                    Hokuriku Electric Power's "Assist Arm" robot for power distribution work

                    Hokuriku Electric Power Company has completed the development of the "Assist Arm" (photo), a robot for power distribution work, and has begun deploying it. The robot will assist in the construction work, which used to be done by two people in a high-altitude work truck, enabling the work to be done by one person. This is the first time such a robot has been used in Japan. The company plans to adopt 10 more robots, including those of group companies, by the end of fiscal year 2019. The robots will be used for the most frequent part of the power distribution work, the wire separator work. In the past, high-voltage wires were cut and the cut wires were connected to each other with a temporary equipment called a wire separator by lifting a stick-shaped tool weighing about 10 kilograms. The robot will be able to cut wires and grab objects with an arm that can move in six axes with a single control grip, saving labor.

                      Kohyei Setsubi Kogyo (Yamagata City) is developing a business using a piping exploration robot. Within this year, the company will start a rental business of the robot in the three northern prefectures of Yamagata, Miyagi, and Fukushima. The target customers are facility construction companies, and the company aims to cultivate new projects for renovation and reconstruction of buildings by offering diagnosis services in the pipes. The rental business of the piping exploration robot is targeted at companies engaged in facility construction in the three southeastern prefectures. Each of them will recruit one or two distributors, including their group companies, by the end of this year. Each distributor will be assigned a cooperating agency to provide services such as pipe diagnosis using the robot. The company expects to expand its business to the eastern Japan area in the future.
