◆Yoshida SKT Co., Ltd.◆ NEW "What is the method to reduce the release resistance of ejector pins? Countermeasures through surface treatment" has been published.

Solve ejector pin troubles with surface treatment technology! Easy demolding even with soft resins that are less likely to stick.

■What is an ejector pin? Also known as a push-out pin, it is a pin incorporated into a mold to push out and remove molded products from the mold. Ejector pins are used in most injection molding molds and come in various shapes, materials, and sizes. It is important to choose the appropriate pin for demolding based on combinations of shapes such as round pins, square pins, and middle flange pins, as well as materials like SKD-61 and SKH-51. ■Methods to reduce the demolding resistance of ejector pins To reduce the demolding resistance of ejector pins, methods include mold design, pin arrangement and shape selection, and reviewing molding conditions. However, in cases of materials that tend to stick or soft resins, sticking can lead to demolding failures. In such cases, it is necessary to consider utilizing surface treatment technologies. ■Surface treatments to improve the demoldability of ejector pins Ejector pins need to protrude from the mold, so they require not only demoldability but also wear resistance and dimensional stability. Yoshida SKT's Bicoat has a proven track record of achieving smooth demolding when applied to ejector pins. For more details on Bicoat, please download the catalog and check.

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 on 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 a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

We are pleased to announce that our company will be exhibiting at the "Monozukuri Fair 2025" held in Fukuoka. ECAD is a dedicated CAD solution for electrical design, equipped with a wealth of features for control design and power distribution panel design, developed for domestic electrical designers over the past 40 years. It addresses challenges such as improving design quality, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing labor. At the venue, we will introduce the "Panel Manufacturing Skill-less Solution," which utilizes the panel manufacturing support system "WIRE CAM DX" to create pre-manufacturing information as a solution to the labor shortage issues in panel manufacturing that have traditionally required skilled workers. This enables less experienced operators to achieve high-quality manufacturing in processes such as wire processing, component assembly, and wiring work. We invite you to visit our exhibition booth. ■ Exhibition Name: Monozukuri Fair 2025 ■ Location: Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A & B ■ Booth Number: Hall B BN-9 ■ Dates: October 15 (Thursday) to October 17 (Saturday), 2025 (3 days) ■ Hours: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (last day until 4:00 PM) *For more information about the exhibited products, please download the materials.
