Motoman Welding Competence: The Smart Choice for Robot Welding

For over 40 years, Yaskawa’s Motoman Welding Competence has helped manufacturers improve welding quality, speed, and efficiency. 

With a wide range of welding robots, positioners, and automation solutions, Yaskawa provides the tools needed to keep up with production demands while maintaining consistent, high-quality welds.

If you’re looking to transition to robot welding or upgrade your current setup, Motoman’s expertise, technology, and support services make it easier to automate welding without unnecessary complexity.

Why Choose YASKAWA for Robot Welding?

Robot welding is about more than automation, it’s about improving consistency, efficiency, and production capacity. Motoman welding robots deliver real benefits through:

Multi-Robot Synchronisation for Large Weldments

Motoman robots can work together in fully synchronised motion, allowing up to eight robots (or 72 axes) to operate under a single controller. This makes it easier to weld large assemblies, automotive chassis, and heavy-duty components with precision.

Fast, Accurate Motion Control

The YRC1000 controller calculates torque and load in real time, optimising movement for smooth, accurate welds. With fast positioning and precise path control, Motoman robots help reduce spatter and rework.

Built for Longevity

Cables and hoses are often a weak point in robot welding, leading to frequent maintenance and downtime. Motoman robots are designed with internal cable routing through the upper arm and wrist joint, protecting cables from heat and wear while improving access to tight fixtures.

Motoman Welding Robots: Designed for Every Application

With payload capacities ranging from 7 kg to 25 kg, and working ranges from 727 mm to 3,124 mm, Motoman’s welding robots are built to handle everything from small, intricate welds to large-scale structural components.

Motoman AR Series – High-Speed Arc Welding Robots

• AR700 & AR900 – Ideal for small parts and light-duty welding applications.

• AR1440 & AR1730 – Designed for general manufacturing and automotive welding, providing fast cycle times and high accuracy.

• AR2010 & AR3120 – Built for heavy-duty welding, including structural steel and large assemblies requiring longer reach and higher payload capacity.

Every model in the AR Series is optimised for fast, repeatable arc welding, ensuring smooth weld beads and reduced rework.

Pre-Engineered Welding Systems for Fast Integration

For manufacturers who need robot welding without a lengthy setup process, Yaskawa offers ArcWorld systems, ready-to-use robotic welding cells that reduce downtime and simplify integration.

Complete Robotic Welding Cells with ArcWorld
