As a trading company specializing in machine tools and peripheral equipment in Thailand and as a "Machinery System Integrator," Siam Sanritsu not only sells products but also proposes systems and equipment that lead to improvements in customers' production sites and processes. In this article, together with Mr. Kawahara, MD of FACOM-KD (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "FACOM"), a major Japanese system integrator company in Thailand, we will introduce "KaRy," a robot integrated with movable rack developed by FACOM.

What is "KaRy," a robot integrated with a movable rack?

Developed by FACOM in 2020, KaRy features reasonable pricing and compactness.

KaRy a robot integrated with a movable rack

“KaRy" Features
✔ From Baht 650,000! Low price and low introduction burden
Introduction of a robot system, which conventionally costs from Yen 5 million to tens of millions of yen. But "KaRy" starts from Baht 650,000 (≒Yen2.4 million | calculated at Baht 1 baht = Yen 3.8) for a set of robot + rack + GOT + controller. Recommended for first-time user of robot installations!

✔ Standardized with Four basic programs installed
Provide programs that ready to use after purchase, enable to learn such as palletizing
・ Pick & Place
・ Stacking
・ Palletizing
・ Depalletizing

✔ A safety option enables it to be introduced to manned lines 　
A safety option would resolve the concerns of not having space to install safety fences for expensive human collaborative robots

✔ Mobile (movable) type makes layout change easy
Casters make it easy to change the robot's position depending on the situation, such as in a production line with variable types and quantities.

✔ High-speed operation is possible by attaching an anchor (optional)
Anchoring allows maximum speed in the safe area, thus reducing takt time

Low cost and high performance robot ideal for starting automation implementation

“KaRy” is a robot that was developed by repestedly and continuously devising to make a compact robot at a low price. The base model is simple with no options, but it contains basic programs that can be utilized and be automated at a low cost, so we hope it will stimulate the companies to introduce automation." (Mr Kawahara of FACOM)

As Mr Kawahara mentioned, the basic model comes with no options, but we will propose the most suitable equipment according to the customer's application and issues such as
・ Robot types and manufacturers
・ Robot hand
・ Program + teaching
・ Inspection cameras
・ Safety options

In the production lines for automotive and machine parts, automation is not progress that much even in Thailand. On the other hand, manufacturers, for example, devote a lot of manpower and time to inspect their products. We believe that "KaRy" can be introduced there to perform automated product inspections and propose labor savings and a constant inspection level.

In addition, “KaRy" can also be used to automatically assemble parts. We can also propose possible automation systems and equipment based on your issues, so please feel free to contact us if you are interested in introducing automation.
