Founded in Japan in 1976, with American headquarters established in 1989, IAI designs, manufactures, and markets a complete line of motion control systems. As the established world leader in linear electric actuators and low cost, high performance SCARA robots, we provide over half of all linear actuators sold in Japan and are a leading source of advanced plug & play automation throughout North America and the world.

With the introduction of a full range of ELECYLINDER® series and ROBO Cylinder® series, IAI is also leading the transition away from pneumatics to cost-effective, easy-setup, low-maintenance, and fully-programmable electric cylinders.
