e-BOT wins technology award
July 1st 2007

Yamazaki Mazak has been presented with the Nikkei Manufacturing award for its e-BOT CELL 720. The award is presented to factories or research facilities that develop efficient manufacturing methods to compete with countries with lower labour costs. The e-BOT CELL 720 is designed for unmanned operation over extended periods. It comprises a multi-tasking CNC machine tool and an intelligent robot that can automatically detect correct workpiece orientation. The system can manufacture, unmanned, a variety of workpieces in small batch sizes for 720 hours (24 hrs x 30 days). Labour requirements are claimed to be reduced by 80% and in-process time by 60%, while realising uptime rates well over 90%.

"Yamazaki Mazak is extremely proud to have been recognised with a Nikkei Manufacturing Award," says Tony Saunders, UK sales director.
