The "HACARUS Check," which achieves quality uniformity in appearance inspection, was featured in the April 30 issue of the Die Casting News.

Defects in complex-shaped castings and die-cast metal parts, which could only be inspected visually, can now be detected for abnormalities using AI inspection! Appearance inspection is possible with only good products.

■■■ Introduction case study video now available!! ■■■ The AI visual inspection system 'HACARUS Check' is an all-in-one package that automatically detects defects in complex-shaped workpieces such as die-cast and pressed products, utilizing "collaborative robots + cameras with lighting + high-performance AI." From image capture by the robot to OK/NG judgment by AI, we provide a one-stop solution. The video showcases a case study of a customer who struggled to secure visual inspectors and improved inspection accuracy through the introduction of HACARUS Check, reducing the number of inspectors by one-third. ■ 360-degree inspection The 6-axis robotic arm, illuminated ring lighting, and rotating lift platform work together to detect defects in hard-to-image areas. ■ Small quantity, good quality, fast learning Thanks to HACARUS's unique AI technology, there is no need to collect defective product data; high-precision AI can be quickly built from a small amount of good product data. ■ Easy installation Compact design, operates on 100V power supply. Overall dimensions: 1555mm × 740mm × 860mm (fixed with caster-equipped adjusters). *For more details, please visit the product special site below⬇︎

Usable on-site! HACARUS's "Small Quantity Quality Product Speed Learning" AI Visual Inspection Software

HACARUS Check AI software enables high-precision visual inspections using AI. Our uniquely developed "small quantity good product speed learning" AI does not require defective product data or a GPU. It excels in inspections that were difficult with traditional rule-based methods, such as for metal plates, rubber products, fabric materials, and leather materials, and can be used without any knowledge of AI. If you are struggling with visual inspections or have existing inspection equipment and are having trouble handling AI, please feel free to contact us. If you do not have an imaging device, we can provide suggestions. ■ Features - High precision results with a small amount of good product data: just a few dozen good product images are sufficient, with learning time of only a few minutes. - Understandable AI reasoning: the reasoning behind decisions can be explained, allowing for further application and development. - Fast and low power consumption: no GPU required, can be executed in your existing environment. <Software Pricing> First year: 3 million yen Subsequent years: 960,000 yen/year

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 without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be made even 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 a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

Introducing the Isofill series from ISOLITE Industries. Utilization of waste heat from high-temperature clean gases generated during waste material processing and recycling is possible.

Donaldson's process filters are also used in craft breweries. In fact, we spoke with a craft brewery in Kochi Prefecture that utilizes Donaldson's process filters. In this vol. 2, we present an interview format discussing the experience of using Donaldson's filter products.
