Promoting industrial robots in Thailand and Southeast Asia with the synergy of JANOME's high-precision technology and THAI HIBEX's local engineering support
03/06/2021
Shusaku IbaGeneral Manager
THAI HIBEX is a trading company that supplies equipment, tools and materials for PCB (printed circuit board), SMT (surface mount), and assembly processes to the electric & electronics, automotive, and semiconductor sectors in Thailand. We would like to introduce JANOME Desktop Robots, which have won a particularly high rating since entering the industrial robot market in Southeast Asia about 20 years ago.
▲Desktop Robots JR3000 Series
Demand for Desktop Robots is growing in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
In mass production, the mainstream is "line production," where the production volume can be easily controlled and the same product can be mass-produced at low cost.
However, recently as customer needs have diversified and demand for high-mix low-volume manufacturing has increased, "cell production," in which a small number of operators are in charge of multiple processes, has also increased. As a result, the demand for desktop robots that can easily update production lines and applications in a space-saving manner is increasing. Desktop robots, which are easy to install, operate and maintenance, are also suitable for labor-intensive production sites such as those in Thailand.
There is a wide variety of industrial robots, including articulated and cooperative robots. Each has its own strengths and roles, and by combining them, further improvements in productivity can be expected.
Janome Desktop Robots Utilizes High-Precision Position Control Technology of Sewing Machine
The history of Janome's industrial equipment business began with the in-house production of sewing machine parts. In 1984, the world's first small Servo Presses was launched and began manufacturing industrial equipment in earnest.After which in 1993, the first model of the desktop robots was released, incorporating the high-precision position control technology used in the embroidery function of sewing machines. As a result of continuous development and evolution since then, Janome desktop robots, along with small servo presses, have been recognized in the market and adopted in wide range of fields as long-established industrial equipment manufacturer.
The desktop robots produced by Janome, which has been manufacturing sewing machines for about 100 years, have the following features
■By interactive operation, easy teaching with dedicated software
■High versatility for a wide range of applications, such as dispensing, screw tightening, soldering, depaneling, and inspection. Also suitable for EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Service ).
■Compatible with system such as IoT and MES (Manufacturing Execution System).
■Can be Integrated into automation lines and with Articulated and Collaborative Robots
