Introducing the labor-saving solution by combining the FANUC collaborative robot and the TAKAMAZ lathe that was showcased at the 2022 private show of Takamatsu Machinery (Thailand).
The labor-saving solution that combines the FANUC collaborative robot, which can be said to be the centerpiece of this exhibition. One of our strengths is that our products are born in Japan and made in Japan. FANUC is a world-class robot manufacturer representing Japan, and our products are well matched with each other in the following respects, which made this collaborative solution possible.
・Made in Japan
・quality
・Brand power
In this demonstration equipment, TAKAMAZ CNC lathe "GSL-10H" and FANUC collaborative robot CRX series (CRX-10iA) are combined. The solution of using a robot to attach and detach workpieces machined with a lathe is already a common practice in Japan, but in Thailand, there are still many workplaces that rely on manual labor, and this is an area where increased use of this equipment can be expected in the future for the purpose of saving labor on production lines.
<The advantages of the solution by FANUC collaborative robot + TAKAMAZ lathe>・Labor saving and error reduction
Eliminating the need for human hands leads to a reduction in labor costs and work errors.
・High safety feature (automatic stop function)
Normally, safety fences are built around a high-speed robot solution, but the built-in function that automatically stops the robot when a person touches the equipment eliminates the need for such fences.
・High versatility with a trestle for robot
The trestle allows the robot to be easily moved by hand, making it possible to support a variety of machining machines with a single unit.
In addition, by intentionally docking the low-priced GSL-10HGSL for Southeast Asia with this demonstration equipment, we have realized an automated solution that can be carried out from installation to delivery within Thailand.
