This is a friction cup specially designed to handle surfaces with oil adhesion.

The suction cup "OBF" for press lines is a specially designed friction cup that can handle surfaces with oil contamination, similar to sheet metal in metalworking processes. Normal wear of the friction cup does not affect long-term shear force performance. It is most suitable for sheet metal with press oil adhering at a rate of 0.1 g/m2 or more. 【Features】 ○ Capable of handling workpieces with uneven heights ○ Equipped with a G3/8" threaded fitting option that has a swivel function before the locking operation for easy positioning of the oval cup ○ The DURAFLEX suction cup, made from a specially developed material, combines the elasticity of rubber with the wear resistance of polyurethane For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

This is a suction cup designed specifically for surfaces coated with oil.

The "BFF" is a suction cup designed specifically for surfaces with oil, such as sheets in metal forming processes. The strong grip generated on oil-coated surfaces can withstand shear forces 2 to 4 times higher than conventional suction cups. The BFF-P design is suitable for uneven or curved surfaces, or when level correction is needed, such as in destacking applications. The uniform internal support provides stability regardless of orientation during movement. The DURAFLEX suction cup is made from a specially developed material that combines the elasticity of rubber with the wear resistance of polyurethane. This material does not leave marks on the workpiece. 【Features】 - A friction cup specially designed to accommodate oil-coated surfaces, such as sheet metal in metal processing. - Normal wear of the friction cup does not affect long-term shear force performance.

On September 11, 2025, AC Tasarim, a cable blade manufacturer, and our company signed a sales agency agreement for Japan. This was also announced in the company's press release and on social media. Founded in Turkey in 2003, AC Tasarim manufactures flexible EMI cable shields (copper braid), polyester braid, meta-aramid braid (Nomex cable sleeves), flat copper braid busbars/ground braids, all AA59569-coded copper braids, and released AeroBraid in 2025, the world's lightest EMI braid. All manufactured copper braids are certified to military standards. AC Tasarim products hold key certifications including VDE/VG certification, German Federal Armed Forces certification, NATO NSN coding, AS9100 quality certification, and JOSCAR certification. Cable braids and EMI shielding products, essential for wire harnesses in the aerospace and defense industries, are becoming increasingly difficult to source as demand rises. TC Tasarim products are stocked by manufacturers and distributors to ensure quick response times.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

Adopted for a project on the promotion, demonstration, and commercialization of advanced wastewater treatment facilities using the Indian national rotary fiber unit, a pilot plant with a capacity of 1000 m³/day will be constructed within a wastewater treatment facility in Bengaluru, South India. Verification will be conducted for one year starting from June 1, 2023, and will conclude on May 31, 2024. Throughout the year, all of India's stringent discharge standards will be met, and a wastewater treatment manual will be created and promoted in India.

The "HM-S6" is an embedded park sensor that detects vehicles through changes in magnetic flux and can respond to various situations from passing to stationary. It can be used for the opening and closing of the input doors at waste treatment plants, as well as for gates where vehicles pass and in outdoor parking applications. It can also be installed on rebar and steel plates. 【Features】 - Resistant to the effects of natural environments such as rain, snow, temperature changes, and geomagnetism. - Protection rating IP68 reduces the risk of water ingress. - Ten times the load capacity compared to conventional embedded park sensors (according to our comparison). - Can distinguish between vehicles even when they pass continuously, one by one. - Can be installed on rebar and steel plates. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
