Kurabo solutions demand for superior automation
Pushed by growing inquiries from analysis establishments and producers for superior automation, Kurabo sought to boost its laboratory and manufacturing unit automation capabilities. Based in 1888 in Okayama, Japan, the firm started as a textile producer and has since advanced right into a diversified conglomerate with pursuits in chemical merchandise, meals companies, and electronics.
Since then, Kurabo Group has expanded globally with a presence in six international locations together with Brazil, Thailand, and Indonesia. Right this moment, it’s a chief in high-speed picture processing and 3D measurement expertise. Kurabo employs 3,899 individuals on a consolidated foundation.
Kurabo’s Superior Expertise Division provides manufacturing unit automation, inspection, and measurement units. With its experience in shade and picture processing, the corporate developed the KURASENSE 3D imaginative and prescient system to automate processes which can be troublesome to attain with typical automation.
After an intensive analysis and testing part, Kurabo discovered Flexiv’s Rizon sequence of seven-axis robots proved to be a match for its KURASENSE system. The businesses stated the partnership demonstrates their dedication to innovation.
Flexiv offers integration platform
Based in 2016, Flexiv described itself as a “general-purpose robotics firm devoted to growing and manufacturing adaptive robots.” The firm claimed that it has built-in industrial-grade drive management, pc imaginative and prescient, and synthetic intelligence to ship techniques that improve effectivity whereas decreasing operational prices and environmental impression.
The Rizon sequence has a payload capability of as much as 10 kg (22 lb.) and drive sensors enabling precision measurements right down to 0.03 newtons. Flexiv stated it has designed the robots for purposes requiring precision, flexibility, and seamless human-robot collaboration.
The firm asserted that the mixing of its Rizon platform with Kurabo’s KURASENSE expertise, which features as each the “eyes” and “mind” of the system, will assist Japanese corporations that require excessive accuracy, adaptability, and value effectivity. The KURAVIZON robotic might be accessible beginning Jan. 10, 2025.
Flexiv has established places of work in Silicon Valley, Shanghai, Beijing, Taiwan, and Singapore. It additionally stated its strategic partnership with Kurabo will assist it “change into a very worldwide model.”
