Tests can be conducted while observing the condition of the material surface [using a dual-swing crosshead], keeping the sample position centered to capture any changes!

The "CATY-T3H SYSTEM" is a tabletop-sized high-temperature tensile observation device that allows for thermal fatigue testing while observing the state of the sample surface in real-time. It can be used with simple operations and supports high-temperature and high-speed heating. By adopting a dual-swing crosshead, it maintains the sample's position in the center even if the sample piece expands or contracts, thereby minimizing the displacement of the observation position. By combining with optional units, it can also accommodate tests such as bending observation. 【Features】 ■ Capable of high-temperature and high-speed heating up to 1500°C * However, this depends on the shape and thermal capacity of the sample. ■ Testing of not only metallic materials but also composite materials of surface-mounted components is possible. ■ Stress measurement, low-cycle fatigue testing, and creep testing can be conducted in gas flow or vacuum conditions. ■ Realization of combined testing for thermal fatigue under stress and real-time observation. * For more details, please refer to the documentation. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

Simply place it on the stage of your microscope or micro-scope to observe changes from -100°C to 300°C in real-time. In a hermetically sealed furnace, heating and cooling can be performed under various vacuum inert gas atmospheres. 【Points】 ▮ Flexible temperature control performance With the dedicated software "TeCSS," temperature programming and monitoring can be easily done (it can also be operated independently with the temperature controller). Additionally, it displays temperature, time, and scale, and allows for in-situ image capture and storage synchronized with actual temperature records using the dedicated video recording software "HiTOS." By adding a cooling mechanism, it can also accommodate -100°C. ▮ Compact and user-friendly design This heating and cooling stage is designed to be small and thin, making it easy to reproduce special conditions. In addition to observation applications under microscopes or micro-scopes, it can also be repurposed for analytical instruments such as laser microscopes, Raman spectroscopy, and micro-spectroscopy. ▮ Atmosphere control with vacuum chamber structure Due to its vacuum chamber structure, heating and cooling can be performed under vacuum inert gas atmospheres. It also allows for the exhaust of vapors such as degassed materials vaporized by heating, and a XY slideable specimen holder makes it easy to introduce and remove prepared samples.

The low-voltage fuse "SBFC-MS" is a slow blow fuse that can withstand temporary overcurrents and only blows under continuous overcurrent conditions. In automobiles, it is particularly effective for devices that experience momentary spikes in current. It is recommended for those facing challenges related to circuit protection in the automotive industry, construction machinery industry, and low-voltage fuses (below DC70V).

● The production time for casting 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 creating 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 variations in dimensions, can be created in a single molding process. 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 even 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 a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
