Okuma Corporation and Kimura Foundry Co., Ltd. have developed a next-generation casting technology that enables fully automated manufacturing of small and medium-sized castings using robots, and will begin demonstration manufacturing at the Gunma Factory.
Okuma will continue to implement and improve the system at the demonstration plant, expand the system to Okuma's partner plants, and deploy the system to the Japanese foundry industry for continuing to contribute to resolving social issues faced by the industry.
