Quickly detect abnormalities in the manufacturing site and respond swiftly with accurate understanding of the causes!

Using the piezoelectric load sensor "PiezoBolt," we measure loads and analyze phenomena occurring at "processing points" that were previously unseen. Based on the analysis results, we identify precursors to the occurrence of defective products and implement countermeasures against defects. This solution addresses various challenges in the production site, including equipment maintenance and anomaly detection. 【Monitoring Examples in Forging】 ■ Detection of mold cracks ■ Prediction of punch wear and lifespan ■ Evaluation of lubricating oil 【Monitoring Examples in Press Forming】 ■ Detection of punch breakage ■ Prediction of foreign object embedding ■ Detection of scrap accumulation ■ Equipment maintenance for press machines 【Monitoring Examples in Cutting】 ■ Detection of cutting tool defects 【Monitoring Examples in Casting】 ■ Detection of abnormalities in casting formation *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Visualizing processing points! Load sensors that enable real-time anomaly detection.

PiezoBolt is a load sensor that incorporates a piezoelectric sensor unit embedded within a bolt that meets JIS standards. By utilizing the piezoelectric effect, which generates voltage when force (pressure) is applied, it is capable of measuring minute changes in load. When combined with a measurement system, it enables real-time monitoring of equipment and tools, as well as anomaly detection. ◎ High Sensitivity Excellent responsiveness, allowing for highly sensitive measurements. ◎ Ease of Use Compliant with JIS standard bolt sizes, it can be installed directly in place of existing bolts for measurement. ◎ Durability With a dust and water protection rating equivalent to IP65, it can be used up to 80°C. A high-performance sensor suitable for mass production environments. ◎ Flexibility The piezoelectric element responds to axial forces, detecting changes not only in compression but also in tension.

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 causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out even 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.

SPACECOOL Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that it will exhibit at the "Japan Pavilion" established by the Ministry of the Environment at the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30), which will be held in Belém, Brazil, from November 10, 2025. "SPACECOOL" is a radiative cooling material that enables zero-energy cooling by dissipating heat into space. At our exhibition booth, we will showcase examples of its use not only in reducing air conditioning energy in buildings but also in heat mitigation measures (adaptation strategies) for tents and parasols. The Japan Pavilion aims to promote excellent technologies, products, and services that support global decarbonization and adaptation to climate change, and to achieve Japan's long-term climate change goal of "net zero by 2050." We believe that our participation plays an important role in this endeavor. Through this exhibition, we aim to accelerate our initiatives with local partners in regions severely affected by heat issues, such as the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as Southeast Asia, contributing to global decarbonization and climate change measures.
