Hybrid of metal and carbon for robotics

Enhancing the responsiveness of robots through the fusion of metal and carbon.

In the field of robotics, precise movements and rapid responsiveness are required. In particular, for movable parts such as robotic arms and actuators, components that are lightweight yet possess high rigidity and can quickly respond to external inputs are essential. Traditional metal parts can pose challenges due to their weight, and carbon materials alone may raise concerns regarding the processing and strength of connection points. Our hybrid material, which combines metal and carbon, achieves a balance between the machinability and ease of connection of metal and the lightweight and high rigidity of carbon, contributing to improved responsiveness in robots. 【Application Scenarios】 - Lightweight and high rigidity of robotic arms - Improved responsiveness of actuator components - Application to movable parts of precision instruments 【Effects of Implementation】 - Increased speed of robot movements - Reduced energy consumption - Realization of more complex movements

basic information

【Features】 - Hybrid structure with carbon fiber wrapped around a metal core - Bend and twist characteristics can be adjusted based on the wrapping of the carbon fiber - Achieves weight reduction compared to pure metal - Superior workability and connectivity compared to pure carbon - Compatible with various metals such as aluminum, SUS, iron, and copper 【Our Strengths】 Since our establishment in 1955, we have developed a wide range of products, including fishing rods and apparel, based on the precision processing technology cultivated as a fishing hook manufacturer. Leveraging the know-how gained from fishing tackle manufacturing, we continue to take on new challenges in fields such as metal processing and CFRP pipe manufacturing to meet our customers' diverse needs.

Our company was established in 1955 as a fishing hook manufacturer in Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture. Since then, our product range has continued to expand, and we now handle a variety of products, including fishing hooks, fishing rods, and even apparel. Additionally, we have newly established a KR Business Division to develop and manufacture care equipment. We are committed to addressing social issues such as the increasing demand for care due to an aging society and the chronic shortage of personnel.
