[Technical Data Presentation] Introducing the award-winning technology of the 2022-2023 MF Technology Awards!

Contributes to a 35% cost reduction compared to conventional methods! Developed a unique method! Can be manufactured using only press and rotary grinding!

We would like to introduce a case where processing was achieved at "1/16th" of the limits of press processing. This product is made of thick plate and is designed with large cutouts on the outer circumference due to space constraints, with a thickness of 1mm at the cutout section for an 8mm thick plate. Previously, machining was necessary, but we developed a unique method that allows for production using only pressing and rotary grinding, contributing to a 35% cost reduction compared to conventional methods. [Results] - By enabling processing with only pressing and rotary grinding, we contributed to a 35% cost reduction compared to conventional methods. - The inner diameter meets almost all shear surface requirements (customer requirement is over 70% shear surface). - Taper processing for hole entry, which is difficult without machining, is also handled by pressing. - Three linear beads (linear protrusions) with an inner diameter of R0.25 are also processed by pressing. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The world's highest award for press, sheet metal, and forming machines! Achieving one-sixteenth of the limits of press processing.

The "MF Technology Award" is the highest award in the world for press, sheet metal, and forming machines, organized by the Japan Forging Machinery Manufacturers Association. It combines essential elements of metal forming (MF), such as forging machines, product processing, and research. This document provides a detailed introduction to the awarded technology. By constraining the product's shape with UL presses and processing with zero clearance molds, we achieved processing without causing any deformation even with a plate thickness of 8mm, and without any damage to the molds. Please feel free to download and take a look.

Are you making progress on measures for the "2024 Problem"? With stricter management of drivers' working hours, reducing "waiting time" has become an urgent issue in the logistics field. To address this challenge, our company, Hotron, proposes the "Vehicle Detection Ultrasonic Sensor 'HM-UX2'," which instantly grasps the availability of loading bays. The 'HM-UX2' contributes to the resolution of waiting times by accurately understanding the availability situation, reducing unnecessary waiting and queueing, and shortening waiting times to alleviate the burden on drivers! By replacing the "eyes" of your loading bay management with this high-precision sensor, why not start addressing the "2024 Problem"? Take a look at the product features: "Can it accurately detect availability?" "Can we really use it in our company?" "I just want to know the cost, even if it's an estimate." If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to consult with us.
