Collaborative robot

Bringing Factory Automation to more factories! Matsuura Machinery will expand its collaborative robot business.

Factory automation aims to automate various tasks and improve operational efficiency. However, there have been several constraints in traditional FA. One of the major constraints is the issue of "space." For robots, which are the core of FA, to operate without causing harm to humans, a certain amount of space is required, and it is necessary to enclose that space with barriers to prevent people from entering. This problem is resolved with the advent of collaborative robots that work alongside humans. Collaborative robots are equipped with high-function sensors that ensure they do not harm humans even in the event of contact. Various measures have been implemented to allow safe operation even when people enter the work area, such as emergency stops, operating at low speeds in preparation for contact, and being covered with soft materials. The initiative for collaborative robots is still in its early stages within the industry, but Matsuura Machinery is actively engaged in this area and will contribute to further operational efficiency in factories in Japan and around the world. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*
