For designers, builders and users of automated packaging equipment, the action of the Yaskawa Packaging Automation demo is more than merely an eye-catching spectacle. The Yaskawa demo shows off the power of Singular Control, the ability to program every element of a multi-robot work cell with a single Yaskawa machine controller. Using familiar IEC programming, packaging professionals can create new machinery with ease and change configurations without rewriting software.
Knight Global wanted to enter the market for low cost material handling hoists, but they weren’t willing to compromise their reputation for servo-driven reliability and ultra smooth operation. This proved difficult until they found a servo system manufacturer with the best combination of performance, compact size and affordability. They also gained a bonus: a supplier willing to sit side-by-side through the complex process of software development.
