Highlights of FA Corner

(October 23, 2018) Updated for more information.

Machining Performance, Minimizing Downtime and Ease of Use

FANUC FA products will contribute to improving productivity of the manufacturing site worldwide with three development themes; “Machining Performance”, “Ease of Use”, and “Minimizing Downtime”.

“Machining Performance”

FANUC will contribute for higher performance of machines by aiming to “Better Surface Quality”, “Higher Precision Machining Shape”, and “Reducing Cycle Time”.

“Ease of Use”

FANUC will provide products for various purposes that have the features such as “Easy Start-up and Adjustment of Machines”, “Integral Support of Job”, and “Adaptable to Various Machines”.

“Minimizing Downtime”

FANUC will contribute to establish durable FA system which represented in the word “Reliable”, “Predictable”, and “Easy to Repair”, by the functions that support “High Reliability”, “Preventive Maintenance”, and “Shorter Mean Time To Repair”.

In our booth, you can experience the advanced features of our FA products, which are arranged in the categories of these three themes. For AI and IoT, we have exhibited "AI function for FA" and "IoT for FA" corner set up.
Please visit FANUC FA corner to realize that FANUC FA products can strongly support your product manufacturing.
