Janome Industrial Equipment

What Janome Industrial Equipment does

Janome Industrial Equipment is the industrial-equipment division of Janome, a Japanese corporation. It develops and manufactures electric servo presses and automation robots. Its core portfolio includes the JP Series 5, JP-S2, and JP5S servo presses; JR4000 and JR3000 desktop robots; and JC-3 Cartesian robots, with application-specific systems for dispensing, screw fastening, PCB depaneling, screw feeding, and visual inspection. The equipment uses AC servo motors, precision load-cell force detection, and real-time position and load monitoring, supplemented by programmable controllers, PC software, industrial-network support, and optional vision systems.

The company sells primarily through direct, quote-based engagement with manufacturing buyers, using subsidiaries in the United States, China, and India to provide demonstrations, feasibility testing, commissioning, training, calibration, maintenance, and after-sales support. It serves precision manufacturing, electronics, semiconductor, medical and life-science, automotive, and heavy-industrial customers, with clean-room-compatible presses extending its addressable applications. Revenue is principally generated by complete hardware-system sales, while professional services may add project-specific or contract-based income; no public pricing, customer concentration, or revenue data is disclosed.

Core offering

Janome Industrial Equipment manufactures and sells electric servo presses and desktop robots used for precision industrial assembly automation. Its product portfolio includes the JP Series 5, JP-S2, and JP5S servo press lines alongside the JR4000, JR3000, and JC-3 desktop and cartesian robot lines, supported by proprietary PC software (JR C-Points, JP TaS II) and field-network connectivity for factory integration.

Product overview

Janome Industrial Equipment is a manufacturer of electric servo presses and desktop robots for industrial automation. The product portfolio is organized into two main lines: (1) Servo Presses — comprising the JP Series 5 (flagship unit-type and stand-alone press, available in standard, clean room, two-hand switch, and flexible models), the JP-S2 Series (slim inline-focused servo press), and the JP5S Series (hybrid high-capacity press up to 300kN); and (2) Desktop Robots — anchored by the JR4000 Series (flagship desktop robot) and JR3000 Series (with sub-variants including Heavy Duty, Depaneling/ERT, Screw Tightening/ST, Twin Table/T, Dispensing with Camera/AP-D, and Multifunctional Inspection/i22X), supplemented by Cartesian Robots (JC-3 Series) and Automatic Screw Presenters. The products share a common PC software ecosystem (JR C-Points, JP TaS II) and support multiple field networks (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, CC-Link, EtherCAT, etc.) for factory automation integration. Janome also provides after-sales support, load calibration, and multilingual operation through global subsidiaries.
