Company Overview

Yaskawa America, Inc. – Motoman Robotics Division was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, USA. It is the robotics arm of Yaskawa Electric Corporation of Japan and serves as the primary industrial robotics business for the Americas, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. The division operates from a main campus in Miamisburg and maintains regional support and application centers in Rochester Hills (Michigan), Irvine (California), Mississauga (Ontario, Canada), Pointe Claire (Quebec, Canada), Calgary (Alberta, Canada), Aguascalientes (Mexico), Monterrey (Mexico), Queretaro (Mexico), and São Paulo (Brazil).

Yaskawa Motoman offers more than 150 distinct robot models spanning articulated industrial arms, delta robots, and SCARA robots. The product portfolio covers payload capacities and reach envelopes suitable for applications including arc welding, spot welding, assembly, material handling, machine tending, painting and dispensing, material removal, palletizing, picking and packing, press tending, and logistics. Pre-engineered turnkey systems branded as 'ArcWorld,' 'ArcWorld HC,' and other 'World' solutions package a robot, process equipment, and safety infrastructure into application-specific workcells.

The HC Series collaborative robot line is certified for human-collaborative operation and targets welding, palletizing, and assembly tasks where fenceless deployment is required. In 2025, Yaskawa introduced the Motoman NEXT platform under its Physical AI initiative, including the NEX robot series and YNX1000 controller, which support sim-to-real transfer and AI-driven task learning. The YNX Robot Simulator software enables offline programming and virtual commissioning before physical installation.

As of published figures, more than 600,000 Motoman industrial robots have been installed globally, alongside 25 million servo units and 35 million inverter drives by the parent company, Yaskawa Electric Corporation. The parent company has had offices in 30 countries and approximately 15,000 employees worldwide. Yaskawa Motoman provides Yaskawa Academy training (in-person and online), a Knowledge Center, field service, repair and retrofit programs, and a Lifetime Support Commitment for legacy robot models. Social media presence is maintained on LinkedIn, YouTube, X (Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram.
