Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. is set to unveil a range of advanced factory-automation and transport technologies at the 2025 International Robot Exhibition (iREX), being held from 3–6 December in Tokyo.
Under the theme “μ to km – Robotics Transportation,” Yamaha will demonstrate how its latest robotics, mobility and automation systems work together to create smarter, more efficient production environments. The lineup spans everything from micron-accurate conveyor technology to autonomous vehicles capable of travelling across large factory sites.
Key Technologies on Display
Linear Conveyor Module (LCMR200)
Yamaha will showcase the fully updated LCMR200 system, including:
- A new oval-type linear track
- A high-payload version for heavier workpieces
- A live demo paired with a surface-mounter
- A cost-saving “slider return” system using the Free Module
Single-Axis Robots
|A broad selection of Yamaha’s latest single-axis robots will be shown in motion, including:
- Seven low-profile space-saving models
- High-precision variants
- Long-stroke units capable of up to 4,000 mm of travel
SCARA Robots
Yamaha will present real-world use cases and several demos, including:
- The YK1200XG — able to move payloads up to 50 kg
- A feeder-plus-2D-picking demo
- New AI-driven technologies under development
New 7-Axis Collaborative Robot
The newly developed Yamaha 7-axis Cobot will make its exhibition debut.
Designed for smooth, fluid movement in tight workspaces, it can:
- Reach around obstacles
- Mount to AGVs and AMRs
- Perform picking tasks using a 3D camera and AI-based object recognition
Autonomous Factory Transport
Yamaha will also demonstrate a combined system using:
- A Yamaha AGV
- The FG-01 autonomous outdoor-capable transport vehicle
Derived from Yamaha’s golf-car technology, the FG-01 can operate on wet, uneven or sloped surfaces.
It is also used in the eve auto service — a joint venture with TIER IV — to support automated logistics and relieve labour shortages in large factory environments.
Yamaha’s iREX 2025 exhibit highlights the company’s expanding capability in robotics, automation and smart-factory transport — areas central to its long-term vision of enabling people and industries to work smarter through advanced technology.
