Case 1: Air Capsule (Highmex Manufactured Air Shaft) - Customer: Primary Raw Material Manufacturer 【Customer's Challenge】 They were using a steel lug-type shaft that was 3000mm long and weighed over 50kg, which was very heavy and resulted in poor work efficiency. They wanted to improve work efficiency somehow. ↓ 【Proposal from Highmex】 Highmex, which has been pursuing the themes of lightweight, precise rotation, and long lifespan in air shafts for many years, developed a uniquely structured air shaft called the Air Capsule. It features strong clamping force while being lightweight. Compared to conventional lug-type tube models, it achieves approximately 50% weight reduction (with the same material). ↓ 【Solution/Results】 They successfully improved work efficiency significantly compared to before, which also led to a reduction in overall work time in the process.

By directly winding slit ear ends, protective films, and various waste materials without a core, which occur during film trimming, we can simplify the recycling process and reduce paper tube costs. To wind highly shrinkable films without a core, a "large expansion and contraction capacity" and a "structure that can withstand significant winding tension" are essential. The new product "Wing Shaft," developed by Haimex to improve waste material winding with a unique idea, addresses the issues on-site. 【Features】 - The large expansion and contraction capacity allows for easy removal of the wound waste from the winding shaft. - The eight "swing wings" can withstand significant winding tension. - The low moment of inertia helps to suppress tension fluctuations. *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

The Free Con Roll expands the possibilities of CFRP rollers through a patented technology that directly integrates CFRP into metal pipes. In roll products, the need for high rigidity and lightweight CFRP rollers is increasing to accommodate wider web widths and lower tension in winding. At Hyamex, we have made it possible to freely perform surface hardness and surface treatment by coating metal pipes with CFRP. ● For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

The "Glass Steel Treater Roll (GSTR)" is a glass-fused corona dielectric treatment roll. Because it is a corona treatment roll fused with "uniform" and "non-porous" glass, it is possible to achieve a "inorganic" and "non-porous" surface that cannot be obtained with other dielectric-coated corona treatment rolls. Simply replacing the currently used corona treatment roll can significantly improve the capabilities of the corona treatment and plasma treatment processes. By switching to the "Glass Steel Treater Roll," you can experience an exceptional web surface treatment like never before. ● For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

**Monopole Series** This is a roll transport cart equipped with a colonoze that extracts and transports the raw material supported by cantilever. To prevent product drops, it is equipped with a claw-operated safety device that allows free entry direction and stops in the extraction direction. We propose improvements for "the efficiency and safety of the handover process between the raw material and the winding machine" from the perspective of a core chuck manufacturer. **Omni-Directional Electric Drive Series** This is a horizontal raw material transport cart developed primarily for transferring and setting raw materials lifted by hoist cranes onto a receiving platform. We offer both manual and electric drive options to meet a wide range of customer specifications. The electric drive type allows for angle adjustment of the driving wheels, enabling movement in the X direction, Y direction, and diagonal directions, as well as turning in place, making it ideal for transporting heavy rolls in narrow spaces. ● For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

• Trolley

This is a device for handling heavy materials that allows for lifting and placing raw materials horizontally, standing horizontally placed raw materials on a pallet, and taking out boxed raw materials to place them either horizontally or vertically. A major feature is that it can be used by attaching it to an existing chain block, which significantly reduces equipment costs. ● For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

The "Roll Picker" is a raw material vertical transport machine that allows for comfortable work even in limited spaces, thanks to its smooth movement and excellent footwork. When transferring raw materials such as film, paper, and aluminum foil to machines or pallets, the materials are handled either horizontally or vertically. However, even in factories where factory automation (FA) has advanced, there is still a heavy reliance on manual labor, especially when handling heavy items, which poses risks of back pain and injuries. At Haimex, we have realized a Roll Picker that pursues the rationalization and safety of such tasks. It can stand, lay down, and transport raw materials... freely transferring from pallet to machine and from machine to pallet. This is a raw material vertical transport machine that prioritizes safety and efficiency in operations. It is easy to use, allowing one person to handle heavy items effortlessly. The hydraulic system provides smooth movement that is gentle on raw materials. Additionally, unlike traditional fixed models, it is equipped with a transport function that offers excellent footwork. This raw material vertical transport machine meets the needs of users and various work environments. Particularly when handling raw materials that take on a telescopic shape when suspended vertically, the capabilities of the Roll Picker are further demonstrated. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The self-locking mechanism contributes to cost reduction in design and manufacturing by standardizing the bearing units of the winding shaft and unwinding shaft. It features a unique mechanism that allows for drive engagement simply by inserting the winding shaft into the self-locking system. Additionally, when the main shaft of the self-locking mechanism rotates 90 degrees, the cover automatically closes, preventing the winding shaft from dropping, which serves as a support component to prevent operational errors. Standardizing the bearing units of the winding shaft and unwinding shaft also contributes to cost reduction in design and manufacturing. For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

The Hi-Rock is an air chuck manufactured by Himeks that employs a capsule chuck mechanism, which expands a high-density urethane capsule using air pressure to grip the core. Since the urethane capsule expands to grip the entire circumference of the core, it reliably transmits drive even for metals and resins that are prone to slipping with conventional taper cones. It can accommodate sizes from 1 inch to 15 inches, making it particularly suitable for lightweighting and cost reduction of large diameter air shafts. It can also be used as a large diameter adapter for existing air shafts. ● For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

Opslock is a mechanical chuck manufactured by Haimex that incorporates a mechanical mechanism ensuring high centering accuracy, evolved from the urethane molding technology developed with air capsules and Hi-Lock. The complete sealing of the sliding parts enables a response to high-quality needs. By using urethane material at the contact points with the winding core, it allows for use with various core materials, pursuing "high-performance quality." We offer two types: the A series, which operates with air pressure, and the S series, which operates with side pressure from the winding device, to meet diverse on-site needs. By aligning the size with the conventional Hi-Lock, it enables space-saving equipment design. ● For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.
