Achieves half-lock prevention between connectors connected to the wire harness.

We received a request from an automotive parts manufacturer stating, "We want to prevent unlatched (half-locked) conditions during the wire harness connector mating process." In response to our customer's request, we developed a dedicated tool (hereinafter referred to as "Connector Mating Checker") to confirm that the connectors connected to the wire harness used in the customer's production process are in a locked state. By equipping the Connector Mating Checker with the mistake-proofing transmitter TW-800T, we created a system that "wirelessly transmits work performance when it is confirmed that the connectors are in a locked state." 【Mechanical Design】 (1) Wireless transmission occurs only when the connectors are in a locked state. (2) The design allows operators to easily perform confirmation tasks (achieving a size that fits in hand). (3) Confirmation tasks can be performed on connectors located in narrow spaces. Since numerous connectors are used in automobiles, it is expected that this system can be applied to connectors of other shapes, leading to the horizontal deployment of half-lock prevention (mistake-proofing) for connectors. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

It can be paired with multiple Poka-Yoke transmitters TW-800T (there is no limit to the number of devices that can be paired).

• Other FA equipment

Transmission and reception devices for poka-yoke with a communication distance of 100m.

The TW-820R-EXL is an enhanced receiver for poka-yoke applications, equipped with LAN output, improving the communication performance of the TW-800R-EXL receiver. When combined with the slim transmitter TW-820T for poka-yoke applications, it achieves a communication distance of 100 meters, significantly extending the previous range of 30 to 50 meters. Additionally, by replacing the LAN-connected TW-800R-EXL receiver currently in use in production processes with the TW-820R-EXL, it is possible to extend the communication distance without changing the transmitter attached to the poka-yoke tools. This allows for the transmission of poka-yoke information over the customer's LAN infrastructure. It can pair with multiple poka-yoke compatible tools (there is no limit on the number of devices that can be paired). Furthermore, by integrating with the "Production Process Support Software for Poka-Yoke Tools POKAYOKE plus" via LAN, work traceability can be ensured.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has initiated various construction projects, and safety management and improvement of working conditions during the extreme heat of summer have become significant themes at civil engineering sites. Even as the concept of summer work stoppages spreads, it is important not to rely solely on stoppages but to focus on innovative temporary materials to improve daily site conditions. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials that utilize wooden CLT. They can be used in various civil engineering sites as a substitute for steel plates, including temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways. The 5×10 sheet weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle with small machinery, which helps reduce the burden of installation and removal. Thanks to the unique properties of wood, these sheets can help minimize glare compared to steel plates, making them useful for heat stroke prevention measures and environmental considerations during the summer. Additionally, they are expected to provide benefits in terms of construction efficiency and site environment, such as improved transportation efficiency and noise reduction. As a registered technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS "TH-250021-A," they are also recommended for creative proposals in public works. Please consider them as a new option for civil engineering sites looking to address heat-related issues, including summer work stoppages. We also accept inquiries for consultations on implementation tailored to site conditions and requests for materials. We can provide proposals for public works and private civil engineering projects both within and outside Okayama Prefecture. Please feel free to contact us.

In recent years, as infectious diseases have spread, there has been a demand for products that enable "contactless operation," and this trend has extended to environments where automatic doors were previously operated by touch switches. As the automation of doors and the non-contact operation of automatic doors become more widespread, do you have any of the following concerns? ☑ Although we have introduced automatic doors, they remain open due to people crossing frequently in busy areas. ☑ We implemented touch switches to reduce unnecessary opening and closing, but we are concerned about hygiene. ☑ Touch switches require battery replacements regularly since they are powered. The light beam touch sensor "HA-T401" allows automatic doors to open and close without physical contact, and its compact detection range makes it suitable for narrow passages and high foot traffic areas, contributing to energy savings and infection control. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ○ Adaptable to various door types with four different spot settings, ideal for busy roads and narrow passages. ○ Energy-saving effect with two setting modes that reduce unnecessary opening and closing of automatic doors. ○ Equipped with a light beam touch function, allowing doors to open and close simply by waving a hand, ensuring hygiene. ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

The inspection targets of the "MSX-7003 series" are relatively large electronic devices. 【Inspection Targets】 - LED - Optical devices - High-frequency devices - Power semiconductors - IR sensors - Gyro sensors - Angular velocity sensors - Electrolytic capacitors, etc. The transport system is designed based on "pallet to pallet" to accommodate various types of work. The following three processes are performed automatically by the airtight inspection device: - Helium bombarding - Gross leak test - Fine leak test For packaged products smaller than 10 mm on each side, the work is set up using pallets or trays, followed by helium bombarding ↓ Then transported to the leak test process through high-speed handling ↓ Going through a continuous process from the gross leak test to the fine leak test ↓ And finally, discharged onto a pallet through high-speed handling. It also supports inline operations (the height of the pass line is 940 mm). Please watch the YouTube video from the link below.
