Pioneering new possibilities in
robotics to transform
the future of
manufacturing

Background and intention of new business initiatives

We have developed a jig-less arc welding process that eliminates the need for dedicated jigs in door frame production.
Our jig-less high-precision robotic technologies automate processes once difficult to automate and tasks reliant on operator skill, delivering major productivity improvements.
By delivering solutions optiized for each customer’s work environment, we help tackle the widespread societal challenge of labor shortages.

Background to the development of the new jig-less method

Challenges during the transition from mass production to service parts (small-lot, multi-variety production)
After mass production ends, production frequency and volume drop significantly. Continuing with conventional manufacturing methods leads to the following issues:

  • Capacity of jig storage
  • Labor cost for jig changeovers
  • Labor cost for tool adjustment

To address these production challenges, we developed 'jig-less welding' by questioning the conventional approach of welding using traditional jigs.

Development Equipment Configuration

Jig-less Method

  • High-Precision 3D Measurement

    Achieves high-accuracy scanning across wide coverage areas

  • Digital alignment

    Determining displacement from 3D scan data and CAD geometry

  • High-precision robot positioning

    The laser tracker delivers high-accuracy positioning.

Development of high-precision robots

In order to increase the flexibility of jig-less production lines and to be effective in various robot applications thanks to high versatility, we are working on initiatives that allow robot to achieve high precision even without constantly using a laser tracker.

Factors Contributing to Robot Accuracy Errors

Errors arise in the travel distance with respect to numerical position commands,
leading to an absolute positioning accuracy of ±1.0 mm.

We aim to limit the overall deviation,
including those caused by the factors described above,
to within ±0.1mm.

Inquiries on new business opportunities

Building on expertise cultivated through this method and our
high-precision robotic technologies, we have launched a
service that enables robot-driven automation.
