Easy and simple! Manual bar coder. It can be used as a tool for creating color samples and evaluation samples.

- Supports wet film thickness of 400 to 500 μm. - Anyone can easily and quickly create samples with a small amount of material. - By changing the gauge, samples of different film thicknesses can also be easily made. - Using a dedicated printing table ensures high reproducibility. - While actual machines may be used for sample creation, they consume a large amount of material and require significant time for preparation, setup, and cleanup, which is not necessary with a bar coater. - There are coating machines for experimental use, such as film applicators, but they have a narrow coating width and are difficult to use on materials that are prone to warping. - The bar coater can apply coatings up to approximately 300 mm wide and can be used on materials such as flexible copper foil, aluminum foil, plastic film, paper, and fabric, and it can accommodate various coatings including paints, inks, and adhesives.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
