YAMAHA Intelligent Machinery Expands Industrial Robotics Line-Up
May 20, 2020 | Yamaha Intelligent MachineryEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The YAMAHA industrial robotics group of the Intelligent Machinery Division, based in the company’s Marietta facility, announces the addition of the new YK610XE-10 (610mm arm length) and YK710XE-10 (710mm arm length) models to the YK-XE Series of SCARA robots. The two new models build on the high motion performance and low cost of the current YK-XE Series. Both models deliver high performance, with 10kg maximum payload and standard cycle time of 0.39 seconds (YK610XE-10) or 0.42 seconds (YK710XE-10), contributing to higher productivity.
Additionally, the accessible pricing for these models enables developing production facilities with high performance at lower cost.
Combined with the YK400XE-4 (400mm arm length) launched last year, the YK-XE Series now includes three models. The expanded product lineup also covers a broader range of applications, encompassing not only assembly, conveyance, and sorting of small components such as are included in smartphones and PCs, but also large components found in automobiles and in-home appliances.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
