Robot control cell production system of Senju (thousand-handed) Kannon model that demonstrated optimality to the multi-product production in varying volumes for eight years

Abstract

The manufacturing industry has been supported by various kinds of control products. As the product types are becoming more diversified and the period of product demand is becoming shorter, production of control products are shifting from mass production of few product types to multi-product production in varying volume. The shift in manufacturing style is coupled with the fierce global competition of production, and we need to suit ourselves to the new production concept. In this paper, we report on the robot control cell production system which demonstrated the effectiveness of robot production for eight years, which was continuously improved through the years to meet the new trend in the manufacturing industry.
