According to relevant sources, the Japanese company Fanuc is planning to strengthen the production system of the Tsukuba Plant, and plans to increase the monthly capacity of the small machine tool "robotmachine" from the current 2,500 units to 5,000 units in December 2012. The new local factory is currently under construction and is scheduled to start production in December 2012.

It is understood that the new factory is the same as other factories of FANUC. The person in charge said that it will implement the principle of automated production using industrial robots, and plans to increase production of small machine tools "robotmaé„„chine" to the place of production of smart phones and tablet terminals in China. The market is centered on sales. FANUC has built a new factory at its headquarters plant last year, and strives to increase the monthly production capacity of industrial robots to 5,000 units.
