We will exhibit a demo unit of our Nabtesco Service automatic coupler (auto connector) at the "Monozukuri Fair 2024."

Automate the loading or unloading of slurries, powders, etc. into tanks! A cleaning function can also be equipped with the connector. Complete design and manufacturing of the equipment.

In battery manufacturing lines, such as mixing processes, battery material production processes, and semiconductor material production processes, there are tasks that involve loading powders or slurries into tanks or containers and connecting pipes for discharge. By introducing automatic connection devices (auto connectors, auto couplers, auto joints), these tasks can be automated. We have a proven track record with ultra-fine powders like silica and larger powders such as pellets. Additionally, we have experience with high-viscosity slurries. For connectors not available in our lineup, we can design and manufacture them custom-made to meet customer specifications. We can also propose connectors equipped with various functions (joints, piping). Not only individual connectors, but we can design and manufacture complete automatic connection devices (auto connectors, auto couplers, auto joints) that include control panels, control systems, and drives. Automatic cleaning functions, position misalignment correction mechanisms, and locking mechanisms can also be incorporated. Please feel free to consult us first.

• Other industrial robots

Of course, hydraulic, air, electricity, as well as toothpaste, powder pellets, chocolate, vacuum, alcohol, and more! We achieve piping connections and switches in various industries.

Using auto connectors (auto couplers, auto joints) leads to: - Increased productivity... Automation and reduced setup time enhance production efficiency. - Realization of FMS... Remote operation becomes possible. - Improved safety... There is no need to approach dangerous areas. - Improved safety 2... Automation of switching piping lines for hazardous materials (such as hot water and hydrochloric acid) enhances worker safety by eliminating dangerous tasks. - Environmental improvement... Work in high-temperature, high-humidity, or dirty areas is eliminated. - Enhanced reliability... Prevents incomplete connections and human errors. - Energy savings... There is almost no external leakage during connection and disconnection. - Factory cleanliness... Hoses and wires do not get tangled, and floors are not contaminated with oil or water. Nabtesco Service has accumulated over 50 years of know-how in automatic connection and disconnection (piping and wiring). We have addressed issues such as misalignment during connection, response to reaction forces, handling of special liquids and powders, automation of production lines where metal (ions) leaching is undesirable, and automatic connection and disconnection of high currents. We have confidently provided custom solutions for special environments! If you have any concerns about automation, please feel free to consult us.

• Other process controls

Improving production efficiency with auto connectors! Eliminating dangerous work! Eradicating connection mistakes!

During the mold exchange of injection molding machines that manufacture plastic products and press machines commonly used in the automotive industry, the manual tasks of connecting and disconnecting hydraulic, air, vacuum, and electrical systems can be automated using auto connectors. The coupler itself has an eccentric mechanism with a radius of 1.5mm (for standard products), making installation easy. If a larger eccentricity is required, we can design and manufacture the entire system to accommodate that need.

We have added a new **"Glossary"** to the Hyper CLT sheet website. In the civil engineering and construction industries, there are many specialized terms such as "CLT," "NETIS," "temporary roads," and "wooden lightweight sheets." Therefore, we have introduced related terms in an easy-to-understand manner so that those who are encountering Hyper CLT sheets for the first time can understand the products and technologies. Hyper CLT sheets are wooden lightweight sheets for civil engineering that utilize wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology as **"TH-250021-A."** We hope that by not only conveying the features of the product but also sharing the underlying technologies and terminology, users will feel a closer connection to Hyper CLT sheets. We will continue to enhance our website and provide clear information related to wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

On September 15, 2026, we issued a press release regarding the wooden lightweight sheet "Hyper CLT Sheet." The Hyper CLT Sheet is a civil engineering sheet that utilizes CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) stacked in an orthogonal direction. It can be used in various locations such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 version weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers environmental benefits such as reducing glare and metallic sounds typical of wood, as well as CO2 fixation. Furthermore, it can be proposed for the use of new technologies in public works as a **registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism "TH-250021-A."** Through this press release, we aim to expand the new wooden lightweight sheet that combines wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT to more construction sites.

● 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.

The "HA-T Series" is an energy-saving automatic door sensor that opens only for those who wish to enter, whether on a busy street or in a narrow passageway. The automatic door opens simply by bringing your hand close, addressing hygiene concerns even in facilities used by a large number of people. You can choose between "Non-vision Mount Type/HA-T401" and "Non-vision Built-in Type/HA-T520" depending on the application and installation location. 【Recommended for such places!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy corridor ☑ Presence of counters or signs near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow passages ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors 【Features】 ● Adaptable to various door types with four detection spot settings ● Reduces unnecessary opening and closing, contributing to energy-saving by minimizing wasteful power consumption ● Equipped with a light touch function, allowing the door to open and close just by waving your hand, ensuring hygiene ● Can also be used as a wide detection range non-vision infrared sensor ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
