1.Purpose of commercialization

 In recent years, components such as car bodies, die-cast parts, and battery cases are becoming larger and heavier in the automotive industry, while the need to transport cells in bulk is growing in the battery manufacturing process.

 Furthermore, the demand for transporting large workpieces is expanding in areas such as construction machinery, building materials, and processing jigs.

 Against this background, robots are required to have a wider range of motion and a higher tolerance for wrist load than ever before.

 To meet these demands, we have developed a new model with an expanded range of motion and wrist tolerance, offering significantly superior performance compared to previous models.

 These products expand our lineup of robots suitable for handling heavy objects, while also improving the flexibility of equipment design and layout, contributing to further automation and increased production efficiency.
