Detects abnormal temperatures in industrial equipment, cuts off the power circuit, and prevents equipment damage and fires in advance. 3. Allows for continuous daily monitoring of abnormal temperatures in factory industrial equipment, ensuring reliable and safe maintenance management. 4. Can cut off the power circuit at abnormal temperatures regardless of the main power capacity (load capacity). 5. An eco-friendly abnormal temperature monitoring panel with zero standby power. The electrical circuit configuration is simple and cost-effective. 6. Can be installed in factory industrial machinery and equipment, serving as safety management equipment during ISO updates. ■Features of the Temperature Detection Sensor 1. Combines and integrates shape memory alloy with electrical wires, using the softening of the wire and the restoration of the shape memory alloy to detect temperature by short-circuiting (contacting) the two wire cores, generating a signal. The set temperature is the maximum allowable temperature of the wire (60°C, 75°C). 2. Simple, easy, and accurate, with a switching function that utilizes eco-friendly technology with zero standby power. 3. The shape memory alloy has permanent memory, is rust-free, and retains its function indefinitely once activated. 4. Operates through a physical action that requires no power, ensuring no malfunction and allowing for swift, precise use over many years. 5. Non-resettable, allowing for confirmation after activation.

New product of temperature sensing wire integrated with multiple temperature memory sensors.

■Features of Temperature Sensing Wire 1. Direct temperature sensing and signal generation through physical operation without the need for power supply or measuring instruments. 2. When the surrounding temperature reaches the set temperature (80°C), the two wires short-circuit to sense the temperature and generate a signal. 3. Various abnormal temperatures can be monitored collectively on a daily basis, ensuring reliable and safe maintenance management. 4. Early detection of abnormal temperatures in various devices can prevent equipment damage and fires. 5. By simply extending the wiring, a wide range of abnormal temperature monitoring can be achieved. 6. Wiring similar to that of electrical equipment can be done, and it can be used for both indoor and outdoor wiring. 7. This product integrates numerous shape memory alloys at regular intervals along the extended wire. 8. Utilizing the softening of the wire and the recovery of the shape memory alloy, it senses temperature by short-circuiting the two wires and generates a signal. 9. It is a simple, easy, and accurate eco-technology product with zero standby power due to its switching function. 10. The shape memory alloy has permanent memory, is rust-free, and retains its state indefinitely once activated, allowing for long-term use. 11. This product meets the performance standards of fixed temperature type detectors (120 seconds) as specified by fire safety regulations. 12. It is a non-resettable type that allows for confirmation after activation. (Once activated, it cannot be reactivated. The activated location can be deleted and reconnected.)

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repairs without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made 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 or download the catalog.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

Nitto Kōsaku Co., Ltd. (Osaka) is a comprehensive manufacturing company that supports production through "jig expertise × precision machining." [Reasons Why Jigs Are Necessary | Limitations of Manual Work and Variability in Quality] In the previous discussion, we introduced the basic definition of "jigs." This time, we will explain the background of the necessity for jigs, focusing on the "limitations of manual work," using relatable examples. ☆ When Undertaking the Job of Sharpening Pencils At our company, we explain the concept of "jigs" in an easy-to-understand manner using familiar examples during lectures and presentations. For instance, let's say we take on the job of sharpening pencils from a certain company. If this is done manually with a knife, there will be variations in the angle of sharpening, the length of the lead, and the finished shape depending on the worker. There will also be differences in the time taken to complete the work, leading to challenges in standardizing quality and improving production efficiency. To stabilize "work that is influenced by human skill," jigs are necessary. By using jigs, anyone can process the pencils at the same position and angle, enabling stable production with reduced variability in quality. Our company leverages this concept of jig creation to engage in precision machining, prototype production, and the design and manufacturing of dedicated machines. To be continued.
