Nachi Fujikoshi Corporation :: Industrial Robots Used in Automotive, Electronics, General Manufacturing & Other Sectors

Nachi-Fujikoshi Corporation (also known as Nachi) is a major Japanese multinational manufacturer founded in 1928 in Toyama, Japan. Originally focused on bearings and cutting tools, the company has evolved into a comprehensive machinery and robotics powerhouse. With robotics as one of its core businesses, Nachi-Fujikoshi is recognized for producing high-quality, reliable industrial robots used in automotive, electronics, general manufacturing, and other sectors. The company operates globally with manufacturing facilities in Japan, North America, Europe, and Asia, and emphasizes precision engineering, durability, and integration with its own motion control and hydraulic technologies.

Nachi began developing industrial robots in the late 1960s, leveraging its expertise in hydraulics and machine tools. Today, it offers a wide range of 6-axis articulated robots, SCARA robots, and specialized automation solutions. Their robots are known for high speed, precision, payload capacity, and energy efficiency, making them suitable for spot welding, arc welding, material handling, palletizing, assembly, machine tending, and painting applications.

Key robot-based products include:

• MZ Series: Compact, high-speed, high-precision robots (e.g., MZ07, MZ10) ideal for electronics, small parts assembly, and light material handling. Recent models emphasize faster cycle times and improved accuracy.
• MC Series / ES Series: Heavy-duty robots designed for automotive spot welding, arc welding, and large payload handling. These models offer robust construction and are widely used in high-volume production lines.
• Collaborative Robots: Safer, user-friendly models designed for direct interaction with human workers in flexible manufacturing cells.
• Specialized Systems: Including palletizing robots, welding cells (enhanced through partnerships), and custom automation solutions integrated with Nachi’s servo motors, controllers, and vision systems.

Nachi continues to innovate with AI-enhanced robots, digital twins, and smart factory solutions. The company has delivered tens of thousands of robots globally and maintains a strong reputation for reliability and long-term support.
