Introduction of Factories
CNC Factory (Headquarters/Mibu)
The monthly production capacity of CNCs for Factory Automation and Robots is 23,000 in FANUC Headquarters, and 16,000 in Mibu.
FANUC Robots are used abundantly for complex assembly tasks which only humans could perform in the past.

SERVO MOTOR Factory (Headquarters/Mibu)
The factory in FANUC Headquarters has a capacity to produce 120,000 Servo Motors per month, while the Mibu factory can produce up to 100,000 Servo Motors per month.
The latest robotized factories integrating FANUC’s technologies boast a high level of automation in retrieving parts, assembling, testing, and packaging, leading to efficient production.

SERVO AMPLIFIER Factory (Headquarters/Mibu)
The monthly production capacity of Servo Amplifiers is 72,000 in FANUC Headquarters and 38,000 in Mibu.
All processes are automated with FANUC Robots, from the mounting of printed circuit boards, cooled fins and cooling fans to enclosures, up to testing.

LASER Factory (Mibu)
The Laser Factory has a capacity to produce 80 CO2 lasers per month.
In manufacturing, the high quality of lasers are ensured by such means as automatic test systems which use FANUC CNCs.

ROBOT Factory (Headquarters/Tsukuba)
The Robot Factory in Headquarters has a capacity to produce 7,400 units per month, while the Tsukuba Factory can produce 8,000 units per month.
Assembled robots are transported automatically to the test area where they are tested automatically through continuous operation, and inspected before being shipped.

ROBODRILL Factory (Tsukuba)
The Tsukuba Robodrill Factory has a capacity to produce 2,500 Robodrills and 1,500 DDRs (1 axis rotary table) per month. (DDRs are manufactured at Headquarters.)
Units such as tool changers are assembled automatically by robots.
Many collaborative robots are actively used to assemble spindles alongside human workers.

ROBOSHOT Factory (Headquarters)
Production of 600 Roboshots per month is possible.
Heavy parts are assembled jointly by workers and collaborative robots.
After the assembly of a Roboshot is completed, the setting parameters are downloaded from the factory server, and tests are performed. The results of the tests are then uploaded to the server.

ROBOCUT Factory (Headquarters)
Production of 150 Robocuts per month is possible.
Heavy parts are assembled jointly by workers and collaborative robots.
Progress of assembly and testing are monitored in real-time, and instructions for the tasks to be performed are provided appropriately.

Machining Factory (Headquarters/Tsukuba)
Parts for Robots, Robodrills, Roboshots, Robocuts and Laser oscillators are machined in these factories. With the installation of FANUC Robot cells, unmanned operation is possible for long hours, including nights and weekends.
The operating status of machine tools and robots are monitored to improve the operating rate, and changes in accuracy are also detected, resulting in the decrease of defects in machining. Furthermore, to maintain a consistent factory environment, the mist amount, humidity and illuminance are visualized.

SERVO MOTOR Parts Machining Factory (Headquarters/Mibu)
Parts for Motors are manufactured with CNC lathes. The workpieces are supplied to machining cells by an automated warehouse, then loaded and unloaded by Robots automatically.
Press Factory (Headquarters/Mibu)
Pressed parts for Motors are produced here. Robots are used to automatically take out, inspect, and measure pressed parts.
Die Cast Factory (Headquarters/Mibu)
Die cast parts for Motors are manufactured in this factory. Robots are used throughout the process, performing casting, unloading, bending and deburring.
Mold Factory (Headquarters/Mibu)
Roboshots are used to produce plastic parts for CNCs, Servo Motors and Servo Amplifiers. The molding status is constantly monitored and recorded via a network.
Sheet Metal Factory (Headquarters)
The Sheet Metal Factory manufactures cabinets for FANUC Robot controller using highly automated systems with Robots.
Paint Factory (Headquarters/Tsukuba)
At the Paint Factory in Headquarters, Servo Motor’s parts and robot parts are painted. At the Paint Factory in Tsukuba, robot parts are painted.
Robots are used to automated the painting, washing and maskingprocesses in both factories.
