Vention Joins Yaskawa Motoman’s Partner Network to Enable Rapid Deployment of Smart Series Robots
Vention, a next-generation digital manufacturing platform for industrial equipment, is releasing new hardware components to support rapid deployment of robot cell equipment for Yaskawa’s Smart Series robots. Building on Vention’s library of over 500 modular parts and cloud-based 3D MachineBuilder platform, users can now design, order, and assemble customized equipment for robots like the HC10DT, MotoMini, GP7, and GP8 series—in as little as three days.
In line with Vention's mission to democratize machine design, new hardware for Yaskawa Smart Series robots is compatible with all existing components available on the Vention platform. Over a dozen examples of equipment designs are already available for customization directly on Vention's cloud platform.
End clients and integrators can also leverage the MachineBuilder to design their entire robot cell, including robot riser, part dispenser, part fixturing device, automated conveyor, fencing and guarding, and more.
"We are excited to partner with an innovative automation company whose products complement our Smart Series robots," said Chetan Kapoor, Senior Director of Technology Innovation at Yaskawa Innovation Inc. "Our customers and integration partners will benefit from Vention's rapid deployment capabilities."
"I believe democratization of industrial automation is a powerful long-term trend that will shape the industry in the years ahead, and the Smart Series targets a new category of customers in line with this direction. We are expanding our partner network with a company who invests in simplifying industrial automation deployments," added Patrick Halde, VP of Business Development at Vention.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
