Wood processing has entered a new age. In the past, skilled craftsmen were needed to perform precutting work. For example, three carpenters would spend 20 days on the lumber precutting required to build a wooden house. The 6-axis robot requires only 3 days for the same amount of work. Tapping inspection system for tunnels Instances of falling concrete resulting from concrete degradation have become a serious problem in Japan, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport and railroad companies are very much aware of the need for wall surface inspections in tunnels. This system automates the concrete degradation inspection of tunnels. Bus underside washing system for tunnels The washing of the underside of a bus is a troublesome task. This robot performs washing in place of human workers. When the bus enters the bus station, the robot performs a preliminary washing of the whole underside surface with high-pressure water. When the bus body number is input and the washing button is pressed, the robot performs the optimum type of washing based on a specified program corresponding to the construction of the bus. Washing trucks black with dirt is extremely tough work for human workers. This work can be performed by robots instead, thereby improving the working conditions. Usually the washing process involves soaking the truck with a chemical solution and then having human workers wash the truck down with large amounts of water. Now, robots can wash the truck by spraying on a relatively small amount of chemical-free water at high pressure, thus protecting the environment as well as saving labor. |
