Fast Robotics now provides Yaskawa Motoman’s line of business robots. | Supply: Fast Robotics
Fast Robotics introduced a brand-new integration with Yaskawa America, Inc., Motoman Robotics Div. (Yaskawa Motoman) that may 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, greater payload and elevated efficiency to a larger variety of North American producers with a extra various vary of wants.
“Since our founding in 2019, Fast Robotics has been dedicated to offering producers with a holistic workforce answer within the type of accessible, low-risk automation,” Jordan Kretchmer, CEO and Co-Founding father of Fast Robotics, stated. “At present, we’re in a position to ship on that dedication higher than ever by means of our partnership with Yaskawa Motoman and their legacy of business experience.”
By combining superior pc 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 answer that beforehand couldn’t automate as a result of conventional boundaries like price, inflexibility or prolonged deployments, might have the chance to automate.

“A trusted identify 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 numerous enterprises which have beforehand discovered it troublesome or intimidating to deploy robotic options,” Chris Caldwell, Product Supervisor of Yaskawa Motoman, stated. “Yaskawa is happy 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 method to work cell design. Streamlined industrial Yaskawa robots with strong capabilities take full benefit of that method, avoiding interference with peripheral gadgets, and holding the set up area of an industrial RMO work cell minimal.
A key function of this re-imagined work cell is an revolutionary cell robotic pedestal with modular fixturing. The cell pedestal offers this gentle industrial arm the identical flexibility as Fast Robotics’ collaborative robotic (cobot) answer because the pedestal may be simply moved or reconfigured after which re-locked into place by a single individual.
Traditionally, industrial robotic arms may be tougher and time-consuming to deploy than their cobot counterparts, particularly exterior of mass manufacturing environments, as a result of their complexity and the intensive security measures required. Fast Robotics’ industrial RMO provides all the flexibleness of a cobot answer whereas assembly all necessary security measures with the added payload, velocity and attain of a standard industrial arm.
