"Proximity Sensor TK-01" ■ Unique sensing technology that simultaneously measures distance and posture relative to the target object. ■ Enables recognition of mirror-like and transparent materials. ■ Capable of capturing the shape of objects. ■ Can detect objects that were difficult to recognize with image technology or light sensors. ★ The introduction of robotic hands and automation in applications and fields that have not been utilized until now is expected!! ★ It can accommodate variations in a wide variety of shapes and types, reducing the cumbersome teaching tasks for robots.

★New Technology★ This is an electric gripper equipped with a 3D cam mechanism and a crown reducer, capable of precise operations such as gripping with a holding force of up to 20N and grasping the lead of a 0.5mm mechanical pencil, all within a compact and lightweight body. You can freely set the force, time, and speed variations according to the object being gripped. It can safely grip not only small and slippery cylindrical objects but also fragile glass and easily deformable plastics. ■ Gripping action without grip position command By utilizing the control functions of the Oriental Motor AZ series motors, it is possible to grip objects without a grip position command as long as they are within the opening and closing range of the fingertips. You can change the motor used upon request. ■ Action to measure work size By passing event information at the time of contact and the coordinate information of the electric gripper to a higher-level system, it is possible to measure the workpiece. *For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us.

Our company will become a sub-partner for Techman collaborative robots. Techman collaborative robots come standard with vision cameras and AI functions, significantly lowering the barriers to automation with simple controls. However, for customers who ask, "How can we conduct takt verification and AI model accuracy verification before implementation?" or "We don't have personnel for image collection and model verification for AI inspection," we will provide a wide range of support using our demo machines, from robot teaching to takt verification, capturing images for visual inspection, creating AI models, and model verification. Additionally, if the shape of the sample work provided by the customer cannot be accommodated with a general-purpose gripper, we will design a dedicated gripper using 3D CAD and create it through 3D printing for verification, allowing for takt verification in an environment close to the actual site. Furthermore, for customers who cannot visit exhibitions or manufacturer showrooms, we will conduct product demonstrations by bringing in our demo machines and propose points for automation through factory tours. ▶▶ "Video now available"

Our company is developing a business themed around "small starts," which involves automating part of the production process with collaborative robots. While utilizing robots is a response to labor shortages, the public's perception of robots as "working 24 hours" and "capable of anything" often leads to the desire to have robots perform every task in the workflow. However, automating with this mindset can lead to issues such as: - Enormous costs that do not justify the return on investment, - Lack of installation space. These problems can result in a situation where automation does not progress. It is important to clearly define the purpose of automation as either "labor saving," "quantification," or "reduction of labor," and to start with simple processes. Therefore, we propose our original product, the Techman 360 AI visual inspection system, which allows for affordable automation installation with teaching-less and convenient setup. We aim to achieve "quantification," "quality improvement," and "labor saving" in the inspection process.
