YASKAWA AT SPS 2023: AUTOMATION IN ALL ITS FACETS

Once again, Yaskawa is focusing on the iCube CONTROL automation platform: The system forms a technically coordinated total solution for industry-specific controllers—including everything from engineering software and controller hardware to integrated chip technology. And it has the potential to do so much more. After this new platform was presented for the first time at the last SPS trade fair, the complete portfolio of the iC922x series of control systems will now follow this year.

The Yaskawa portfolio of HMIs and panel PCs also promises hardware and software innovations: Aside from the many other features, the new generation can be programmed with new visualization software. This is integrated into iCube Engineer, the software environment of the iCube CONTROL platform.

In the area of elevator-specific frequency inverters, Yaskawa is also making the most of the trade fair to provide an exclusive preview of the upcoming LA700 series: The newly developed devices are powerful and flexible, yet quieter to operate and can be programmed and monitored remotely using an app.

Yaskawa is responding to the recent changes in the automation industry by offering a compatible alternative that is available directly from the warehouse: The 300S+ high-speed control system ensures that the existing control environment is fully equipped for the future.

And not forgetting the Yaskawa robots, which you can also catch a glimpse of in action at the SPS: The topics of focus include the current Cobot ecosystem, Motoman industrial robots for handling, welding, palletizing and many other applications, as well as “made in Europe” robots.
