We will be exhibiting at EE Tohoku '23 starting tomorrow!

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.

[Instructor] Hiroto Hayashi, Attorney at Law, New York State, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto Law Firm, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] Recently, batteries are expected to serve as a balancing power source for the realization of renewable energy as a primary power source. Due to changes in the business environment brought about by market development and government support measures, opportunities in the battery business are expanding. For grid-connected batteries, there are multiple options for long-term decarbonization power source auctions, tolling models, and merchant models, and the points of project development vary depending on the offtake method. Additionally, with the spread of the FIP system, the installation of batteries alongside renewable energy generation facilities is also progressing. In this lecture, we will explain the systems related to batteries, as well as key points for contract creation and negotiation, and financing necessary to steadily advance projects. We will also outline the challenges and prospects for project development and project finance formation according to each offtake scheme.

[Lecturer] Hideo Yamada, Ph.D. Honorary Professor, Waseda University Visiting Professor, Business Breakthrough University Graduate School [Key Lecture Content] Companies face various trade-offs (dilemmas) such as quality vs. cost, inventory levels vs. service levels, and standardization vs. differentiation. Traditionally, companies have responded to trade-offs by (1) finding a balance or (2) prioritizing one over the other. However, this does not lead to fundamental solutions. In this lecture, I will propose a third method that is neither balancing nor prioritizing. Using case studies from over 50 Japanese companies, I will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner. If we can turn long-standing trade-offs into trade-ons (coexistence), business opportunities will arise. [Lecture Topics] 1. What is a trade-off? 2. Trade-offs between customers and companies 3. Trade-offs within companies 4. Trade-offs within customers 5. How to turn trade-offs into trade-ons 6. Steps for exploration 7. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Lecturers] Corporate Partner, Nishimura & Asahi Law Office Osaka, Mr. Satoshi Niki Associate, Nishimura & Asahi Law Office - Foreign Law Joint Enterprise, Mr. Shu Numazawa [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the diversification of defense cooperation and advancements in dual-use technology have significantly changed the management and international sharing of advanced technologies. This lecture will clarify the basic structure of Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement and the significance of "similar treatment," while explaining the institutional transformation brought about by the introduction of the non-public patent application system under the Economic Security Promotion Act. Furthermore, considering the relationship between this system and the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement, we will examine how to reposition the patent applications and secrecy management of defense-related technologies within the context of expanding international joint research and multilateral defense cooperation. [Lecture Items] 1. Diversification of defense cooperation and advancements in dual-use technology 2. Basic structure of Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement 3. Practical application of "similar treatment" 4. Introduction of the non-public patent system (Economic Security Promotion Act) 5. Relationship between the non-public patent system and Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement 6. Expansion of international joint research and reevaluation of Article 3 7.
