Background to Introduction

We had two employees assigned to thick material processing, but we decided to introduce the TBM-41-1ASV in order to improve productivity in the processing plant.

Key points of introduction

In addition to reducing the number of personnel required for thick material processing, we wanted to minimize the physical strain on employees during processing. The ability to reduce the burden of thick material bending—the most physically demanding part of processing—was a decisive factor.
Furthermore, as the number of foreign trainees is expected to increase in the future, the ease of operation via a touch panel was an attractive feature.
Another advantage is the ability to perform bending processing based on the working (base) dimensions.

(Addendum)
→This product has been replaced by the Main Reinforcement Bar Bending Machine | BSI-41Y4-V ~Gorilla~.

Effects after introduction

Compared to when we used a single bending machine, the physical burden has been reduced.
In addition, production efficiency has improved due to the reduction in processing time.

Future Prospects

In the future, we aim to fully automate machinery as the era of human labor comes to an end and quality demands continue to rise.
We also seek to increase the number of tasks that anyone can perform. For example, we are expanding roles for young employees using CAD and ensuring that processing plants prepare materials accurately so that anyone can assemble them on-site.
We strongly believe that reinforcing steel contractors must also adapt to these changes.
