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.

The international safety standard for industrial robots, ISO 10218-1/-2:2025, will be revised in February 2025, with specific safety requirements for end effectors added. Safety standards for collaborative work will also apply to end effectors, requiring the design of safety control functions. In recent years, the introduction of collaborative robots that do not require safety fences has been progressing, but one method to ensure safety around the robot is to install safety laser scanners. In the case of conventional safety laser scanners, challenges arise such as "the robot stops when entering a danger area, reducing productivity" and "the safety area expands during high-speed robot operation," which has created barriers to labor-saving technologies. Therefore, by installing the "SICK scanGrid2" on the end effector of your currently used collaborative robot, it is possible to reduce the robot's deceleration and stop time while implementing safety measures, thereby improving productivity! We can also provide a dedicated mounting bracket for the "SICK scanGrid2" tailored to the model of robot you are using, so please consider it!

We introduce a flexible manipulator that combines the "Techman collaborative robot" with the AMR manufacturer YOUIBOT's built-in vision robot. 1. Operable from a single unit With a simple specification that allows you to call the AMR from a dedicated terminal, you can start small with just one AMR. If you later wish to control multiple units, it can be accommodated by adding server software. 2. Reduction of material handling errors Thanks to the TM landmark feature of Techman, automatic origin position correction is possible, allowing for automatic correction of errors in the AMR's arrival position. 3. Cleanroom compatibility For the semiconductor industry, we provide robots and AMRs that are compatible with cleanroom environments. ★ I want to start small with the AMR while keeping initial investment low! ★ I want to utilize the AMR I am using even during on-site operations or layout changes! Please feel free to consult with 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"

In the food industry, measures to prevent foreign object contamination are the top priority to protect consumer safety. Contamination during the manufacturing process can not only undermine a company's trust but also pose health risks. To reduce the risk of foreign object contamination and stabilize product quality, strengthening the inspection process is essential. The Techman AI visual inspection system utilizes AI to detect fine foreign objects and abnormalities that are often missed in traditional visual inspections, thereby enhancing food safety. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Foreign object contamination inspection on food manufacturing lines - Product inspection before packaging - Incoming inspection of raw materials 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Reduction of foreign object contamination risks - Improvement in quality control - Enhancement of work efficiency

In the pharmaceutical industry, accurate verification of labels is essential to ensure product quality and safety. Incorrect label displays can have serious implications for patient health. Additionally, amidst a labor shortage, visual inspections have limitations, and there are challenges regarding the accuracy and efficiency of inspections. The Techman AI visual inspection system utilizes AI to detect printing errors and foreign matter with high precision, contributing to the improvement of pharmaceutical quality. 【Application Scenarios】 - Pharmaceutical manufacturing lines - Packaging processes - Inspection processes 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Improved accuracy of label verification - Labor-saving in inspection processes - Prevention of defective product leakage - Strengthened quality control

In the plastic molding industry, maintaining product quality and improving yield are important challenges. Molding defects not only lead to a decline in product performance and customer complaints but also cause material waste and decreased productivity. The introduction of automatic inspection robots can solve these problems and enable a stable supply of quality products. Our AI visual inspection system achieves "quantification," "quality improvement," and "labor saving" in the inspection process of plastic molded products. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Inspection of defects in the shape of plastic molded products, burrs, scratches, and foreign matter contamination - Complete inspection of products after molding - Reducing the burden of visual inspection on inspectors 【Effects of Implementation】 - Reduction of rework man-hours through early detection of defective products - Stabilization of quality through improved inspection accuracy - Increased productivity through reduced inspection time

"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.
