Dressing Effect of Grinding Wheels: Achieving dressing of the grinding wheel on the work surface through ultra-high pressure discharge while grinding.

Significantly reduces the number of diamond dressings for grinding wheels in grinding processes due to high-pressure discharge. High-pressure discharge ⇒ Removal of clogging ⇒ Reduction in dressing frequency ◎ Discharging behind the grinding point allows for processing without interruption. ◎ Changes in grinding wheel diameter are minimized, reducing dimensional corrections. ※※ Dressing effect of grinding wheels with ultra-high-pressure coolant ※※ With HPR dressing, the diamond dressing that was previously performed every 140 workpieces is no longer necessary until exceeding 2000 workpieces.

Achieving innovative high-efficiency production with a high-pressure breaker! ~ Winner of the Precision Engineering Society's First Manufacturing Award - Grand Prize ~

The ultra-high-pressure water breaker cutting method achieves revolutionary high-efficiency cutting processing, significantly reducing processing time and energy consumption. Tokupi Manufacturing proposes a "new cutting method" in manufacturing using high-pressure pumps as a manufacturer of high-pressure plunger pumps. While it is common to enhance the cooling and chip removal properties of coolant, this new cutting method differs from conventional high-pressure coolants by using the injection force of ultra-high-pressure coolant (7MPa to 30MPa) to accelerate chip breakage in areas where chip fragmentation (cutting) is not possible, thereby reducing tool heating and improving cutting speed. Currently, chip breakage using chip breakers with carbide tips is common, but in addition, this new cutting method utilizes the impact force of ultra-high-pressure coolant to fragment chips.

Achieving long lifespan even under harsh conditions! Introduction of various industrial high-pressure pumps.

The "Industrial High-Pressure Pump" achieves long life even under harsh conditions by using high-quality packing and a ceramic plunger. The ceramic plunger has low friction and is resistant to scratches, which helps prolong the life of the seals. The gland packing section uses the highest quality packing made from T.N.B synthetic materials. With a backup method employed, it effectively maintains packing performance under high pressure. 【Features】 ■ Sealing mechanism (no oil injection, no leakage) ■ Ceramic plunger (replaceable) ■ High-grade packing (long life, easy to replace) ■ Direct drive (easy alignment) *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

By cutting chips with ultra-high pressure coolant, we eliminate the entanglement of chips that hinders automation and improve production efficiency! *Materials with case studies available.

During cutting, the chips and shavings generated can wrap around the equipment, causing machine stoppages and workpiece damage. Additionally, when chips wrap around, the coolant cannot reach the cutting edge, hindering its cooling. Tokupi's ultra-high-pressure coolant prevents chips from wrapping around by breaking them apart, thus avoiding machine stoppages and workpiece damage. It also allows for efficient cooling of the cutting edge, making it less likely for cutting speeds to decrease. This document introduces the topic of "The Impact of New Cutting Edge Cooling and Chip Fragmentation." It clearly presents the "Current Situation of Chips" and the "Ultra-High-Pressure Coolant Concept" using photos and diagrams. We encourage you to read it. 【Contents (Excerpt)】 ■ Main Business ■ Market and Expected Market for High-Pressure Coolants ■ Current Situation of Conventional Coolants in the Processing Industry ■ Chip Issues, Cutting Edge Cooling, Concept ■ High-Pressure Tools, Tokyo University Boiling Film, Osaka University Crater Wear ◆◆◆ Exhibition Information ◆◆◆ We will be exhibiting at MECT 2023 at Port Messe Nagoya.

About ROAD: The "Roundtable on the Purpose of Autonomous Driving (ROAD)" conference series has evolved into a unique platform for interdis-ciplinary dialogue and international collaboration in the field of autonomous driving and autonomous mobility. Established in 2016, ROAD has brought together researchers, industry leaders, and public sector stakeholders from six countries across three continents. Based on this background, the upcoming ROAD 2026 will focus on "safety” and "driving AI”—the final pieces of the autonomous driving puzzle—to advance discussions on establishing the foundational framework for ensuring safety quality and obtaining regular-tory approval for autonomous driving. We also intend to discuss the international commonalities and differences regarding the social value brought about by ADS vehicles in terms of automation, intelligent driving, and mobility. We have established a total of five compelling themes for the Round Workshops, consisting of two topics related to “The Last Piece” and three topics related to the social value of ADS, as shown below. 1) Round Workshop 1 - Horizons of E2E Driving AI → Can AI Understand the Driving Environment Like Humans? 2) Round Workshop 2 - Beyond the Unknown: Safety Cases for ADS → Can Safety Ever Be Proven? 3) Round Workshop 3 - Envisioning Smart City Mobility → Can Smart City Mobility Bridge the Mobility Divide? 4) Round Workshop 4 - Logistics Enhancement Through Autonomous Tracking → Will Logistics Become Human-Free? 5) Round Workshop 5 - The Evolution of CASE: SDV/AIDV → Will Automakers Become AI Companies? We hope you’ll all join us!

[Speaker] Masashi Sugita, President and CEO of LEX Style Co., Ltd.

[Instructor] Yuichiro Kabushiki, Partner Lawyer at TMI Comprehensive Law Office [Key Lecture Content] With the spread of AI, there is growing attention on the civil liability of developers, providers, and users of AI. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will publish "Guidelines on the Interpretation and Application of Civil Liability in AI Utilization" in April 2026, and the Ministry of Justice will also establish an expert meeting to examine civil liability related to unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI in the same month. As the full enforcement of the AI Promotion Act and the revision of AI guidelines are underway, it is necessary to design and operate governance based on the potential responsibilities that may arise retrospectively. In this seminar, based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and drawing on litigation practice experience as a judge and lawyer, we will organize the basic framework for assessing civil liability and explain fundamental methods for designing and operating governance based on risk analysis. Furthermore, we will examine the framework for civil liability and the design and operation of governance using hypothetical cases that are likely to pose practical issues.

In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.
