High production efficiency, low energy costs and noise emissions bundled with great technical support and service is what customers can expect from FANUC’s ROBOSHOT fully electric injection moulding machine.
To expand its production capacity TESY needed to drastically raise its output in the production of plastic parts, incorporated into their final products.
Solution
TESY invested in two fully electric FANUC ROBOSHOT injection moulding machines with clamping force of 350 tonnes.
Result
With the implementation of FANUC’s industrial equipment, the Bulgarian manufacturer TESY managed to reduce the costs of manufactured parts, to decrease the technological waste and energy costs, to achieve a consistently high level of quality and repeatability of manufactured parts, and last but not least – to improve the working environment, thanks to the low noise levels of the machines.

Tesy
TESY is the largest Bulgarian and one of the leading European manufacturers of electric storage water heaters, indirectly heated water tanks and electric heating appliances. The company is part of Ficosota Holding and has 5 factories on the territory of Bulgaria. The company sells its products in more than 50 countries on 4 continents.
Increasing Capacity in the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Industry
TESY keeps increasing its production capacity and launching new product lines in the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) industry. “We needed a highly efficient solution in order to increase our capacity in the production of plastic parts, incorporated in our assembled products,” said Desislav Dimitrov, Project Manager Strategic Investment and Development at TESY.
“We chose FANUC mostly because of its unique machines, which have no analogue among the rest of the world’s manufacturers in this class of machines. A very important condition for our final decision was the fact that we have been given the opportunity to test the offered machines with our own material and staff, that has practically convinced us of the excellent qualities, functionality and efficiency of the machines,” says Dimitrov.
“FANUC ROBOSHOT 𝛼-S300𝑖A, with a clamping force of 350 tonnes, is an injection moulding machine equipped with a fully electric (servo) drive of all the machine axes. This, combined with a precise CNC control and FANUC additional systems, has helped us to achieve over 70% higher energy efficiency compared with the hydraulic machines, we have been working with so far,” states Dimitrov. The benefits for TESY in the implementation of FANUC ROBOSHOT machines are not limited to the substantial reduction of the electricity costs in the production process.
"After the ROBOSHOT machines were implemented, we saw that the achieved results completely overlapped the data from the preliminary talks and the ones indicated in the offer."

"The extremely low noise levels of FANUC’s electrical machines have led to a significant improvement in the working environment in the production hall and an exceptional level of satisfaction of both the manufacturing process workers and the managerial staff,” comments Dimitrov.
TESY also expanded its partnership with FANUC in the field of robotics by installing several models in its production. For practical training of the employees on site, TESY has equipped its training ROBO Center with a special robotic cell FANUC Educational Package.
“We would also like to make notice of the proactive and beneficial cooperation we got from the FANUC team at all stages of the project – testing, installation and after-sales service. My hope is that in FANUC Bulgaria we found a long-term partner for our future projects!” concludes Dimitrov.
