Oct 30, 2020

TOKYO, Japan - October 30, 2020 - ORIX Rentec Corporation (“ORIX Rentec”) announced that it will launch a service allowing corporate clients to rent the new CRX series collaborative robots made by FANUC CORPORATION (“FANUC”). The robots will be available through RoboRen, ORIX Rentec’s next-generation robot rental service.

The CRX series collaborative robots are able to work alongside humans without needing to be enclosed by a safety fence. They are installed with a safety function that stops the robots when sensors detect contact with humans. In addition, their actions can be intuitively configured using tablet devices, allowing them to also be easily handled by people without experience in robot operations. They can also be installed without using cranes and are models in pursuit of ease of use, including being capable of direct training that allows actions to be learnt by just moving the robot arm by hand.
The robots are being offered through RoboRen’s six-month trial rental package at a monthly fee starting from 197,000 yen excluding taxes. Including the CRX series collaborative robots, the lineup of robots handled by RoboRen will be 44 models from 18 manufactures.

The global market for human collaboration robots is predicted to expand approximately 4.5 times from 59 billion yen in 2019 to 265.3 billion yen in 2025*. The market continues to grow against a backdrop of manpower shortage in manufacturing industries such as those related to automotive and electronic components. Light work—such as inspection, transfer, and picking—are expected to also be taken over by robots in the future.

Going forward, ORIX Rentec will continue to help resolve the shortage of labor in Japan and increase productivity by promoting the use of robots and supporting automation in a wide range of industrial fields.
