Strengthening the Development Framework

「In the chuck business, the Company worked on automation and reducing setup requirements, expanded the product series using BR chuck technology, and advanced commercialization of the automatic chuck-changing system (ACC).」

「The Company will take on the challenge of implementing cutting-edge information technologies internally and co-create new manufacturing capabilities by combining them with its existing technological foundation. It will also work to provide greater value by reducing defect rates through AI-based quality information analysis and strengthening its proposal capabilities through design using 3D models.」

「The Company also opened a web showroom on its website and worked to provide the latest product and technical information. In addition, it actively approached system integrators and robot manufacturers to enter new market areas, including the robotics field.」

「In the mechatronics field, the Company completed development of the low-temperature friction welding machine and began sales.」

「Against this backdrop, in this business, the company actively pursued sales activities to address management challenges for future growth, including improving the QCD of robot hands, advancing development, and building a network with system integrators, in order to promote commercialization in the market for peripheral equipment for industrial robots. It also worked to raise market awareness of the new BR Series of standard chucks. In addition, it promoted its products through online trade shows, including participation in JIMTOF2020 Online.」

「Against this backdrop, the business continued revitalizing the Company by addressing management challenges for future growth, including improving the QCD and advancing development of robot hands and building a network with system integrators, in order to promote commercialization in the industrial robot peripheral equipment market. It also conducted active sales activities to raise market awareness of the new BR series of standard chucks.」

「To promote commercialization in the industrial robot peripherals market, we revitalized the company by addressing management challenges for future growth, including improving the QCD of robot hands, advancing their development and building a network with system integrators.」

「The company also exhibited at MECT 2019 and EMO Hannover 2019, an overseas trade show, and pursued initiatives including the launch of new products such as the MK350 NC rotary table and slim two-jaw parallel gripper.」

「The company also unveiled the new MK350 NC rotary table and slim two-jaw parallel gripper at EMO Hannover 2019, an overseas trade show. It plans to exhibit at MECT 2019 in October and will further accelerate its efforts to develop new products.」

「The Company launched the BR series, developed as a high-value-added product based on one of its core products, the power chuck, and began focused sales activities.」

「Against this backdrop, we unveiled the new BR Series power chuck and a thin two-jaw gripper (robot hand) at JIMTOF2018, accelerating our efforts to develop new products.」

「The Company worked to establish a business foundation by focusing on developing new products in each business field.」

「Under these circumstances, we actively pursued new product development and launched a general-purpose gripper (robot hand) as a new product during the period, working to expand into new product fields.」

「Against this backdrop, the Company continued product development based on needs identified through orders for customer-specific products (customized products). It also began launching some new products and worked to expand orders.」

「The Company displayed and announced new products resulting from these initiatives at the 28th Japan International Machine Tool Fair (JIMTOF2016), held last November. It began launching the announced new products in stages and worked to expand orders.」

「Under these circumstances, we established a new product-development structure and worked on product development based on needs identified through orders for customer-specific products (customized products). We exhibited and presented a large number of new products developed through these efforts at the 28th Japan International Machine Tool Fair (JIMTOF2016), held in November. Going forward, we will work to stimulate demand further and expand orders, using the market launch of these new products as a catalyst.」

「We established a new product-development structure and worked on product development based on needs identified through orders for customer-specific products, with the aim of launching the products in the second half of this fiscal year.」

「We established a new product development structure and accelerated product development based on needs identified through orders for customer-specific products.」

「The Group has identified the establishment of a foundation for its overseas business, higher productivity through work-style reform, strengthening its development structure, and promoting human resources development and training as key challenges it faces, and will continue working to strengthen its management foundation.」
