The "FCS" is a flexible carrier system that can transport workpieces while avoiding equipment, pathways, and human traffic through three-dimensional trajectory design. By stabilizing the posture of the workpiece during transport, it achieves both the suppression of transport troubles and high-speed transportation. Additionally, it realizes energy savings with a simple drive using a single motor. It contributes to space-saving and optimization of transport layouts. 【Features】 ■ Capable of constructing complex transport routes in a compact space ■ High-speed and stable transportation while maintaining posture through chuck transport ■ Setup changes can be completed by adjusting only the chuck part ■ Achieves energy-efficient operation with a single motor drive *For more details, please refer to the materials.

• Other conveying machines

【Customer Requests / Issues】 - Due to the large number of supply parts for the production line, the various entry routes for parts at the parts input section cannot be handled solely by the conveyor. → It was necessary to plan the worker routes and the multiple concentrated parts flow. 【Proposal】 By utilizing the flexible design of the FCS-H300 guide rail, we constructed a space-saving transport path with a gate-type layout. We achieved overhead transport to the work input while ensuring sufficient worker pathways. 【Results After FCS Implementation】 The introduction of the FCS-H300 enabled automation of the production line, which was typically difficult, in a cost-effective and space-saving manner. Maintenance became easier, and running costs were reduced. *For more details about FCS, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

• Other FA equipment

【Customer Requests/Challenges】 - An automatic transport system that crosses over the worker passage is needed because the worker passage intersects in the middle of the production line. - We want to stop manual transport using carts and rolling transport through free fall. We want to reduce setup changes. → The cycle time is very fast, making it impossible to achieve with automatic single-piece transport. In a 3D conveyor, issues such as workpieces falling over occur, and managing production is difficult due to a large flow of work-in-progress that exceeds the line of sight. 【Proposal】 We propose a batch transport method where a chuck unit clamps multiple stacked bearing workpieces together. We will create an integrated transport system that includes one FCS unit assembled in a gantry configuration, along with loading equipment on the upstream side and unloading equipment on the downstream side, to be adopted as a high-level bearing high-speed transport device. 【Results After FCS Implementation】 The effort and time required to design and manufacture a complex three-dimensional transport device in-house were eliminated, significantly reducing the implementation costs. Unlike the 3D conveyor, the issue of work-in-progress remaining overhead was resolved, improving production management. Setup changes were also streamlined. *For more details about FCS, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

【Customer Requests/Challenges】 - While automatic transportation of powder materials mainly uses screw conveyors and vacuum (air) conveyors, we want to transport using bucket-type systems to adjust the transport volume and avoid wear and damage to the powder particles. - To prevent the raw materials from being exposed to external air, we want to equip the system with buckets that have automatically opening and closing lids. - We want to specify the weight of the powder and the transport cycle for transportation. - When switching between different raw materials, we would like it to be easy to change the buckets. 【Results After Implementing FCS】 By introducing the FCS-H300, which can equip the carrier (transport cart) with buckets that have lids, we have successfully met all the above requests. The strictness of the transport cycle and the ease of cleaning have also been noted as positive points. *For more details about FCS, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

【Customer Requests / Issues】 - Workers were transporting workpieces between the grinding process and the assembly process using carts. - An automatic transport device that connects over the passageway is needed to secure a path for workers and carts to cross. - There are concerns that combining several linear transport devices will result in a complicated system. - With a 3D conveyor, work-in-progress items accumulate in the passageway, leading to frequent tasks requiring workers to use ladders. → The introduction of a simple gantry-type FCS enabled high-speed automatic transport of individual items. 【Results After FCS Implementation】 Thanks to the simple transport method of the FCS-H300, a smart transport system without waste was established, resulting in the elimination of bottlenecks and preventing interruptions in the production line flow. Changeovers were minimized, significantly improving productivity. Work-in-progress items were greatly reduced, and production management became stricter. *For more details about FCS, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

【Customer Requests / Issues】 - Currently, the transportation from the exit of the previous process to the entrance of the next process is connected using a combination of an up-and-down lifter and a traditional ribbon chute that utilizes free fall. ■ Issues - Scratches occur on products in the chute section. - Responding to production halts and changing setups takes time. - There are many work-in-progress items, making production management difficult. - Even for automation, the required transportation routes are complex and space is limited, necessitating multiple transfers in vertical, horizontal, and lateral directions. - There is a need to respond to faster cycle times. - Ease of operation, such as reducing setup changes, is required. - Standardization of specifications. - Just-in-time automated transportation and improved traceability are needed. 【Results After FCS Implementation】 By flexibly constructing transportation paths and introducing the FCS-H300, which enables high-speed three-dimensional transportation, we achieved automatic single-item transportation just-in-time, which was not possible before. This led to significant improvements in quality, production management, reduction of setup changes, and efficiency in equipment maintenance, greatly enhancing overall productivity. *For more details about FCS, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

• Other FA equipment

The cause of transport troubles mostly occurs during the transfer of workpieces. How many transfers were needed between processes with conventional transport methods? In FCS, we do not transfer until the destination is reached and the specified posture is discharged, thus eliminating the main cause of short stops. By performing three-dimensional transport with a single drive unit, we can eliminate mistakes in the handover of workpieces. 【System Benefits】 ■ Forced transport ■ Direct airborne transport ■ High-speed transport ■ Space-saving ■ No setup changes required 【Other System Benefits】 ■ Multi-point stop function ■ Capable of mounting multifunctional chucks ■ Easy installation ■ High quality, low price, short delivery time *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The "FCS-H300/V60" is a handling robot that effectively utilizes limited spaces in various factories and warehouses, significantly improving productivity. The chuck equipped on the cart can be fitted with mechanisms for changing the posture of workpieces and pickup mechanisms as needed. Additionally, since there is no need to change the grip on the workpieces during transport, attachment and detachment mechanisms and transfer devices are unnecessary, eliminating the occurrence of mistakes associated with grip changes, which contributes to cost reduction and increased production efficiency. 【Features】 ■ Reduces production line stoppages through forced transport ■ Decreases accumulation of workpieces through direct transport ■ Enables high-speed transport ■ Allows for significant space savings ■ No setup changes required *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
