One of the benefits of the Yaskawa DX200 controller is that the robot is programmed using the same Add-On-Instructions used in the Rockwell Automation programming environment. Operators and maintenance technicians already familiar with the Allen-Bradley PLC can now easily program the work-cell and robot with minimal retraining. This makes integrating the robot systems into an Allen-Bradley standardised production line easier.

CSi says that in many situations the high speed of the Yaskawa robot enables greater throughput compared to competitive brands. The CSi i-Pal can be delivered with two different Yaskawa robot models: the MPL80 II and the MPL100 II.  These differ in reach, payload, range of motion and speed. 

The configurability of the i-Pal platform is such that a wide range of applications can be generated, produced and installed in an extremely efficient way. This allows CSi to be very competitive on pricing.
