TM Robotics Partners with M.A.P Services to Sell Toshiba Machine Industrial Robots in Australia for the First Time
M.A.P will offer full line of Cartesian, 6-Axis and SCARA robot systems for all types of automation and materials handling industries
MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--From National Manufacturing Week Stand #1936 -- Today TM Robotics and Toshiba Machine Industrial Robots announced they have partnered with M.A.P Services to sell Toshiba Machine robots in Australia. After many years of searching for the perfect partner, TM Robotics finally met M.A.P Services at this years IREX show in Japan, where the two organizations discovered they were both looking for the same thing - the opportunity to sell top notch robotics in Australia. With this new relationship, M.A.P will now be able to give its manufacturing and production customers a full range of solutions from Toshiba Machine Industrial Robots, one of the only robotics companies in the world that delivers every type of robot a customer could want - Cartesian, 6-axis and SCARA. The companies will kick off their relationship from Stand 1936 at National Manufacturing Week in Sydney, Australia, which takes place from 11-13 May.
M.A.P Services provides support and solutions for many applications in a variety of industries, including: automotive, food, beverage, paper, recycling, chemical and more. The company, along with TM Robotics, will be exhibiting Toshiba Machine Industrial Robots THL500 SCARA and TVL500 6-axis robots from National Manufacturing Week.
The THL SCARA models satisfy the growing demand for affordable, flexible automation in applications outside of the traditional robot industries. In addition, because the lightweight system generates substantially less inertia, a simplified gearbox has been used. The net result is that these robots are the most energy efficient in their class. With the TVL 6-axis models, the unique design allows for easy extensions with further generations of the model, based on the same concept, and it is an easy-to-program option thats attractive to the automation engineers. The robot is capable of picking, placing, handling and palletizing small parts, and is part of the lightweight, cost-sensitive series as it saves on power through its efficient, lighter-weight design that reduces power consumption, while maintaining Toshiba Machines market-leading speed and accuracy.
"Australia is a territory that has not previously had a proactive company like M.A.P Services marketing, supporting, and selling Toshiba Machine Industrial Robots," said Nigel Smith, CEO of TM Robotics. "Were excited about getting Australia up and running as we continue to explore other market sectors that provide new opportunities for our robots."
"Increasing our robotic offerings has been a priority for us this year, so were thrilled to finally be able to do that by partnering with TM Robotics to provide its full line of Toshiba Machine Industrial Robots," said Shane Gallagher, Director at M.A.P Services. "With such a robust, rigid line of robots, our customers will now have more ways to address their unique manufacturing needs than ever before."
National Manufacturing Week exhibition hours will run from 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 11 May; 10:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, 12 May; and from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 13 May. For more information, visit www.nationalmanufacturingweek.com.au.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
