The "SGE series" is an electric suction hand that eliminates the need for air piping to the compressor by incorporating a built-in vacuum pump. As of September 2023, an adapter has been added to enable the attachment of multiple pads. This allows for more stable workpiece gripping and the ability to grip workpieces that were previously unmanageable.

We distribute various content related to Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and are offering a free document summarizing essential knowledge that you may be hesitant to ask about. We often hear from customers considering automation with AGVs that they are unsure about which one to choose. In the foundational knowledge document we are distributing this time, we provide four examples of purposes for implementing AGVs and recommend suitable transportation methods for each purpose. By clarifying the objectives of automation, it becomes easier to select the AGV that fits your company. Additionally, we include "six points" to check in advance when introducing AGVs. By understanding these elements, you can proceed smoothly with your consideration of AGV implementation. Feel free to download it.

We have added two types of products: the 'KKS manufactured AGV,' which is strong against poor road conditions such as rain, steps, and slopes, and the 'Meiden Electric manufactured AGV,' which is suitable for a wide range of transport from 150kg to 6000kg. There is useful information on automating transportation, so please take a look.

Reservations for the Robot Center TOKYO will resume from Monday, May 8, 2023. In addition to its convenient location just a 2-minute walk from JR Osaki Station, we have prepared exhibits that combine multiple collaborative robots and AGVs to help you envision an actual production site. We sincerely look forward to your visit. Please note that our facility will continue to operate on a "reservation-only" basis.
