All products are developed and manufactured in Japan using premium materials and proven, high-quality processes.
- Superior energy efficiency and safety. Low 24V DC operation, brushless DC motors, and run-on-demand technology (motors run only when products arrive) lead to over 60% energy savings compared to traditional conveyors. Minimized electric shock and injury, along with quiet operation (airless mechanism), are key features.Superior energy efficiency and safety.
