About Company

Yaskawa is the world's largest manufacturer of inverter drives, servo drives, servomotors, and related products for controlling motion. Through our product focus and obsession with quality, Yaskawa has earned the reputation for the most reliable, most technically advanced, and longest-lasting products. Our customers enjoy lower ownership costs and increased performance, productivity and profitability of their machines and automated processes. Yaskawa Electric America, Inc., of Waukegan, IL. is a wholly owned corporation of Yaskawa Electric Corporation of Japan. Yaskawa was created in 1915. Yaskawa has grown to be a leader in the motion industry primarily through references from our current customers. They talk about us for one main reason; because we create products and solutions that work better and last longer. Yaskawa products are designed to exceed industry standards for reliability. Products are designed to a calculated Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) which is above industry standard, for use as a base figure. The field tested MTBF is far greater than calculated MTBF! Continuously setting sights higher, and working to achieve these goals, are what make Yaskawa a valuable business partner for your company. Our dedication to total quality control standards enabled us to achieve the most prestigious quality award in the world, the Deming Application Prize. Yaskawa is the first company specializing in industrial electronic equipment to receive the prize. Control Engineering conducts periodic surveys of their subscribers, with an extensive set of questions about their experience with service, support, and product satisfaction with products in various categories. Yaskawa was voted #1 in AC Drives in 2004 and again in the consecutive survey in 2006. The only other AC drive company that scored higher than average is Allen Bradley. They moved from #2 in 2004 to #4 position in 2006. Frost and Sullivan is a market research firm. Excellence in various market categories is acknowledged by these coveted awards. In 2004, Yaskawa was granted the Excellence in Technology award for two significant advancements in the arts and science of Adjustable Speed Control technology that will affect the AC drive market significantly … The Matrix Inverter and Three-Level Inverter Architecture. The Matrix Inverter technology has been introduced in a limited, extremely high-performance application. The Three-Level Inverter architecture is available worldwide in the G7 Drive for 480 volt installations and provides end-user benefits of lower cost installation with long motor-drive lead length, minimal shaft/bearing current, minimal motor noise, and other benefits.
