About Mitsubishi Electric (MELFA)
MELFA is the industrial robot brand of Mitsubishi Electric’s factory automation business, built and sold from the company’s Nagoya Works. The range is deliberately focused on cell-based production: vertical articulated robots in the RV-FR series, horizontal SCARA robots in the RH-FR series and the MELFA ASSISTA collaborative robot, which is designed to share a workspace with people without safety fencing. Payloads run from about 2 kg to 20 kg, with cleanroom, oil-mist and food/pharmaceutical variants for electronics, semiconductor, medical and packaging lines. What distinguishes MELFA from stand-alone robot brands is integration: the robots plug directly into Mitsubishi Electric’s own FA platform of MELSEC PLCs, servos, HMIs and networks, and optional MELFA Smart Plus cards add functions such as sensor-based calibration, preventive maintenance and coordinated control across the cell lifecycle, from design and start-up to operation.
Robots are manufactured at Nagoya Works in Japan and sold through Mitsubishi Electric’s global factory-automation network. For partners and system integrators, MELFA is most relevant where a production line is already standardised on Mitsubishi controllers, or where a compact, high-speed, high-precision robot is needed for assembly, inspection, handling and packaging cells — a single-vendor route to robots, control and support.
