Auto-splicing machine
Benefits of introducing the improved FAS-LC08 model
■ Difference Between Machine Operation and Manual Work
-
Work Time Difference: approx. 10 seconds Manual work: approx. 20 seconds (average for skilled operators) Machine: approx. 10–11 seconds
-
Attachment Accuracy: No mistakes Manual work: 5–10 errors Machine: 0 errors
■ Cost Difference Based on Work Time
-
Assuming 24-hour operation and an operator wage of 1,800 JPY/hour (weekday operation only)
-
If the splicing operation is performed 300 times per day (8mm tape):
-
Time saved: 10 seconds×300=3,000 seconds≈50 minutes/day
-
-
Over one month (20 working days): 17 hours saved
-
Over one year: 408 hours saved
-
Converted to labor cost: 1,800×408=734,400 JPY
➡ Work-time reduction alone results in approx. 730,000 JPY saved per year.
■ Cost Difference from Recovery Time Due to Attachment Errors
-
Assuming 5 short stops per day caused by attachment mistakes Recovery time per stop: 5 minutes
-
Total recovery time per day: 5×5=25 minutes/day
-
Over one month (20 working days): 500 minutes (≈ 8 hours) eliminated
-
Converted to labor cost: 1,800×8=14,400 JPY per month
-
Over one year: 14,400×12=172,800 JPY ※原文の「×240」は誤記と思われるため、12ヶ月換算で翻訳しています。 （必要なら原文通りの数字で英訳も可能）
➡ Approx. 170,000 JPY saved per year by eliminating recovery time.
■ Total Annual Cost Difference
-
Work-time reduction: approx. 730,000 JPY/year
-
Recovery-time reduction: approx. 170,000 JPY/year
➡ Total annual difference vs. manual work: approx. 900,000 JPY
■ ROI (Return on Investment)
Even with four machines installed, the investment can be recovered within three years.
■ Additional Note
If you purchase the optional splicing jig and support jig, they can be mounted on the right side of the machine, significantly improving workability for 12mm and wider tapes.
