YASKAWA Motoman on Güdel

Why YASKAWA Motoman turns to Güdel for their 7th axis needs : a testimonial from Automate 2015. “We’ve had a 15 year relationship with Güdel,” said Roger Christian, VP Marketing and Development, YASKAWA Motoman, “and we work with Güdel because the quality of their product matches the quality of our product.” Christian goes on to explain that Yaskawa Motoman engineering teams work with Güdel engineers “… to give us the extension we need in fields like machine loading and unloading, machine tending and of course arc welding which is one of our largest niches in the industry.” YASKAWA Motoman is experienced with welding very large parts, and they have big robots, but as Christian notes, not big enough to handle parts that weigh 10 or 20 tons. He credits the relationship with Güdel for providing “that extension, that reach, both traversly and vertically, to get after really large parts.”
