The THK electric actuator Compact Series KR-RL is an LM guide actuator that uses left and right screws in the KR model. By using a single motor to perform the symmetrical "open" and "close" actions, it enables a wide range of applications such as gripping, measuring, and positioning. Additionally, its four-directional load structure allows for use in any orientation. Furthermore, modularization has significantly reduced the number of components in the product, leading to shorter lead times for equipment completion through reductions in procurement, delivery management, design, and assembly labor. As a result, it is adopted in various devices, including robot arm end effectors, screw tightening machines, cutting devices, and dispensers.

The THK electric actuator Compact Series KSF (which uses a large-diameter ball screw) is an LM guide actuator based on the KR model. By increasing the diameter of the ball screw, it achieves a long stroke of up to 1500mm while maintaining the same size as conventional products, allowing for a maximum speed of 2500mm/s and a maximum acceleration/deceleration of 4G, resulting in a productivity increase of about 40% due to reduced cycle times. Additionally, with a long lifespan of 20,000km, it improves operational rates and reduces the need for spare parts inventory. Due to its high speed and long stroke features, it has been adopted for the automation of workpiece packing operations that were previously performed by workers, leading to reduced labor costs and shorter packing cycle times.

When it comes to business continuity, many people may think that it requires a significant effort. However, there are ways to start business continuity with small steps. One such step is the introduction of seismic isolation tables to protect a company's valuable "assets" from earthquake disasters. It is often said that "business continuity requires establishing a large-scale plan and building a management system." However, implementing a complete solution all at once is difficult and can incur high costs. What is important is to start with specific actions. Introducing seismic isolation tables is one way to protect a company's valuable "assets" from earthquake disasters. In terms of business continuity, it is essential to prepare to secure the necessary "people," "things," "money," and "information" for the prompt recovery of a company's core business. The essential "things" and "information" devices cannot be adequately protected by merely securing them. Seismic isolation tables, which can be easily installed at a reasonable cost and effectively protect a company's "assets" from earthquakes, can be an effective means of ensuring business continuity.
