As part of the global R&D group of Yaskawa Electric (Japan), we are heavily involved in developing next generation technology for the motion industry. We are especially active in the areas of smart controllers, drives, encoders, motion algorithms, communication interfaces and software applications.

Our R&D team works closely with the Yaskawa R&D centers on both common and local projects.

The local R&D team includes engineers who are highly skilled in the following areas: software, hardware, algorithms and mechanical design.

Our core areas of knowledge include:

• Servo and motion control algorithms
• Embedded/RT software development
• Digital board design
• Windows based software (.NET)
• Various Fieldbus protocols: CANopen, Profibus, Modbus, Powerlink, EtherCAT and Mechatrolink
