1915
Firstly, Together with his older brothers, Daigorou Yaskawa (Yaskawa Automation Device) opened an office in Kurosaki, Kitakyushu City. There, in April 1915, was founded.
1917
Secondly, In 1917, the first order product for the company, a 20 HP three-phase induction motor, was delivered. It has orders for induction motors from coal mining companies for the skewer hoisting equipment.
1935
Yahata steel plants in Japan, which produced iron, received a synchronous motor with 4,000 HP and 250 rpm in 1935.
1948
The first export agreement after the Second World War was signed in 1948, and Yaskawa actively tried exporting in the 1940s.
1950
A ground-breaking and user-friendly component called the VS motor, which has also, variable speed and a remote control was created in 1950.
1958
Since the invention of the inertia motor in 1958, remarkable control abilities have been enhanced, with response times that are 100 times faster than those of conventional models. It displayed a prototype of a crucial servomotor Yaskawa part.
1960.
In the 1960s, Yaskawa made significant motion control technology advancements and also, created various products as an applied model for small motors.
In 1972, the newly created term “mechatronics” was registered as a trademark. It commercialized a line of electrically challenging automatic equipment in the 1960s, including the MOTO fingers and MOTO arms, Because later served as the cornerstone of our robotics industry.
Finally, In the 1960s, the idea of an unmanned factory proposed combining a detector, controller, and actuator to automate the trinity.
1977
Robotic legend MOTOMAN-L10 from Yaskawa, the first fully electric robot, was completed in 1997.
1992
In 1992, the small-volume AC servo drive (Sigma) series also, went on sale to achieve complete miniaturization and high performance. The current motion control industry was founded on it.
2003
Additionally, MECHATROLINK Members Club (MMC) was established by Yaskawa (Yaskawa Automation Device) in 2003 and is a networked MECHATROLINK suitable for motion control.
2009
Especially, Using motor drive technology. The QMET (Qualified Magnetic Electronic Transmission) motor drive system for HEV, consists of a motor and power control unit. Was created in 2009.
