The Global Technology Awards recognize innovations that improve manufacturing performance and environmental considerations. The YSP10 achieves both through the introduction of enhanced motion control that reduces cycle time by 20%, optional features that automate product changeovers, and an advanced printhead design that minimizes cleaning paper usage.
“This Global Technology Award recognizes printing as the foundation of all subsequent assembly processes and, therefore, as critical to achieving optimal end-of-line results,” says Ryosuke Nakamura, Branch Manager, Yamaha Motor Europe IM Business. “The YSP10 is designed to overcome today’s manufacturing challenges, effectively reducing waste while increasing speed, efficiency, accuracy, and repeatability.”.
Introduced in January 2019, the YSP10 is specifically designed for unprecedented high-speed contact time and fully automated product changeovers, leveraging automatic push-up pin swapping, template replacement, and weld transfer. Setting a new benchmark among high-end printers, the YSP10 delivers high performance in any surface mount manufacturing environment and reaches its full potential when integrated in-line with YSM assembly lines, YSi inspection systems, and the Factory 4.0 software tools of the Yamaha Total Line Solution.
