Can't Ask Now! Learn from the Basics: FA Version Drive Recorder - Understanding the causes of chocolate stops - Saving footage for traceability purposes - Monitoring human flow In recent years, the introduction of cameras has advanced in the FA (Factory Automation) and logistics industries. However, the number of cameras available on the market is so vast compared to PLCs and HMIs that selecting the right one for the intended purpose is challenging. This catalog focuses on cameras equipped with drive recorder functions and introduces appropriate selection methods and recommended products. ----- What is an FA Version Drive Recorder? Unlike a regular drive recorder that detects shocks and saves footage before and after the event, an FA version drive recorder saves footage based on input trigger signals. By setting the trigger signal as an error signal, it retains footage before and after the error. Since it can save footage before the error occurs, it helps in understanding the causes of errors. Additionally, by only retaining footage of the desired segments, it eliminates the hassle of searching for specific footage, unlike regular video cameras. We guide you to the correct camera selection through comparisons of products beyond manufacturer boundaries!

The cloud recording camera 'Safie' effectively addresses human errors such as "wrong items" and "label mistakes" in the packaging process. By continuously recording and saving footage of the work in progress, it allows for easy verification later of situations like "What was put in that box?" and "Who performed the work?" It can be utilized not only to enhance traceability but also to improve work quality and training. Since the recordings are stored in the cloud, they can be quickly accessed from a PC or smartphone, enabling situational awareness without needing to be on-site. It has been widely adopted in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and parts manufacturing, where packaging mistakes can have significant consequences. This is an ideal video recording solution for companies that feel "paper records are insufficient."

Our company handles a variety of products from diverse manufacturers, including collaborative robots from Universal Robots (UR), AGVs, and peripheral devices. Currently, we are offering a booklet that introduces our products, case studies, and the services we provide. It contains useful information for both those who are introducing robots for the first time and those who have already implemented them. 【Services (Excerpt)】 We have established a Robot Center in two locations, Osaka and Tokyo, where we showcase collaborative robots and AGVs. You can experience the benefits of implementation through actual machine demonstrations. 【Case Studies (Excerpt)】 ■ Screw tightening in intermediate processes ■ Bagging process for finished products ■ Transporting workpieces and parts boxes to the device ■ Workpiece loading and unloading processes ■ Alignment and arrangement tasks in confined spaces *For more details on the case studies, please refer to the materials available for download.

**Features** ■ High Versatility - By controlling the pressure within the fingers to perform opening and closing actions, it can transport easily deformable workpieces. - By changing the direction of the finger's movement to match the workpiece, it can grasp various shapes such as round and square outer and inner diameters. ■ Slim Finger With its elongated shape, it can accommodate pick-and-place operations for workpieces that are close together. ■ Excellent Environmental Resistance Achieved a dustproof and waterproof protection rating of IP68. The hand unit can be cleaned without disassembly, allowing for hygienic use. ■ Selectable Lineup "High Hygiene Model" compliant with food standards - The materials of the parts that make up the main body comply with FDA standards. - The product design eliminates gaps and grooves, making it difficult for dirt and moisture to accumulate. (Compliant with EHEDG) "Adhesive Pad Type" with enhanced holding stability - Comes with a bellows pad manufactured by the same company.
