[Free Sample Available] A heating material made by turning a new carbon nanotube (CNT) material into paint and applying a thin film coating.

Unlike planar heating elements made from metallic materials such as nichrome wire, this is a material that heats uniformly across its entire surface. HEATNEX uses CNT as a resistive element and prints it onto a film, achieving a flexible heating material. By adjusting the transparency, it can be made close to transparent and can also accommodate specifications that allow light to pass through. 【Features】 ■ A flexible heating material that can heat uniformly across its entire surface. ■ Heats efficiently through heat conduction and far-infrared radiation. ■ Excellent thermal conductivity and thermal radiation, allowing for instant heating and cooling. ■ It is possible to create a lightweight planar heating element by forming electrodes with conductive paste, etc. ■ Capable of emitting about five times more far-infrared radiation than metallic heating elements. *Evaluation results are based on internal comparisons. 【Newly Developed Products】 High-Temperature Compatible Products - Heat Resistance: 200℃ (Standard Product: 80℃) Using polyimide as the substrate, it can heat at higher temperatures compared to standard products. Low-Voltage Compatible Products - Heat Resistance: 80℃ - Surface Resistivity: 30Ω/□ (Standard Product: 150Ω/□) It can be used at low voltage, making it widely applicable. *For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Significantly reduce work time by one-third without removing the tang. Trial kits are also available in the lineup.

The "Tangless Insert" is a female thread reinforcement that can be inserted without a tang using a special tool. Since the insert has no directional orientation, it can be inserted from either side. There is no need to break off or search for the tang after insertion, which reduces the work time to about one-third compared to conventional products, thereby improving work efficiency. 【Features】 ■ No skilled expertise required. Anyone can easily perform the task. ■ Minimal damage to the female thread during extraction. ■ Both manual and automatic extraction of the insert are possible. ■ A kit that includes manual insertion tools, drills, and taps is also available (3 products: M4/M5/M6). *For more details, please refer to the documentation.

Achieve cost reduction and weight reduction! With deep drawing processing, a production efficiency increase of up to 4 times is possible.

We propose value-added solutions by transitioning products that were traditionally processed through cutting or pipe processing to deep drawing processing. By converting from cutting processes, we achieve not only cost reduction but also weight reduction. Furthermore, by transitioning from pipe processing, we also achieve high precision. At Advanex, we can accommodate various shapes through our unique manufacturing methods. Please refer to the attached photos for the shapes. 【Bulge Processing】 [Points] - Capable of processing bulge shapes in the middle section of tubular products. - Unlike conventional bulge forming, we can shape the bulge in the product's middle section using only molds. 【Giboshi Processing】 [Points] - Capable of processing with a necked shape (giboshi shape) at the tip. - By adding a neck to the product's tip, we can enhance the pull-out strength against vibrations. - Since the deep-drawn products are processed with giboshi, there are no seams in the product. 【Irregular Drawing】 [Points] - Through transfer drawing, we can achieve integrated forming from blanking to irregular drawing within a single mold. - Complex irregular shapes can also be formed within the mold. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

[Speaker] Mr. Takaki Miyazaki, President and CEO of NTT Circulast Corporation Director Ms. Saori Koga [Key Lecture Content] Resource circulation is becoming increasingly important from the perspectives of decarbonization and resource security, with rising expectations particularly for non-ferrous metals such as copper. However, there is a challenge in that the "flow of goods" supporting resource circulation and the "flow of information" conveying their value are disconnected, leading to insufficient communication of characteristics such as the origin of recycled materials and environmental impact, resulting in the circulation value not being properly recognized and evaluated in the market. In this lecture, we will introduce the background behind the establishment of NTT Circulast by NTT and Mitsubishi Materials, as well as the business concept that connects the flow of information and goods. Additionally, we will discuss future prospects for realizing a market where circulation value is chosen, taking into account trends in international standardization (ISO).

[Speaker] Mr. Kimihiro Horiuchi, President and CEO of Data Driven Consulting Inc. [Key Lecture Content] We are confident in the strategies created in collaboration with our internal elite and external consultants. However, we are not achieving the results we desire. Many companies facing such challenges share a common issue: a lack of execution power to realize their strategies. On the other hand, when we talk about increasing execution power, it involves complex factors such as sales, human resources, organization, and marketing, making it difficult to find effective solutions. In this lecture, we will introduce a method for building an organization with overwhelming execution power by thoroughly refining the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle, which should be practiced by everyone, aimed at business owners and middle management who are struggling with such concerns.
