New Year's Greetings (Kawada Robotics)

A case study on the use of NEXTAGE for the full automation of the maintenance parts warehouse! We will share real feedback from our users.

The humanoid robot "NEXTAGE" has been introduced in various manufacturing sites since its launch, expanding its areas of activity. This time, we visited the site of Makino Technical Service Co., Ltd., which has implemented NEXTAGE and built a picking system using robots. We will share the sight of NEXTAGE at work and the voices of those who have constructed this process and are working alongside NEXTAGE!

"NEXTAGE" is a dual-arm robot developed under the concept of "a humanoid robot that works alongside people," aimed at ensuring safety in manufacturing environments and improving productivity. Since its launch, it has been adopted by companies across a wide range of industries, including electronics, electronic components, and more, successfully automating tasks that previously required human labor, such as assembly, inspection, and packaging. We have received numerous inquiries such as, "What specific tasks can it perform?" and "I would like to know some examples." To help you understand the implementation and work image, we have prepared a "case study collection" that summarizes the tasks that this product excels at and links to videos of implementation examples.

A highly versatile robot that works while recognizing the surrounding environment and the task at hand!

"NEXTAGE" was developed under the concept of "humanoid robots that work alongside people," aimed at ensuring safety in manufacturing environments and improving productivity. It possesses safety features equivalent to collaborative robots and utilizes its high versatility to recognize surrounding environments and tasks, enabling automation of labor-intensive processes such as assembly, inspection, and packaging across a wide range of industries, including electrical and electronic components. It frees operators from simple repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on process management and improvement activities. 【Features】 ■ Since its launch, it has been adopted by leading companies in various industries. ■ In 2018, it underwent a model change that improved payload and speed. ■ NEXTAGE solves processes that were difficult to automate with dedicated machines or single-arm robots. ■ It uses a vision system in the head and two arms to perform tasks currently done by hand with minimal environmental changes, among other capabilities. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
