An evolved hydraulic tensioner that overcomes the challenges of conventional tensioners, such as "too heavy," "does not fit in narrow spaces," and "oil leaks with repeated use."

The hydraulic bolt tensioner "Boltight," a member of the Nord-Lock Group, was born as an evolved version re-invented by the engineer Fred Heaton, who originally developed the tensioner, to address the challenges faced by the tensioner itself. These challenges include common disadvantages of hydraulic tools like tensioners, such as being "too heavy and difficult to work with," "leaking oil after repeated use," and "not being able to be installed in tight spaces." All of Boltight's tensioners have been significantly lightened to the extreme, utilizing in-house developed bridges and seals to reduce the weight of the tensioner. Additionally, the durability for repeated use has greatly improved through technologies such as in-house developed seals. Furthermore, we can flexibly customize the shape and size for areas where space constraints prevent standard applications, delivering them with the same lead time as standard products.

Can be used as a replacement for existing pins. It significantly reduces maintenance costs for equipment and is an innovative pin product that can be used universally in any moving part.

Wear occurring in movable parts is a major enemy of low-cost operation, as it requires regular maintenance such as bush replacement and pin hole repair. For equipment manufacturers, it is an issue that cannot be overlooked, as it increases maintenance costs, which are a quality indicator of the machine, and shortens product lifespan. For machine users, it leads to chronic problems of high maintenance costs and downtime. The advantage of the Expander System is that it can be used semi-permanently and completely prevents wear in movable parts, eliminating the need to replace bushes like consumables. In movable parts that do not use bushes, it can eliminate oval deformation. The secret lies in the fact that after installation, the pin's axis expands in a way that completely seals the gaps inside the pin hole. The Expander System is already widely adopted by top construction equipment manufacturers, including Japanese companies, and has passed a continuous practical durability test of 60,000 hours without any loss of functionality at Volvo Construction Equipment. It comes with a lifetime warranty, guaranteeing the product's functionality until the first removal. *For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us.

No allowance for loosening, securely maintain axial force! Physically prevent loosening of bolts/nuts.

This catalog introduces the "Nord-Lock Washer," which utilizes wedge-locking technology to prevent bolt loosening "physically" without relying on friction. We offer a lineup that includes the "Nord-Lock X Series Washers," which simultaneously prevent two types of loosening, and the "Nord-Lock SC Washers," designed for high-strength bolts used in construction. Additionally, we provide information on why bolts loosen and feature the Nord-Lock customer magazine.

An innovative product that can tighten huge bolts and nuts that cannot be tightened by human strength with just one torque wrench.

A mechanical bolt tensioner developed in 1984 at the request of US Steel, the largest steel company in the United States. By distributing the enormous torque required to tighten large-diameter bolts into smaller torque, it dramatically improves work safety. It also achieves remarkably accurate fastening force, allowing for work in high and confined spaces without issues. The use of electric tools and air tools further reduces work time, dramatically shortening downtime caused by operations and enabling low-cost operations. 【Features】 ■ Incredible axial force accuracy due to patented structure (over three times the accuracy of conventional methods) ■ Large-diameter bolts can be fastened with just one torque wrench ■ Does not depend on the skill of the operator, ensuring accurate fastening force regardless of who performs the work ■ Exceptional axial force stability prevents loosening even under intense vibrations ■ Strong against loosening that does not involve reverse rotation during thermal cycles, thanks to elastic fastening ■ Usable without issues in confined and elevated spaces *For details, please refer to the catalog or contact Nord-Lock Japan. *Beware of imitation products that resemble the appearance. They do not have equivalent functions due to patented technology. Nord-Lock Japan also provides various technical support. Please feel free to consult us.

We will be exhibiting at FOOD Exhibition 2025, which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from October 15 to 17, 2025. *The exhibition will take place within the booth of our partner company, Anritsu Corporation. We plan to showcase the taste recognition device TS-6000A on that day. Details are as follows: ◆ Event Details ・Date: October 15 (Wednesday) to 17 (Friday), 2025, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM ・Venue: Tokyo Big Sight, East Hall ・Booth Number: To be determined (exhibiting at Anritsu Corporation's booth) ・Exhibition Content: Display and demonstration of the TS-6000A ・Official Website: https://www.food-exhibition.info/

This is a seminar hosted by our company that takes place every October. This year, three speakers will give presentations on the use of taste sensors and measurement examples. It has been decided to hold it on October 3rd. This year, it will also be held online (Zoom webinar). As soon as the details are finalized (around mid-September), we will announce the overview and open registration on our company website.

In the manufacturing and infrastructure industries, many on-site tasks such as maintenance, inspection, and testing still rely heavily on paper forms and manual data entry, with many sites not progressing in the digitalization and centralization of information. As a result, challenges such as "inability to grasp the on-site situation in real-time," "data being dispersed and not usable for analysis," and "input errors and omissions in forms" have become apparent. This webinar will introduce how to achieve digital transformation (DX) of on-site operations by rapidly building smartphone business applications using Asteria's no-code tool "Platio," and combining it with Morpho AI Solutions' AI-OCR, image analysis, and LLM technologies for the digitalization and automatic analysis of inspection sheets, photos, and reports. It is tailored for representatives of manufacturing and infrastructure-related companies who want to fundamentally change their on-site operations, escape from an analog culture, but find large-scale system implementation challenging.

We will be exhibiting at the "JASIS," a comprehensive exhibition of analytical and scientific instruments, to be held at Makuhari Messe from September 3 to 5, 2025. *The exhibition will take place within the booth of our sales agent, Irie Co., Ltd. On that day, we will showcase the taste recognition device TS-6000A. Details are as follows: ◆ Event Details ・Date: September 3 (Wednesday) to 5 (Friday), 2025, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM ・Venue: Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall (Exhibition Hall 5) ・Booth Number: 5B-501 (Exhibiting at Irie Co., Ltd. booth) ・Exhibition Content: Display and demonstration of the TS-6000A ・Official Website: https://www.jasis.jp/

The challenges of inefficiency and dependency on specific individuals in the document management tasks faced by many companies. Are manual errors and business stagnation becoming barriers to productivity improvement? In this seminar, we will introduce advanced approaches to visualizing management decisions using AI and automating and streamlining document management tasks, centered around SCSK Corporation's AI-native next-generation ERP "PROACTIVE," Asteria Corporation's no-code data integration tool "ASTERIA Warp," and Kokuyo Corporation's electronic document distribution system "@Tovas." We will also explain business flows that achieve depersonalization while presenting examples of automated business flows realized through solution integration.
