A cost-effective remote monitoring system for resin compound companies. It aggregates data scattered throughout the factory and visualizes operational status!

Kubota's compound line monitoring system is a remote monitoring system that contributes to productivity improvement by not only capturing information from feeders but also from extruders and peripheral equipment, enabling comprehensive display of equipment operating status and rapid data analysis during abnormalities. It promotes visualization of your factory through phased implementation into the equipment. This system is ideal for customers facing challenges such as "sometimes not noticing alarms from equipment," "wanting to identify the cause of defective products," and "manually recording measurement data on-site." 【CraftPat Neo Launch】 - Supports multi-OS and multi-browser, allowing monitoring from smartphones and tablets (in a Wi-Fi environment) - Multi-window and multi-display capabilities enable dashboard-like usage, such as displaying graphs side by side - Enhanced grade management features further streamline grade management

• Instrumentation and Control Systems

Three unique structures to achieve stable supply of raw materials! You can choose according to your needs, such as flow rate and hopper capacity, dual-axis/single-axis screws, etc.

<NEW> The flow range of large machines has further expanded with the minor change! The 'NX Feeder' can stably supply various powders and granules such as pellets, fiberglass, pigments, carbon black, and titanium dioxide with just one feeder. While excelling in disassembly and cleaning, it is equipped with three innovative proprietary structures that fundamentally prevent causes of supply irregularities, such as bridging and rat holes! It also accommodates highly cohesive powders. 【Three Proprietary Structures】 　■ Diagonal agitator structure (prevents unnecessary movement of materials) 　■ Inverted tapered chute structure (improves bridging resistance) 　■ Dense filling structure (ensures stable discharge of materials and achieves high supply accuracy)

• Other processing machines

Next-generation feeder control system aimed at the smart factory era.

The WF series inherits the basic performance of conventional control systems while evolving its scalability through network connectivity. It is a new standard control system that realizes Kubota's vision of a future production site centered around informatization. 【Features】 - Achieves IoT for compound production processes with Ethernet connectivity - Allows for the start of feeder operation without cumbersome settings or adjustments - Prevents the occurrence of defective products and prevents the outflow of defective lots in the event of any defects - Helps prevent sudden line stoppages and contributes to minimizing downtime

• Powder Supply Device

Reduce raw material leakage to the outside and contribute to improving the manufacturing environment and labor conditions!

Compared to conventional fabric air vents, it reduces the amount of raw material leakage to the outside and suppresses filter clogging by performing backwashing with air during raw material input. 《Features》 ■ Reduces site contamination caused by leaked raw materials, improving the environment and working conditions ■ Reduces waste of raw materials, minimizing the loss of valuable raw materials through discharge and disposal ■ Contributes to improved supply stability by preventing abnormal feeding during raw material replenishment

• Powder Supply Device

Weight feeder specialized for raw materials with low liquidity.

This is a weight-type feeder specialized for raw materials with poor fluidity, such as fibers. Unlike general feeders, which struggle to accommodate long fibers or irregularly sized fibers that do not easily enter the screw, this feeder can fill the screw with these materials thanks to its specially designed discharge mechanism, enabling stable supply. It is also suitable for other raw materials that tend to cause supply issues, such as film and plastic scraps. **Features** - Flexible response to long fibers and irregularly sized fibers - Stable supply of materials even for those that tend to tangle - Ideal for a wide range of raw materials including fiber-based materials, films, and plastics

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create 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! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out 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. ◎ If you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.

A "non-contact switch" that allows you to open and close doors simply by waving your hand, without directly touching the doorknob or switch! By adopting microwave technology, the risk of malfunction due to condensation in environments with temperature differences, such as cold storage warehouses, is significantly reduced. It reduces the risk of virus and bacterial infections in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, hospitals, nursing facilities, and restaurant kitchens. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus infection by allowing door operation without contact ○ Waterproof and dustproof (IP55 design), allowing the main unit to be washed with water (note: the wall surface (back side) is not applicable) ○ LED display and response sound allow for easy confirmation of detection status ○ Two pattern settings for one-shot and latch output are possible ○ The thinnest in the industry! Only 22mm thick! ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

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 non-contact beam touch sensor "HA-T401/HA-T520" has a compact detection range, making it an ideal automatic door sensor for installation on automatic doors facing narrow corridors or busy streets. Depending on the application and installation location, you can choose between "non-vision mounting type" and "non-vision built-in type." 【Features】 ● With the beam touch sensor, you can open and close the automatic door simply by bringing your hand close without touching it, ensuring hygiene. ● Depending on the installation environment, such as single sliding or bi-parting doors, the detection range can be set in four ways: left, center, right, with 4 spots and 12 spots settings. ● Two types of activation row settings are available to reduce unnecessary opening and closing of the automatic door due to cross traffic, contributing to energy-saving effects. ● The touch switch and infrared sensor are integrated, allowing for a switch between beam touch and infrared sensor modes with a single model. 【Recommended for such places!】 ☑ Entrances facing busy corridors ☑ Counters or signs near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow corridors ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
