Esab Group Inc and leading robot and robot system company
Yaskawa have announced the signing of a global cooperation agreement to jointly develop and market a line of pre-engineered robotic welding systems called XCellerator, which will be engineered and built by Yaskawa and marketed by Esab through its global sales channels.
Pre-engineered cells like XCellerator are a quick and simple path toward automation as they improve productivity per worker by three- to five-times. The factory-built automated cells are particularly aimed at small and medium-size manufacturers and fabricators that value easy installation, set-up and operation, enabling them to take a confident step toward automating their welding operations.
Yaskawa, a world-leading manufacturer of inverter drives, servo drives, machine controllers, and Motoman industrial robots, operates manufacturing and development facilities in Asia, Europe and North America.
Meanwhile, Esab, is at the forefront of globabl welding and cutting innovations. It connects fabricators with a wide range of products with the latest technologies to solve virtually any industry challenge.
