Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.
Japanese multinational (founded 1955) making motorcycles, marine products, and industrial robots (SCARA, single-axis, cartesian, articulated) for automation.
Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational corporation founded in 1955 and headquartered in Iwata, Shizuoka, Japan. The company's industrial robotics division, established commercially in 1981, produces one of the world's broadest lineups of factory automation robots, including SCARA robots (reaches 120 mm to 1200 mm, max payload 50 kg), single-axis robots (up to 4000 mm travel, max payload 160 kg), Cartesian/XY robots, multi-axis articulated robots, and linear conveyor modules. The robotics business traces its origins to 1974 internal R&D for motorcycle assembly automation; Yamaha's SCARA robot CAME entered production in 1979 and became a commercial product in 1983.
Robot applications span electronics assembly, automotive parts handling, semiconductor production, food processing, and inspection. The company also manufactures surface mounters for PCB assembly. In 2025, Yamaha established TY Robotics Co., Ltd. as a joint venture with Taiwan's TOYO Automation to expand industrial robot production capacity.
