Technologies to Overcome Humanoid Challenges
Product Lineup
We offer a diverse array of products built upon our core technologies. This lineup is not our final destination; we will continuously refine and evolve these solutions in anticipation of increasingly advanced humanoids.
As a first step toward solving your challenges and finding the optimal solution, we invite you to explore our current offerings. We also welcome consultations for custom development.
■Manipulation
Achieving the compact, lightweight form factor and exceptional responsiveness required for robotic hands, our motors seamlessly balance delicate precision with formidable power.
■Vision
Featuring high-resolution, wide-angle designs for precise object recognition, our optical solutions deliver clear vision even in harsh environments.
■Motion
Balancing the lightweight and compact design essential for joint drives with high-precision positioning and high torque. From zero-backlash reduction gears and next-generation gears with built-in multi-sensors, to low-inertia, high-efficiency frameless motors, we contribute to the exceptionally smooth movement of humanoids.
■Sensing
We offer torque sensors that combine a thin profile and high rigidity with high-precision detection, alongside 6-axis force sensors that enhance system safety during unexpected loads. These proudly support the delicate, precise operation, and high safety and reliability of humanoids.
■Mobility
Offering enhanced installation flexibility through miniaturization and quiet operation via helical gears. Boasting a high maximum allowable load of up to 650 kgf per axis, these units support stable mobility and versatile design capabilities.
■Thermal
Addressing the heat challenges within increasingly high-density robot chassis, we provide heat dissipation products such as fans, heat pipes, and vapor chambers. We meet diverse cooling needs to ensure the stable operation of your robots.
