Occupying a 180,000-square-meter site not far from the Tsuchiura Works, our Kasumigaura Works is a high-tech production line designed to be operated by a minimal staff. This is made possible by the use of an array of computer-controlled devices including material-handling robots, NC machine tools, unmanned conveyance carts, and automated warehouse facilities. The plant manufactures key components of construction equipment, such as reduction gears, swing wheels, cylinders, and rollers, and supplies them to assembly lines at the Tsuchiura Works and to our overseas production bases.
