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.

The particle visualization technology developed under our brand "ViEST" has a very high level of detection sensitivity, capable of visualizing the suspended or adhered states of micro and nano-sized particles in real time. We are engaged in the sale of visualization systems and contract services for evaluation (investigating particles and airflow in production processes, inside and outside manufacturing equipment, evaluating the performance of cleaning products, proposing yield improvement measures, etc.) both domestically and internationally. In manufacturing environments, invisible fine foreign substances, dust generation, particle adhesion due to static electricity, and airflow disturbances can cause quality defects and reduced yield. Our company clarifies these contamination factors through visualization technology and provides consistent support from identifying the source of the problem to considering and confirming improvement measures. Do you have any of the following concerns? - Unable to identify the cause of foreign matter contamination - Want to check airflow and cleanliness in clean rooms - Want to understand dust generation from manufacturing equipment and transport systems - Want to reduce particle adhesion to films and substrates - Want to improve contamination that leads to reduced yield

We will introduce the modeling features that utilize drawings through "2D×3D integration," which allows for easy creation of 3D models from 2D drawings, as well as an efficient integration function that projects 3D assembly data onto assembly and part drawings in bulk, automatically generating 2D drawings. Additionally, you will be able to see through a live demo how seamlessly utilizing 2D and 3D can lead to improved design efficiency, reduced errors, and increased overall productivity in business operations. This content is recommended for those considering the introduction of CAD or feeling challenges in their current design work. We hope you will join us.

[Instructor] Koichi Sato, Representative Partner / Certified Social Insurance and Labor Consultant, HR Plus Social Insurance and Labor Consultant Corporation [Key Lecture Content] Recently, approximately 40% of the labor force consists of non-regular employees, and the declining birthrate is progressing due to insufficient income. In response, the government has been making successive legal revisions, including the indefinite conversion rule and the so-called "equal pay for equal work." Additionally, against the backdrop of a recent labor shortage, there has been an increase in cases of employing contractors and freelancers, which has raised the risk of disguised contracting due to inappropriate practices. This course will touch on the contents of the "Equal Pay for Equal Work Guidelines," which are scheduled to be revised in October this year, and will also organize the latest "current situation" for each employment category of non-regular employees.

In recent years, have you noticed an increase in corrective recommendations regarding "free storage of molds"? Cases where molds are stored for long periods without orders or where usage records cannot be confirmed are increasingly viewed as problematic from the perspective of the Subcontract Act (Act on the Proper Transaction of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises). In fact, many companies may feel uneasy about management situations such as "not knowing where they are" or "not knowing when they were last used." Therefore, we will hold a webinar to explain practical methods for managing loaned molds as a response to these corrective recommendations. ✅ Recommended for: - Those who feel uneasy about the management status of loaned molds - Those who want to strengthen operations in preparation for legal compliance (Subcontract Act) - Those who have challenges in establishing mold management rules with business partners - Those who want to visualize the location, usage history, and evidence management of molds In this webinar, we will not only introduce management methods but also clearly explain how to advance mold management at a practical operational level. Now is the perfect opportunity to prepare for risks while you still think "it's okay." If you have any interest, please join us.
