Hyogo Seimitsu Kogyosho builds its own robot system.

Hyogo Seimitsu Kogyosho (Hyogo Ward, Kobe City) has started to build a robot system to improve productivity within the company. In the past, cast parts weighing several dozen kilograms were manually fed into machine tools and the finished products were taken out. The tip of the robot's arm was developed and manufactured independently, and a light-weight yet high-strength mechanism that can withstand the transportation of heavy objects was adopted. The lathe process can be reduced to about one-third of the conventional process, which will lead to an optimal allocation of human resources in the plant. At the Sasayama Plant, the products to be processed by each machine tool are separated, minimizing the need for setup changes. The company aims to further improve its production efficiency by optimizing the use of robots within the company.
