Yamaha Motor Europe's IM division has announced a major order for a complete surface assembly line from Nidec Group's Control Techniques, including the UK's first purchase of Yamaha's new YST15 component tower. The high-speed surface assembly line comprises Yamaha's latest YSP printer, four YSM20 assembly machines, and the YSi-V, a powerful 2D + 3D inspection system that delivers industry-leading performance. The YST15 component tower stores up to 1,500 reels and can load or unload up to 27 reels at a time, interacting with the line via Yamaha Factory software tools.
"Our new Yamaha state-of-the-art assembly line, featuring advanced 3D optical inspection and connected component storage, enhances our ability to produce technically advanced and compact motor controls, and continually raise the bar for performance and value delivered to customers," says Deep Sheth, Director of Industrial Engineering, Control Techniques.
