficult and time-consuming to deploy than their cobot counterparts, particularly exterior of mass manufacturing environments, attributable to their complexity and the intensive security measures required. Fast Robotics’ industrial RMO presents all the pliability of a cobot resolution whereas assembly all obligatory security measures with the added payload, velocity and attain of a standard industrial arm.
