Integrated Production System from Motor to Pump
Production Facilities
Motor Production Building
-
FMS Processing Area
A Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) linking machine tools, material handling equipment, and an automated warehouse enables efficient high-mix, low-volume machining as well as unmanned overnight operation.
-
Shaft Processing Area
Robots are used to automate a sequence of operations including processing, quenching, and polishing.
-
Motor Winding Area
Stators ranging from 2.2 to 75 kW are produced here. We also manufacture motors that comply with standards worldwide, including requirements for voltage ratings and insulation classes.
-
Automated Warehouse Area
A 960-rack automated warehouse stores and transports parts for motor assembly. An inventory management system linked to the automated warehouse in the Pump Production Building centrally manages storage locations and quantities.
-
Motor Assembly Area
Motors of up to 350 kW—including those designed after ordering—are assembled.
-
Testing Area
A dedicated test tank enables simultaneous performance testing of up to four pumps with discharge diameters ranging from 50 to 350 mm.

Automated Parts Warehouse
A 9,500-rack automated warehouse stores pump parts, while an inventory management system centrally manages storage locations and quantities.
-
Parts Distribution Area
A system for efficiently supplying the necessary parts to assembly lines based on production instructions.
-
Assembly Lines
There are four assembly lines from No. 1 to No. 4. These can also handle the assembly of small, general-purpose pumps and special-purpose pumps.
-
Cable Assembly Area
Cables are assembled employing our expertly designed anti-wicking blocks.
-
Ordered Parts Assembly Area
Pumps of up to 350 mm in diameter designed after ordering are assembled.
-
Shipping Area
A 3,000-rack automated warehouse stores finished products. Products managed in the warehouse are shipped the day after a shipping request is received.
Integrated Design from Motor to Pump
Engineering Division
Our engineering office is based on the concept of “Envision Lab.,” combining “Envision”—creating a better future—with “Lab.,” a place to explore new technologies and ideas.
To make the office a hub for new innovation, we have introduced hot desking to encourage greater communication and collaboration.
Here a variety of simulations—for example, magnetic field, thermal, fluid, and structural analysis—and verification experiments are undertaken with the aim of improving design quality.
