We would like to introduce a case study of our "TCG Ring (Full Ring)" implementation. In the existing equipment, a belt pulley was adopted due to concerns about backlash. While the occurrence of play was prevented due to the friction of the belt, dust from the worn belt adhered to the products, leading to defective products and the need for manual cleaning of the dust from the products, which became a challenge. After the implementation, maintenance became unnecessary, and the hassle of adjusting the belt tension was eliminated. 【Features】 - Maintains non-backlash while solving the issue of wear dust adhesion. - Reduces the number of mechanical components for belt tension adjustment, thereby reducing the maintenance work for regular tension adjustments. - Extends the maintenance cycle, contributing to a reduction in maintenance costs and running costs. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of our "TCG Runner."

We would like to introduce a case study of our "TCG Ring (Split Ring)." In a large processing machine, a standard 360° ring gear was used, but due to electrical wiring and air hoses running through the hollow section, it was necessary to disassemble the equipment and remove the entire ring gear during maintenance, which required significant time and manpower. By adopting the TCG split ring, it became possible to remove only the necessary parts for maintenance of the electrical wiring and air hoses, thereby reducing work time. Additionally, by switching from a single large ring gear to a split ring, the weight per piece became manageable for one person, leading to a reduction in the number of workers needed. 【Features】 ■ Changing to a split ring allows for the removal of only the necessary parts. ■ Simplification of work enables a reduction in personnel. ■ Low wear and long lifespan characteristics allow for a decrease in replacement frequency. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

In the transportation of flooring materials for an elevator manufacturer, a costly and large-scale chain mechanism was used to construct the drive unit. They had been exploring other transportation methods for some time, but due to the heavy weight and the backlash effects from gears and other mechanisms, there were issues with positional misalignment during stops, which led to problems such as impacts on subsequent processes and damage to the flooring materials, causing them to refrain from adoption. After implementation, the issues of wobbling during flooring material transportation were resolved, and the realization of smooth transportation operations allowed for the flooring materials to be transported smoothly to the next process, thereby reducing defects such as scratches and damage. 【Features】 ■ Achieves non-backlash and smooth acceleration/deceleration for heavy material transportation ■ Improved maintenance due to reduced frequency of grease application ■ Cost reduction through the extended lifespan of drive component parts *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of our "TCG Runner." We wanted to improve production efficiency by increasing the transport speed of a gantry loader that uses a rack and pinion on the drive axis. However, we were searching for alternatives because increasing the speed significantly reduced the lifespan of the rack and pinion and also increased noise levels. After implementation, we were able to increase the transport speed while maintaining lifespan and low noise levels. Additionally, wear on the rack and roller pinion was extremely minimal, and even after long-term use, there was no decline in stopping accuracy. Furthermore, the positioning accuracy of the loader improved, which helped prevent issues such as defects caused by problems with stopping positions. 【Features】 ■ Low wear and high durability even at high-speed operation ■ Rolling contact between the rack tooth surface and roller pin prevents noise generation ■ Non-backlash enables high-precision positioning *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

By using two rows of TCG runners in parallel, we were able to transport heavy items that could not be handled by a single row. 【Features】 - Synchronous drive is easy to achieve due to the absence of backlash. - Since the roller pinion and rack tooth surface are in constant contact, the contact points of each tooth can be distributed to two points, allowing for the transport of high-load items through parallel use. - By arranging two rows in parallel, it is possible to transport loads up to 1.5 times the allowable load. - High maintenance performance (using TLS) and low wear characteristics contribute to a longer product lifespan and reduced running costs. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

To consolidate the various processes of the labor-saving device into one, we considered manufacturing a device that completes the work in one process by arranging multiple pinions on the same rack. However, placing the rack and pinion in the same line resulted in significant variation in stopping positions, which led to issues. After implementation, the stopping accuracy improved, and positioning control with multiple heads became possible.

We would like to introduce a case where the introduction of the "PDW Series," which involved changing to a three-phase induction motor, successfully addressed the challenge of controlling indexing speed. The standard specification includes a single-phase induction motor, which has the limitation of operating at a constant speed due to its characteristics. As a result, there were cases where production sites raised more advanced demands to control the indexing speed according to the type of workpiece and the situation of the process. We proposed a solution to change the motor combined with the Pearl Decks to a "three-phase induction motor." This allowed for flexible adjustment of indexing speed through rotational speed control using an inverter. [Challenges] ■ There is a need for variable speed control to optimize takt time, such as low-speed operation to suppress vibrations during workpiece transport or high-speed operation to maximize production capacity. However, the standard motor may not meet these needs, which can prevent the overall performance of the equipment from being maximized. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
