Notice of the seminar on "6th Robodex" to be held on January 21.

A document that includes links to instructional videos for picking, inspection, assembly, screw tightening, and packing.

"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. [Contents (excerpt)] - Picking in logistics warehouses - Automation of visual inspection tasks - Screw tightening - Labeling - Box packing - Automated driving integrated with AGV - Packaging box assembly and packing (new applications using NEXTAGE) *You can view detailed information immediately by downloading the PDF. Please feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

The reason that company adopted NEXTAGE! ～～A handbook that engineers tackling production automation missions should read～

The introduction of the humanoid dual-arm robot "NEXTAGE" began in the assembly processes of automotive parts and electronic/electrical machinery, but in recent years it has expanded to include packaging of daily necessities and cosmetics, as well as testing processes for reagents. Currently, it has been adopted by over 100 companies in Japan. As such, "NEXTAGE" has been implemented by companies in various industries, but there is a common point among many of these companies, regardless of their industry. That is, they planned to "automate multiple tasks" and "replace human labor" through the introduction of NEXTAGE.

We present a demo video of the humanoid robot "NEXTAGE" packaging tube products into bags and boxes.

In industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products, the quantity and shape are frequently changed with each season, necessitating variable production. Before the introduction of 'NEXTAGE', automation was considered difficult. We will introduce a new form of automation achieved by adding a few clever modifications to the surrounding supply and discharge devices, in addition to the inherent dexterity of the humanoid robot 'NEXTAGE', through a video. ■ Work Process Align tube products stacked flat on a conveyor Load tube products into pouches Heat seal the pouches and pack the finished products into boxes For more details, please check the video below or feel free to contact us.
