[Magazine Contribution] November Issue of Press Technology: Cover Interview: Leaders of Manufacturing Innovation Featured

Introducing different approaches aimed at achieving assembly results in press forming engineering!

We will demonstrate, using practical examples, how considering the results of the hemming process in advance during the design of the press forming process can minimize the risk of costly redesigns by incorporating those results into the design. [Contents] - Press forming process considering hemming results - Comparison of individual part springback and subassembly springback - Results of process verification *For more details, please refer to the "Catalog Download."

In the fields of precision machinery and medical devices, precision management at the micron and nano level is essential. A key component in this is the ultra-small diameter pin gauge. In particular, pin gauges made of carbide are excellent in wear resistance and strength, achieving stable measurements. This page explains the applications and benefits of introducing ultra-small diameter pin gauges, so please take a look.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.

Combining LIXIL's aluminum profiles manufactured in Japan with precise parts delivered from the German company Schüco, perfectly matching the color and texture of both—this is a rare craftsmanship where Japan's delicacy resonates with Germany's rationality.

Stamp duty, which can be a significant cost in contract business... By switching to electronic contracts, you can reduce this cost. The PDF files of contracts used in electronic contracts do not fall under taxable documents according to the Stamp Duty Act. Therefore, by switching to electronic contracts, you eliminate the need for physical stamps. ◆ "Electronic Contracts" without worrying about stamp duty When you use electronic contracts, there is no stamp duty. Electronic contracts can prove "authenticity" and "non-repudiation" through electronic signatures with electronic certificates and timestamps from certified service providers. * Electronic signature: Ensures authenticity through email addresses, identification, and certificates of registered matters. * Certified service provider timestamp: Proves that the document "existed" at that time and in that state, indicating that it has "not been altered." ◆ For inquiries about electronic contract services, contact paperlogic! "paperlogic Electronic Contract" is a cloud service specialized in electronic contracts and document management. It can be used not only for managing estimates and invoices but also for electronic contracts using witness-type (equivalent to a seal) and party-type (equivalent to a registered seal). Additionally, we offer consulting plans for DX, so please feel free to contact us.
