Having its strengths in motor design and production as well as machine control, the products of the Mitsubishi Electric Corp., Factory Automation Systems Group, are not only used at production sites, but also in intelligent buildings, as well as a myriad of other areas.
Its main line of products includes industrial components such as controllers and motors typically used in factories, as well as power distribution system components such as circuit breakers and transformers. Representative products include Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), servomotors and systems (comprising a servo motor, amplifier and controller) and inverters that are used to control the speed of motors. Furthermore, the group produces inverters that control the revolution speed of motors.
In the area of machinery, it produces electrical discharge machines for processing precision components such as artificial bone implants through to machining F1 car parts. Furthermore, its laser processing machines are used for sizing and shaping metal plating and hole-punching through multilayered print structures such as circuit boards for which the company has a worldwide share of more than 70 percent. In addition, the Factory Automation Systems Group is a leading maker of CNC, a specialist precision machine tool controller.
