[Video Now Available!] NEXTAGE Case Study "Labeling"

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.

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!

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.

Arm controller base packaged. Vision recognition system also standard-equipped for quick setup ★ Model change for power-up.

"NEXTAGE" is a dual-arm robot that moves skillfully with its two arms and is capable of handling a wide range of tasks. In addition to being packaged with two arms, a controller, a base, and a vision recognition system, it can be set up quickly without the need for safety fences, allowing for rapid deployment. Moreover, it comes standard with a vision recognition system, eliminating the need for positioning devices. Even when automating multiple tasks or engaging in mixed production, the need for additional jigs or modifications to existing equipment can be minimized. ★ We are currently offering a detailed document titled "Why That Company Adopted NEXTAGE," which introduces the features of NEXTAGE and testimonials from companies that have implemented it. ★ In 2018, it underwent a model change, improving power and speed! 【Features】 ■ Contributes to on-site improvements and stability in quality and delivery through the automation of simple tasks. ■ Its humanoid design allows for installation in the space of one person, and it does not require safety fences. ■ Equipped with casters, making it easy to move even for women, and it can flexibly adapt to layout changes. * You can view the explanatory materials and various brochures from the "PDF Download" section.

Hello everyone! We are Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd., a specialized manufacturer of contract processing for fluororesin coatings and PEEK coatings. Thank you very much for visiting our booth at the recent "Mechanical Elements Technology Exhibition." Thanks to you, we were able to conclude the event successfully. At the exhibition, we proposed surface treatment solutions for the "five challenges (release, sliding, corrosion resistance, impurity measures, and environmental response)" that arise in manufacturing sites. Were there any technologies that caught your interest? ■ We are currently responding to inquiries made at the venue We are sequentially contacting those who made technical inquiries or requests for prototypes at our booth on the day of the event. If you have requests such as "I would like you to look at additional drawings" or "I need a quote urgently," please feel free to let us know. ■ For those who could not attend the exhibition or missed our booth We also welcome inquiries from customers who could not come to the venue, such as "coating for special shapes that other companies have declined" or "switching from existing coatings." If you have any concerns regarding "surfaces," please feel free to consult or contact us.

The particle visualization technology developed under our brand "ViEST" has a very high level of detection sensitivity that allows for real-time visualization of the suspended and adhered states of micro and nano-sized particles. We are engaged in the sale of visualization systems and contract services for evaluation (investigating particles and airflow in production processes, manufacturing equipment, and factory environments, evaluating the performance of cleaning products, proposing yield improvement measures, etc.) both domestically and internationally. In manufacturing environments, invisible fine foreign substances, dust generation, particle adhesion due to static electricity, and airflow disturbances can lead to quality defects and reduced yield. Our company clarifies these contamination factors through visualization technology and provides consistent support from identifying the source of the problem to considering and confirming improvement measures. Do you have any of the following concerns? - Unable to identify the cause of foreign matter contamination - Want to check airflow and cleanliness in clean rooms - Want to understand dust generation from manufacturing equipment and transport systems - Want to reduce particle adhesion to films and substrates - Want to improve contamination that causes yield reduction

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even 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 or download the catalog.
