YK400XE
Yamaha RoboticsThe YK400XE is a 4-axis SCARA industrial robot manufactured by Yamaha Motor, launched September 2019 as the economy successor to the YK400XR. It features a 400 mm arm reach, 4 kg maximum payload, ±0.01 mm repeatability, and a 0.41-second standard cycle time, paired with the RCX340 controller. It is a fixed, programmed industrial automation device designed for assembly, packing, sorting, inspection, sealing, and precision tasks — it executes its programmed task autonomously once deployed. Note: a significant portion of the extracted facts (quadruped robot, e-bike hardware, motorcycle engine teardown, mobile manipulator, etc.) are clearly from unrelated systems and have been excluded from this reconciliation.

Evidence-graded claims from the Yamaha Robotics deep report
Yamaha's industrial robots (SCARA, Cartesian, cobot, surface mounters) operate fully autonomously once programmed — humans only perform setup, commissioning, and maintenance, not the tasks themselves.
An independent industrial maintenance community on Reddit [13] confirms these robots operate in production environments with human involvement limited to commissioning and maintenance, corroborating the vendor's autonomy description — though the sample is anecdotal and not a formal audit.
from Yamaha Robotics deep report →Yamaha Motor acquired Robotics Plus to build autonomous AI-powered equipment for the specialty crop agriculture market.
Robotics Tomorrow [10], an independent trade publication, reported the acquisition with a direct quote from the announcement, confirming the deal and its agricultural autonomy focus — though actual deployed product performance in the field remains unverified.

Yamaha's 7-axis cobot autonomously adapts its posture to avoid interference in confined spaces, enabled by torque sensors in all 7 axes — without human intervention during task execution.
Only Yamaha's own official product page [2] describes the 7-axis structure and torque sensors; no independent test, customer report, or third-party benchmark in the dossier verifies the autonomous posture-adaptation claim in real-world deployment.
from Yamaha Robotics deep report →The cobot achieves ±0.04 mm repeatability (ISO 9283) with a 10 kg payload at 1,300 mm reach and 3,000 mm/s TCP speed.
All four specifications are sourced exclusively from Yamaha's own official product page [2]; no independent lab test, standards-body certification result, or third-party validation appears in the dossier.
from Yamaha Robotics deep report →Yamaha established the TY ROBOTICS joint venture with TOYO in August 2025 to transfer single-axis and Cartesian robot production and expand the model lineup.
The sole source is Yamaha Motor's own official news release [11]; no independent reporting, regulatory filing, or third-party confirmation of the joint venture's operational status or production transfer progress appears in the dossier.
from Yamaha Robotics deep report →Yamaha's SCARA robots offer up to 1,200 mm arm reach and 50 kg payload, while Cartesian/single-axis robots achieve ±5 µm repeatability with strokes up to 4,050 mm.
These specs come from a 2017 distributor catalog PDF [4] (YRG Inc.), which is not an independent test and is nearly a decade old; current model specifications may differ and no third-party benchmark validates these figures.
from Yamaha Robotics deep report →Yamaha's cobot is commercially deployed across multiple real-world process applications — screw tightening, sealing, visual inspection, polishing, and connector insertion — with named partner companies for each process.
Partner companies (SANYO MACHINE WORKS, ThreeBond, Phoxter, FUJI CORPORATION) are listed only on Yamaha's own product page [2]; no independent customer case study, production volume data, or third-party deployment report in the dossier confirms actual at-scale commercial deployment.
