Notice Concerning Enhancement of Production Capacity for Robots

At present, FANUC CORPORATION (the "Company") has a monthly production capacity of 5,000 units for robots. However, a considerable rise in demand for robots has necessitated an enhancement to our production capacity. Given the situation, we decided to divert a section of Tsukuba Factory to the production of robots. At Tsukuba Factory, though we are currently manufacturing ROBODRILL (small machining center), we are putting together and streamlining production spaces to secure areas for the production of robots.

After the diversion described above, our production capacity for ROBODRILL will become 3,000 units per month.

  1. Production of robots at Tsukuba Factory

    Planned production capacity 1,000 units per month

    Launch of production (planned) April 2017

  2. Gross production capacity of robots at FANUC (after enhancement)

    Gross production capacity (Headquarters Factory and Tsukuba Factory)

    6,000 units per month

  3. Investment amount

We estimate the costs for putting together/streamlining of production spaces and installment of new equipment for the production of robots at Tsukuba Factory, to be approximately 800 million yen.

[Financial forecast]

We expect the increased production capacity for robots described above to have a marginal impact on our performance in this fiscal year.
