Operating some 1.4 times faster than before, a SCARA robot offers an arc conveyor synchronisation facility, so is able to complete pick and place functions on circular and straight conveyors.
The transfer not only relates to the manufacturing and sales of Cartesian robots, but also to the aftermarket, including maintenance and servicing.
The positive relationship between the existing and newly acquired businesses will add strength to product development and the ability to better respond to customer demands, thereby increasing Toshiba Machine's offering.
"This will benefit our UK customers immensely," commented Nigel Smith, managing director of TM Robotics Europe.
"The exchange of expertise between the companies will result in product development improving further - not to mention greater support and service for our integrators, partners and clients." By concentrating its management resources on areas such as FPD (flat panel display) manufacturing equipment, semiconductor manufacturing equipment and DVD-related applied vacuum technologies, Shibaura Mechatronics Corporation will also strengthen its operational basis.
