Core technologies for winding, tensioning and conveying

「The company pursues a business model that enhances users' competitiveness in global markets by providing production systems that incorporate winding, handling, assembly, inspection and other processes into transport systems, with its proprietary operating system enabling high-performance synchronized multi-axis control.」

「We are continuing to build a business model that integrates mechanical elemental technologies such as winding, tension control and handling with a proprietary OS enabling high-function multiaxis synchronous control through a conveying system and turns them into a platform, thereby providing production systems that enable users to compete successfully in global markets.」

「We are continuing to build a business model that integrates the mechanical elemental technologies we have explored and advanced over many years, including winding, tension control and handling, with a proprietary OS enabling high-function multiaxis synchronous control through a conveying system and turns them into a platform, thereby providing production systems that enable users to compete successfully in global markets.」

「The company has developed multiple platforms that form the foundation for building complete precision FA lines equipped with state-of-the-art transport technology. These platforms incorporate the company's proprietary operating system, developed to enable synchronized multi-axis control, into production systems centered on advanced winding, tension and handling technologies.」

「Meeting these needs requires physics and chemistry expertise and research extending to the materials and components of the products being manufactured. In addition to these core technologies, it requires integration expertise across a wide range of fields, including electronics such as controls and software related to process development.」

「During the fiscal year, R&D in production equipment focused on future automation, including the development of an automatic transport system using contactless power transfer to reduce labor requirements, and on supporting variable-volume, variable-mix production. From the product perspective, the company continued developing EV motors and integrated FA line systems for their production.」

「As a result, the development of advanced devices has increasingly become integrated with innovation in analog production technologies, and innovative approaches originating in production-equipment development have often generated solutions combining analog and digital technologies, known as “Anadigi.”」

「The total precision FA lines advocated by the group pursue a one-of-a-kind position through a strategy of deepening core technologies such as winding, control and handling, expanding them into adjacent areas, and providing total-line solutions.」

「The company believes that the key vertical dimension is not modular architecture, or combination-based technology, but advanced production engineering based on integral architecture, or coordination-based technology. It is advancing challenges and R&D to acquire seamless technologies that enable it to develop and provide lines in which the various technologies, controls, handling, processing and inspection used in production processes are closely coordinated.」

「The group’s core business is the development and manufacture of FA lines incorporating production technologies such as winding, tensioning, and its proprietary transport and handling technologies, for the production of coils, motors and modules incorporating them as core components, which are essential to many of the aforementioned end products.」

「For medium- to long-term development, the company is developing technologies for production equipment that improve customers’ production efficiency through automation and enable them to respond to smart factories through labor saving. For the products being manufactured, it has also advanced production technologies tailored to customer needs, including higher performance, miniaturization, finer-scale production and higher quality.」

「Most of the group’s core products are precision FA lines designed to create the quality of the products and components they produce. To develop its equipment, the group must acquire knowledge not only of the characteristics of the products being manufactured but also of the materials used in production, effectively acting on behalf of customers in production engineering.」

「The group has developed core and elemental technologies and leveraged its expertise to pursue greater precision, sophistication, miniaturization and finer-scale production of coils and motors, as well as systemization, line development and the development of FA tags. Through this evolution, it has become a manufacturer providing dedicated winding FA lines on an integrated basis. In addition, it develops and provides FA lines for wire, cable, connectors, film and other products using technologies for tensioning, joining, coating and control.」

「By deepening and expanding its core and elemental technologies based on winding, the company has established a global niche-leading position in precision FA equipment.」

「The group currently focuses its R&D activities primarily on elemental technologies based on winding, tensioning and transport.」
