Introducing Yaskawa's Ace Drive: A1000
-Loaded with environmental features and outstanding performance capabilities, A1000 leads the pack.
Yaskawa predicts continued market expansion with the growing need for more energy efficient production in addition to the already present demand for variable-speed drives. Market demands have moved increasingly towards greater energy conservation and even more compact installations. This is evident in the recent employment of synchronous motors to HVAC systems, and for the first time, high performance drives to fan and pump applications. These trends have led to greater demands for inverter drives that are capable of controlling synchronous motors as well as high performance operation and functionality.
In response to the industry, Yaskawa has stepped ahead of the competition by launching the third edition to its 1000 Series, high performance vector control A1000. Referred to as Yaskawa' s "Ace Drive", A1000 handles not only induction motors, but the same drive also runs permanent magnet motors. The 1000 Series product line is loaded with cutting-edge functionality and powerful cost performance to answer market demands.

World's first!
New application-specific 7-axis robot for arc welding MOTOMAN-VA1400
The MOTOMAN-VA1400 has achieved improvement of productivity and space-saving in the welding line with a high-density and compact layout of the robotic welding system. A higher degree of freedom with 7-axis control as well as built-in torch and grounding cables make the MOTOMAN-VA1400 the ultimate for high-speed arc welding.
High-performance, high-speed welding of any workpiece regardless of length, width, and shape is now possible because the MOTMAN-VA1400 adjusts its posture to keep its arm in the best position for welding at all times. Plus, extra space is not required to prevent interference. Welding process sequences are now be integrated, so one MOTOMAN-VA1400 can do the work of two conventional robots.
The MOTOMAN-VA1400 improves welding quality and productivity, streamlines the layout of welding equipment, requires half the installation space, and makes it possible to construct a high-density, robotic arc-welding system.

Experience the Reliability of Yaskawa's Compact J1000 AC Drive - Now on Sale
For equipment used in industrial systems, high expectations have been placed on general-purpose drives to save energy, and the number of drive-related applications has been increasing.
With the trend to mechanical miniaturization, a strong demand is growing for lower costs and smaller designs of the drive itself. The Yaskawa V1000 series of drives, the first in a new series of drives, became commercially available to fill this need in December 2006. The J1000 series goes one step further with an even compact design and greater savings to be the optimum drives for your industrial needs (available December 21, 2007).
With greater energy savings, Yaskawa's J1000 drives are the ultimate in miniature drives with user-friendly operations and simplified settings. All standard products in the J1000 series are also RoHS-compliant.

Five Times Larger for its Payload! Optimum Robot for Arc Welding MOTOMAN-EA1800N
The MOTOMAN-EA1800N has a 15-kg payload, which is five times larger than the 3-kg payload of conventional robots for arc welding. With a 15% increase in the motion speed of the turning axis, the EA1800N's major axis (turning, lower arm, and upper arm) have the fastest motion speed in its class. As a result, the air cut time in welding can be reduced by 10% (compared with Yaskawa's conventional models).
With a maximum reach of 1807 mm when the upper and lower arms are extended, the EA1800N has the longest reach in its class. And it also has the widest motion range of the major axes in the class.
With the torch cables built into the upper arm of the robot, interference with workpieces, jig or other peripheral devices are eliminated and the feeding of welding wire is stabilized, resulting in the optimal design for arc welding.
Since a water-cooled torch, a servo torch, and a large-sized special torch are capable of built-in, this new robot can be easily applied to different types of arc welding.

The Fastest Motion of its Class!!
Perfect Arc Welding Robot MOTOMAN-SSA2000
The motion speed of the robot axes is up to 40% faster as a result of improved usability and motion performance. The welding cycle time can be reduced by 15% compared to our conventional models, allowing greater productivity.
The SSA2000 features integrated through-the-arm torch cabling, which smoothly feeds the welding wire and eliminates cable interference with the workpiece or jig. The SSA2000 is highly compatible with our conventional models, as the same range of motion and installation dimensions are maintained. Peripheral devices and equipment for arc welding are compatible as well.
