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.

● To determine the sealing and waterproofing of sealed products based on pressure changes, it is not necessary to conduct tests that involve spraying water on the product or immersing it in water. ● Once the product is placed in a dedicated fixture within the inspection device, waterproofing can be quantitatively confirmed through automatic measurement. ● The target product size is W 300 × D 210 × H 100 mm or smaller. ● The target products include automotive cameras, smartphones, ECUs, small motors, and other packaging containers, and are effective for any products that require confirmation of sealing, waterproofing, and airtightness. ● For product specifications and details, please contact us.

In battery manufacturing lines, if components containing copper are used, there is a possibility that metal powder may mix in, dissolve, ionize, and pass through the separator, causing a malfunction that connects the positive and negative electrodes. Such minute metal powders may not be detected during pre-shipment inspections, and even if they are found, they can lead to various issues, such as the need to increase inspection processes to detect them. Therefore, Fukuda has developed a copper-free (all stainless steel) air leak tester that can be safely used in the production lines of battery manufacturers and secondary battery manufacturing equipment manufacturers.
