有川製作所 Company Profile

We will be exhibiting at the 34th Japan Manufacturing World held at Tokyo Big Sight. This exhibition aims to contribute to the manufacturing industry in areas such as "short-term development, productivity improvement, quality enhancement, VA/VE, and cost reduction," and is composed of nine exhibitions. If you want to know the best way to manufacture metal parts, reduce the number of processes, or produce small lots through press processing, please feel free to consult us. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

A case of automating the product set and extraction work for our press machine has been featured on Omron's website. Recently, the manufacturing industry has been facing a labor shortage, and in rural areas, there has been an outflow of young engineers, making countermeasures urgent. In response, we introduced two collaborative robots to automate the product set and extraction work for the press machine. By in-house developing the robot system, we trained our internal personnel. As a result, we achieved complete automation of the target tasks, contributing to labor reduction and personnel development. [Key Initiatives] ■ Reduced work time ■ Improved visibility ■ High-precision control

A case study of our collaborative robot "TM Series" has been featured on Omron's website. To address the labor shortage in press processing, it was necessary to achieve "automation of product set and retrieval" and to "develop in-house technical personnel" to realize this. Therefore, by introducing two collaborative robots to share the tasks of supplying and retrieving products, we achieved the specified takt time and realized labor reduction. Furthermore, by internalizing the robot system, we were able to accumulate implementation know-how and develop in-house engineers. Additionally, the introduction of robots has improved employees' awareness of participating in robot utilization. **Three Key Points for Automating Press Operations** - Movable and capable of relocation - Standard camera installation - Easy programming without skills using the dedicated software tool "TMflow"
