Notice of Participation in the 8th Railway Technology Exhibition 2023

[Free Sample Available] A heating material made by turning a new carbon nanotube (CNT) material into paint and applying a thin film coating.

Unlike planar heating elements made from metallic materials such as nichrome wire, this is a material that heats uniformly across its entire surface. HEATNEX uses CNT as a resistive element and prints it onto a film, achieving a flexible heating material. By adjusting the transparency, it can be made close to transparent and can also accommodate specifications that allow light to pass through. 【Features】 ■ A flexible heating material that can heat uniformly across its entire surface. ■ Heats efficiently through heat conduction and far-infrared radiation. ■ Excellent thermal conductivity and thermal radiation, allowing for instant heating and cooling. ■ It is possible to create a lightweight planar heating element by forming electrodes with conductive paste, etc. ■ Capable of emitting about five times more far-infrared radiation than metallic heating elements. *Evaluation results are based on internal comparisons. 【Newly Developed Products】 High-Temperature Compatible Products - Heat Resistance: 200℃ (Standard Product: 80℃) Using polyimide as the substrate, it can heat at higher temperatures compared to standard products. Low-Voltage Compatible Products - Heat Resistance: 80℃ - Surface Resistivity: 30Ω/□ (Standard Product: 150Ω/□) It can be used at low voltage, making it widely applicable. *For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

[New Product] Ideal i-Sert for reinforcing female threads in resin substrates!

This is an insert nut suitable for reinforcing the internal threads of resin substrates. It features a self-tapping function, eliminating the need for tapping and enhancing workability. With stop holes at both ends, it can be inserted from either direction without orientation. Additionally, the chips generated during insertion are completely collected by the stop holes, so there is no need for removal. It has threads on the inner diameter side, making it ideal for reinforcing the threads of substrates with low strength.

Certified by the Japan Architecture Center! Just attach it to the installed nut to effectively prevent loosening and falling off of bolts and nuts!

It is significantly more effective than double nut loosening prevention measures and can reduce maintenance inspection processes. It also contributes to approximately 40% weight reduction. It can be easily installed using commercially available socket wrenches. It has passed tests using an impact-type vibration testing machine compliant with NAS3350 standards. The sizes range from M4 to M24. 【Product Features】 ○ Products conforming to the Japan Building Center evaluation (BCJ evaluation - LS0107-01, applicable to M12). ○ The loosening prevention performance of LockOne has been proven in tests using an impact-type vibration testing machine compliant with NAS3350 standards. ○ Lineup from M4 to M24. ○ Can be installed with commercially available 12-point socket wrenches. ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

Significantly reduce work time by one-third without removing the tang. Trial kits are also available in the lineup.

The "Tangless Insert" is a female thread reinforcement that can be inserted without a tang using a special tool. Since the insert has no directional orientation, it can be inserted from either side. There is no need to break off or search for the tang after insertion, which reduces the work time to about one-third compared to conventional products, thereby improving work efficiency. 【Features】 ■ No skilled expertise required. Anyone can easily perform the task. ■ Minimal damage to the female thread during extraction. ■ Both manual and automatic extraction of the insert are possible. ■ A kit that includes manual insertion tools, drills, and taps is also available (3 products: M4/M5/M6). *For more details, please refer to the documentation. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

Achieve cost reduction and weight reduction! With deep drawing processing, a production efficiency increase of up to 4 times is possible.

We propose value-added solutions by transitioning products that were traditionally processed through cutting or pipe processing to deep drawing processing. By converting from cutting processes, we achieve not only cost reduction but also weight reduction. Furthermore, by transitioning from pipe processing, we also achieve high precision. At Advanex, we can accommodate various shapes through our unique manufacturing methods. Please refer to the attached photos for the shapes. 【Bulge Processing】 [Points] - Capable of processing bulge shapes in the middle section of tubular products. - Unlike conventional bulge forming, we can shape the bulge in the product's middle section using only molds. 【Giboshi Processing】 [Points] - Capable of processing with a necked shape (giboshi shape) at the tip. - By adding a neck to the product's tip, we can enhance the pull-out strength against vibrations. - Since the deep-drawn products are processed with giboshi, there are no seams in the product. 【Irregular Drawing】 [Points] - Through transfer drawing, we can achieve integrated forming from blanking to irregular drawing within a single mold. - Complex irregular shapes can also be formed within the mold. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

It is achieved by insert molding high-precision products that are difficult to handle with assembly processes such as press fitting and welding.

At Advanex, we possess all the technologies from press processing to injection molding and carry out production on a consistent line. We have injection molding machines ranging from 40 to 100 tons, capable of processing products from very small to medium-sized. We can design and manufacture everything in-house, from press molds to injection molds and automatic machines. This allows us to aim for reduced assembly man-hours, miniaturization, slimness, and high precision, while also proposing the best component designs for our customers. Additionally, we can also accommodate insert molding in the Dongguan area of China.
