Automating and streamlining the work of attaching and detaching pipes! [Case study collection available]

Our company designs and manufactures "Auto Connectors (automatic attachment and detachment devices)," "Auto Couplers," and "automatic piping switching devices" to automate the attachment and detachment of piping and electrical wiring for liquids, slurries, and powders. We contribute to the automation of factories, increased productivity, and improved safety for workers. Regardless of whether it is fluids or powders, we offer custom design and manufacturing from individual couplers to entire systems based on customer requirements. ■ Case Study Collection Available We provide a "case study collection" summarizing examples from the following industries: chemicals, pharmaceuticals, daily necessities, food, beverages, automotive, industrial machinery, and steelmaking. ■ New Product Launch (Patent Pending) A new case for "Quitto," which will be launched at the end of 2024, has been added. This groundbreaking new product can shorten the attachment and detachment time of the helical clamp to just a few seconds. It can be done easily by anyone with one hand. The risk of dropping the gasket during connection is also minimized. We encourage you to try it out. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. *Demo units and cut models of the products are also available.

Automatically feeds powder, slurry, or liquid into containers moving on conveyors, AGVs, AMRs, forklifts, etc., and also discharges them. Of course, it can also accommodate tanks and flexible containers. We design and manufacture not only the connector part but the entire attachment device as a custom solution. We can also support automatic feeding and discharging of metal powders. Installation in explosion-proof plants and making contact parts chlorine-free and compatible with PTFE is also possible. We will design from scratch according to the user's application. Automatic feeding of powder Automatic discharging and discharge of powder Want to automate the feeding and discharging of raw materials And more Please consult us first.

• Pipe Fittings

Automation and unmanned operation for production in mobile tank plants! Automating dispensing, loading tasks, and connecting and disconnecting motor power supply. Also compatible with powders!

By using an automatic disconnecting device (auto connector, auto coupler, auto joint), the following disconnecting tasks can be automated at plants with mobile tanks, mobile containers, and mobile vessels: - Loading of raw materials (powder, slurry, liquid) at each station - Connecting and disconnecting power at mixers and reaction stations - Connecting and disconnecting hydraulic and air systems at heating stations, etc. - Discharging of products It is also compatible with powders, slurries, and liquids. In addition to power and materials, the connection and disconnection of N2 gas and air for pressurization can also be automated.

• Other industrial robots

A must-see for those struggling with manual pipe switching!

By driving a unit equipped with an automatic attachment/detachment connector (coupler) in the X and Y directions, it connects to any piping. - Physically disconnecting the piping allows for connections at necessary points, eliminating cross-contamination due to internal leaks. - Since there is no concern about cross-contamination, preventive maintenance like that required for automatic valves or valve blocks is unnecessary, leading to reduced running costs. - The ability to connect/switch in a single stroke reduces product loss, cleaning solutions, and waste liquids, contributing to the SDGs! - Compared to automatic valves and valve blocks, production constraints are eliminated. - A pigging system can also be installed, making it suitable for high-viscosity liquid systems, along with an inline flow meter for metering and dosing equipment! - There is a wealth of experience in switching processes for powders, hydrochloric acid, high-viscosity liquids, chemicals, and more!

Fukuda Co., Ltd. has been pursuing leak detection for 60 years and is committed to advancing the future of leak testing. 【 Supporting Various Leak Tests: Air Leak Test / Gas Leak Test (Hydrogen Gas, Helium Gas) 】 We develop, manufacture, and sell leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing properties. We will propose the appropriate testers and devices for each inspection target. 【 Target Industries and Examples of Inspection Targets 】 - Automotive Industry: Engines, FC components, valves and piping, various parts - Electronic Components Industry: Smartphones, keyless switches, various small sensors - Pharmaceuticals / Food / Cosmetics Industry: Bottle containers, syringes, vials, eye drop containers, pillow packaging, PTP packaging We will propose the most suitable leak testers for each industry. 【 ISO Certification 】JIS Q 9001:2015 (ISO 9001:2015)

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

The inspection targets of the "MSX-7003 series" are relatively large electronic devices. 【Inspection Targets】 - LED - Optical devices - High-frequency devices - Power semiconductors - IR sensors - Gyro sensors - Angular velocity sensors - Electrolytic capacitors, etc. The transport system is designed based on "pallet to pallet" to accommodate various types of work. The following three processes are performed automatically by the airtight inspection device: - Helium bombarding - Gross leak test - Fine leak test For packaged products smaller than 10 mm on each side, the work is set up using pallets or trays, followed by helium bombarding ↓ Then transported to the leak test process through high-speed handling ↓ Going through a continuous process from the gross leak test to the fine leak test ↓ And finally, discharged onto a pallet through high-speed handling. It also supports inline operations (the height of the pass line is 940 mm). Please watch the YouTube video from the link below.

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. For product specifications and details, please refer to the "Related Product Information" and "Related Catalogs" below.

● 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.
