The senior engineer really let the young one take the lead with this conversation. There are several instances in the video where behind his nods of approval, you feel like he has a lot to say, but is keeping it to himself so the junior engineer has the opportunity to shine. We all need leaders like this!

@@JEBavido having worked with sales guys anyone selling a machine like this needs to know almost as much about it as the engineers themselves, hence the term sales engineer. plus they have to be the translators between the client and the team building the machines, it's a tough job to pull of right. if you think Jeremy had a lot of questions, pretend you're in charge of the buying process for one of these and have to sign the check :)

I can definitely vouch for the quality of Yaskawa robots and more importantly the people involved. I am an engineer for a sheet metal fabrication company, and we have two Yaskawa robotic weld cells, an ArcWorld 1000 (a medium sized single arm cell with a DX200 controller), and an ArcWorld 6200 (a large dual arm cell with a YRC1000 controller) and both have been great to program, operate, and design for. Robotic welding can be incredibly productive, but it takes a lot of care to make sure that you are not efficiently filling up the scrap hopper! If you need help with any of the programming or on mechanical side of your new robot, feel free to reach out! Good luck!

@automateeverything2341 Жыл бұрын

I been using Yaskawa robot for years. They are by far my favorite robotics company especially for service and support. Im not a big company so I cant afford to have a tech fly out every time there is a problem. Yaskawa is willing to stay on the phone with me for hours if need be to work through an issue even on older legacy equipment (10+ years old). I almost feel bad taking up so much of their time but they are more than willing to help me out. Compare that to other robotics companies, once I had a error on a Nachi robot, those guys didnt even want to talk to me haha.

A smart company, interested in survival, looks at customer service as another vital point of customer feedback to drive continuous improvement. A spread sheet driven company, interested in quarterly returns, looks at it as an expense. .02 A satisfied customer shops around. Why not? There may by something better. A delighted customer posts impromptu reviews driving growth. "Survival is not compulsory" -W.E.D

@@amusady I mainly use robots to help me with batch operations making furniture parts. I started with an older otc/miller (early 90’s era!) robot around 2015 for arc welding simple stool bases. After that, I was hooked. Over the years, I started buying and selling surplus robots as a side gig which allowed me to keep what I liked best. Although I am by no means an expert, I've had my hands on almost all common brands like fanuc, otc, panasonic, nachi, kaku, ABB, etc. Don't get me wrong, all great machines but of all brands, i've always preferred yaskawa. The machines are great and the support is top notch even on older legacy equipment. The techs are friendly, helpful and enthusiastic (much like in this video). There is also a good amount of support online..things like technical manuals are readily available. That may not seem like a big deal until you try and get a manual for a nachi robot. They’ll tell you to contact your local sales rep and fork over several $100’s basic operation manuals.

@AlexKall Жыл бұрын

I have come to learn that it's very much related to where you live, for me ABB has been the best to work with followed by Fanuc (thanks to the local guru), with ABB I have had direct contact with developers. And ABB has by far the best simulation software on the market compared to Fanuc, Kuka and Yaskawa in my opinion. I know that in the last years, Yaskawa has tried to push the local market a lot more.

This video brought back a very old memory of mine. The first industrial robot (with more than four degrees of motion) I worked on was a Graco spray painting robot. All but one axis was chain driven from the base using hydraulics. In 1985 I was lucky enough to go on a training course in Norway to learn about ABB’s painting robot (called Tralfa, if I recall correctly). That course set me up to work with industrial robotics for the last 35 years 😀 Your videos inspire young ‘engineers’ to learn about robotics and robotic applications. I’ve enjoyed every video of yours I’ve watched.

This reminds me so much of the factory I worked in as a Quality Engineer for John Deere. Obviously theres plenty of differences, but it's really interesting to see a lot of similarities. For example, we ran a test called "spin test" where we pressurize the main chassis before sending it to get painted, just to confirm there aren't any major leaks. The amount of bad/misaligned o-rings or loose fittings that we later found out about (the hard way) always kept the shifts interesting.

These robots are extremely reliable, with MTBF of years of operation. They are also self-diagnosing, which will allow you to find the problem very quickly. The things that fail the most are usually the peripherals, such as welding guns, grippers etc. Don't forget that in applications such as welding, there are consumable items such as welding tips that need to be considered too. Spares are kept for yeas after the exact robot model is phased out also. I had a customer in the UK who had robots that were over 30 years old, still in production. Routine maintenance, especially grease is important.
