MECHANICAL ENGINEERING HERITAGE NO.76
All Electric Industrial Robot ‘MOTOMAN-L10’
The ‘MOTOMAN-L10’ is a fully electric industrial robot that was developed and released by Yaskawa Electric Corporation in 1977 for the first time in Japan. The company, which is the origin of the term ‘Mechatronics’, developed the robot with its motor technologies and related applications. As the robot had superior controllability regarding positioning and speed compared with conventional hydraulic robots and maintenance and inspection work was easier, the robot participated actively in arc welding, sealing work, etc. This machine served as a foundation for industrial robots presently supporting a variety of manufacturing process in Japan, including in the automotive industry.
