FANUC America
FANUC—an acronym for Fuji Automatic Numerical Control—was established in Japan in 1972, but its history began long before that when the first numerical control in Japan’s private sector was successfully developed in 1956. In 1982, FANUC brought its technology to the U.S. in the form of industrial robots. Since that time, we’ve never looked back – and today FANUC is the global leader in CNC systems, robotics, and ROBOMACHINEs with over 40 million products installed worldwide. | FANUC es el líder global en ROBOTICA, CNC’s y ROBOMACHINE’s con más de 40 millones de productos instalados.
