Changing PLC platforms can mean rebuilding work you've already done. But what if more of that work could come with you?

IEC 61131-10 is helping make PLC applications more portable between compatible engineering environments.

Product Specialist Daniel Hollman explains how the standard works and what it could mean for machine builders.

Great customer relationships are built on more than the work we do together.

While attending IWF Atlanta, our Motion team enjoyed a night at the Braves vs. Dodgers game with Thermwood Corporation! ⚾

We’re grateful for every opportunity to get to know our customers beyond the projects we work on together and build relationships that go deeper than business.

That's a wrap on IWF Atlanta! 👋

Four days of demos, sand drawings, machines in motion and, best of all, great conversations with people from across the woodworking industry.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Yaskawa booth to see what was moving, ask our engineers a question or talk about the machine control challenges behind your applications.

From CNC and woodworking equipment to advanced manufacturing, every machine may be different, but precision, performance and expertise matter across them all.

And Booth B8041 wasn't the only place we spotted Yaskawa's solutions this week... stay tuned 👀

What does sand art have to do with CNC machine control? 🌀

Our brand-new Compass™ 2 demo is made its debut at IWF Atlanta, turning designs into precise, coordinated movement right before your eyes.

While the finished sand designs are fun to watch, they're also putting CNC machine control, precision and coordinated motion on display with every pass.

Watch Rose take you behind the sand art to show how Compass 2 and Yaskawa motion technology come together to help machine builders bring advanced CNC applications to life.

Stop by and see what we'll draw next!

Only one more day until IWF Atlanta! 🪵

The demos are in place, the connections have been tested, the carpet is rolled out, and setup is officially complete.

Kick off by saying hello to our team at Booth B8041 and seeing what's possible with Yaskawa machine control.

Catch our latest Compass™ 2 demo and watch your designs take shape right before your eyes.

You can also explore iCube Control, Sigma-X servo technology and robotic solutions from Yaskawa Motoman.

See you tomorrow, Atlanta! 👋

Boxes packed and backpacks ready! 🎒

This month, Yaskawa associates came together to generously donate boxes of backpacks, notebooks, crayons, markers, and other classroom essentials. ✏️

All supplies will support students in Franklin Public School District and the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District, helping them start the school year prepared and ready to learn. 📚

A big shoutout to our Fun Committee for rolling up their sleeves to sort, organize, and pack all of the donations for delivery. 📦

Thank you to everyone who helped support local students and the future leaders in our community! 💙

Need to get up to speed on VFDs? 🎧

VFD Vibes brings you conversations about variable frequency drives, industry trends, applications, and the technology behind them, all designed to make complex topics a little easier to understand.

Whether you're looking to learn something new, brush up on the basics, or hear from experts who know drives inside and out, there’s an episode for you.

🎙️ Catch up on VFD Vibes and listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube.

🎬 From factories to film sets... Yaskawa technology powers applications in places you might never expect.

One recent project has our drives helping operate a custom motion system used to move performers during complex action sequences on a movie set.

In the video, the VFD is running at just 5 Hz during initial testing. During production, it will operate at 35 Hz, approximately 7x faster, delivering the speed and precise control the application requires.

It's always exciting to see industrial automation solving unique engineering challenges outside of traditional manufacturing.

⚙️ No matter the application, precision, reliability, and performance matter.
