A stage that does not move from the position locked by the patented locking mechanism. It allows for long-stroke positioning.

The "T-slot stage" allows for a wide variety of combinations, and now the 'SLX series' has been added, featuring a long stroke and no need for a stopper. Equipped with a patented self-locking mechanism that stops the stage after position adjustment, there is no concern about micro-movements or positional shifts due to manual stoppers or clamp operations. It is ideal for applications that require high positioning accuracy for processing and inspection, as well as for applications where secure fixation is needed for extended periods after position adjustment. 【Features】 ■ Stage movement can be done using a hex wrench or hex screwdriver you have on hand ■ Slim design ■ Installation possible in directions other than horizontal ■ Available in both single-axis and dual-axis types ■ New products for the T-slot stage are continuously being released! *For the series lineup, please refer to the <Detailed Information> below. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

By equipping X-ray inspection devices and multi-joint robots, they become the brains of machines. We are also presenting examples of "AI-equipped robots" as appearance inspection devices!

"AI Hayabusa" is an "artificial intelligence image inspection system" that overcomes the weaknesses of traditional image inspection tools, which have struggled with the applicability of pattern matching. The appearance inspection robot "AI Robot," equipped with "AI Hayabusa," leverages the features of artificial intelligence and image processing to inspect various surface defects such as scratches, dents, foreign objects, fluff, and color unevenness that appear on inspection targets with curved or mirror-like surfaces. 【Features】 ■ Inspection using artificial intelligence + image processing ■ Supports online, offline, and embedded device applications ■ Image processing systems for flat measurement, blob analysis/morphology, character recognition/verification, matching, and machine vision (shape identification) ■ Functions such as 3D shape measurement, automatic classification, and barcode reading ■ Achieves many benefits, including a reduction in personnel to the level of skilled workers * A collection of case studies and product materials introducing examples of defect judgment is currently available.

Automating visual inspections. An AI-equipped robot that can quickly and accurately determine food spoilage and container defects.

The "AI Robot" is an appearance inspection robot equipped with the automatic inspection system "AI Hayabusa," which features artificial intelligence and image processing. The multi-joint robot positions the camera head according to the workpiece, capturing fine defects with its optical system, while AI Hayabusa performs defect extraction and image analysis. In addition to detecting issues such as foreign matter contamination in processed products and chipping or cracking of packaging, it can also handle grade selection of food based on scratches and color, as well as quality assessment of cosmetic containers. It enables the automation of appearance inspection and enhances traceability. 【Features】 ■ Can be integrated into existing lines such as conveyor lines and visual inspection lines ■ Exhibits high inspection accuracy and image analysis capability ■ Quickly and accurately determines OK/NG status ■ Detects defects in filled containers such as processed foods and cosmetics *We are currently offering a collection of case studies and product materials that introduce examples of foreign matter and defect judgment in food factories.

We are pleased to announce that Gywood has been recommended as a featured building material in the special project "Recommended Building Materials" at the Housing Business Fair within the comprehensive exhibition for housing, architecture, and real estate [BREX Kansai]. We will be exhibiting in the "Recommended Building Materials and Equipment" zone, where professionals from the field gather to showcase their recommended materials. We invite everyone to stop by and visit us.

Seminar Overview As the labor shortage in manufacturing sites becomes more severe, the labor costs and time losses associated with the "transportation" of products and components, as well as "cleaning" within factories, have become critical management issues that cannot be overlooked. In this webinar, we will introduce the latest use cases of "Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)" and "Commercial Cleaning Robots" that achieve productivity improvements in manufacturing environments. We will specifically address questions such as "How are other companies operating these technologies?" and "What kind of cost reduction effects can be expected after implementation?" by providing concrete explanations of actual before-and-after scenarios and operational flows. Factory managers and members of production technology and DX promotion departments who want to advance automation and efficiency on-site are encouraged to participate! Recommended for: - Those who are unsure about where to start with automation, labor reduction, and DX in their factories. - Those who want to alleviate labor shortages on-site and focus resources on core operations to improve productivity. - Those who want to stay updated on the latest trends in the use of transportation robots (AMR) and cleaning robots.
