Tomo Robo, a rebar binding robot, supports large diameters (D 19 to D29), which was previously impossible, and automates the binding work for civil engineering and infrastructure construction. Ken Robotech Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kida-gun, Kagawa Prefecture; Representative Director: Tatsuya Manabe; hereinafter referred to as “Ken Robotech”) and Fuji P.S. Co., Ltd. (President: Tadahiko Tsutsumi; hereinafter referred to as “Fuji P.S.”) is a rebar binding robot "Tomo Robo" that has not been able to handle large diameters (D 19 to D 29) for civil engineering and infrastructure construction. We would like to inform you that we have confirmed Developed and sold by Ken Robotech, with the aim of improving productivity at construction sites and reducing the burden on workers, the rebar binding robot "Tomo Robo", which can be automated simply by attaching a commercially available electric binding tool, is mainly used for construction work. Originally a robot that specialized in tying small-diameter (φ10-16mm) reinforcing bars, with the full cooperation of Fuji P.S., existing machines can be used for large-diameter (φ19-29mm) for civil engineering and infrastructure construction. ), and on January 21, 2021, we confirmed its practicality and effectiveness through an on-site demonstration experiment provided by Fuji P.S. Improvements will be made based on this experiment, and operation will begin with construction work by the company. It can be used in civil engineering and infrastructure construction (D16/D19 and above), which could not be automated until now, and enables smart construction using robots in more construction, improving productivity and stabilizing quality. Aiming to solve social problems such as aging of workers and shortage of workers, it aims to be a new initiative in the work area of i-Construction promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. . Mr. Tatsuya Manabe, Representative Director of Ken Robotech Co., Ltd. commented on this partnership: It is difficult to proceed with field surveys and experiments because the target construction is a public project, which has not been possible so far. was the area. Thanks to the full cooperation of Fuji P.S. Co., Ltd., we are very happy that we were able to create a robot suitable for the site. In the future, we will expand the scope of application and aim to make the Tomorobo series a true partner for all people working in the field, solving social problems such as labor shortages. Mr. Tadahiko Tsutsumi, President of Fuji P.S. Co., Ltd.: With the spread of IT construction, especially in earthwork, the rationalization of PC bridge construction was a major issue. This time, thanks to Ken Robotech's high technological capabilities, the successful implementation of a mounting experiment aimed at the full-scale introduction of a rebar binding robot to construction sites is a major step toward the full-scale use of IT. I feel that I have received it. It is expected that people and robots working together as partners will become the standard in the future. We will continue to experiment with the use of robots in various ways and aim to create workplaces that are age-friendly and easy to work in. Experimental site Panoramic view of the experiment About Ken Robotech Co., Ltd. Ken Robotech has a vision of "creating a world-friendly work site", and various construction sites, including the collaborative robot "Tomo Robo Series" for construction sites. We provide labor-saving solutions.
