Robotiq Announces Partnership with Motoman



Robotiq and Motoman Robotics Division of Yaskawa America, Inc., today announce a partnership between the two companies. What it means for customers is that they'll be able to buy a robot and the Adaptive Gripper from Motoman as a single-source. It also means that the folks at Motoman will be skilled at integrating the gripper to enable the automation of applications and tasks that were, up until now, requiring either human dexterity or a large amount of custom tooling.
