and powerful and compact Presto MC35, MC50, and MC70

robots for diverse manufacturing applications

NACHI- FUJIKOSHI Corp. has developed five new Presto robots: the seven-axis, flexible motion mid-weight payload MR35 and MR50 robots and the powerful and compact, wide-reach, six-axis MC35, MC50, and MC70 robots. These new models went on sale in July 2009.

Following the debut last year of the light (20 kg) payload MR20 and MC 20, these latest robots extend the Presto line up into the mid-weight (35?0 kg) payload category. Now, in the industrial machinery sector and beyond, using robots you can automate tasks across a wide range including transport, assembly, and machining. All kinds of industrial users are sure to find a place for Presto robots.

(1) Demonstrating strength in industrial crafting

Incorporating control technology, NACHI FUJIKOSHI robots embody seasoned mechanical technology built up in the machining and functional parts business. For welding, transport, machining and other applications in the industrial crafting sector, our robots provide world-class capabilities and own a major share of the global market.
(2) Can be used in diverse situations to meet various needs

Owing to advantages such as work productivity, automation (reduced labor, energy saving), and quality improvement, in the industrial craft sector, demand for robots has been rising. In addition to the mainstay tasks of welding and transport, makers are seeking robots to perform more complex and diverse tasks such as machining, assembly, and palletizing. To respond to these needs, we have been meeting the challenges by developing: i) highly functional units; ii) high-level applications; and iii) crucial components, such as hand and sensor sechnology.
(3) Providing application technology and knowhow accumulated in every process at each plant in our Group

At our own plants, we have been installing our own robots (about 300 units) in facilities that make cutting tools, bearings, hydraulic equipment, special steels, and other products. While these have been driving improvements in both productivity and quality, they have also enabled the accumulation of application technology and knowhow. Similarly, the recently developed Presto models were also initially introduced in our own facilities, where they underwent repeated testing and refinement to the point where they are now capable of excellent performance in diverse applications.
