Deadline Approaching! [Idemitsu] Notice for the 2024 Cutting Heat Treatment Research Conference

Eliminate poor rust prevention and significantly reduce rework processes! Cut costs by minimizing waste and oil supply.

"Super Coat RS" is a water-displacing rust preventive oil that has high water displacement and rust prevention properties, ensuring stable finishing quality and reducing the need for rework processes. With its high water separation capability, this product allows for the disposal of only the separated water. This can reduce waste and oil supply amounts, significantly contributing to cost savings along with the reduction of rework processes. Additionally, due to its low viscosity, it helps improve the working environment by making manufacturing lines and products less sticky. 【Features】 ■ The combination of water displacement and rust prevention significantly reduces rework processes. ■ High water separation capability helps cut costs by minimizing waste and oil supply amounts. ■ Improved working environment through odor reduction and other factors. ■ High flash point for easier management. ■ Uses barium-free additives, considering environmental impact. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Rust Inhibitor

Extended shelf life against decay and significant reduction in supply quantity! Well-received for reducing stickiness and suppressing mist.

**Awards** - Received the Technical Award at the 43rd Precision Engineering Society - Received the Grand Prize at the 21st 2024 "Super" Monozukuri Parts Awards - Received the Minister of the Environment Award at the 24th Green and Sustainable Chemistry Awards **Product Overview** The "Alpha Cool NV Series" is a water-soluble cutting oil that balances the improvement of the working environment with increased productivity. It is particularly well-received for significantly reducing stickiness on equipment and products, as well as for its effectiveness in suppressing mist and foul odors. Additionally, it has successfully reduced the amount of carry-off. In actual workplaces, it has been confirmed that the consumption of the concentrate has been reduced by an average of 40%. Along with improving the working environment, it contributes to reducing both usage and disposal amounts, thereby enhancing productivity on-site. The NV series offers two types: an emulsion type that accommodates a wide range of processing from non-ferrous to alloy steel, and a soluble type specialized for iron processing. **Features** - Improved resistance to spoilage, extending performance maintenance time by over 250% - Reduced carry-off, cutting concentrate consumption by 40% - Contribution to the environment and reduction of disposal costs - Enhanced safety for workers due to reduced oil mist *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

[Lecturer] Director of the Public Interest Incorporated Association Security Dialogue Council / Defense Issues Researcher Member of the Defense Industry Working Group, Japan Growth Strategy Council, Ms. Misasa Sakurabayashi [Key Lecture Content] For many years, Japan's defense industry was considered a "non-profitable" sector, but it has suddenly come into the spotlight and is now positioned as part of the growth strategy. On the other hand, the needs for equipment development for the Self-Defense Forces, which is its original purpose, are rapidly changing, and the technologies required of companies are entering a new era. What direction will Japan's "defense industry policy," which includes multifaceted intentions such as the pursuit of sustained combat capability and trends, as well as industrial policy, take? Additionally, what barriers exist? I will discuss these topics. [Lecture Items] 1. The reality faced by the Self-Defense Forces - Countdown to 2027 2. The completely different Japanese "defense industry" and the global military supply industry 3. The structure and usage of defense spending 4. The evolving concept of equipment due to changing needs - DU (Dual Use) 5. What Japanese-style defense equipment transfer entails 6. Q&A

[Speaker] EY Strategy and Consulting Co., Ltd. Senior Manager, Advanced Manufacturing & Mobility, Yosuke Ikuide [Key Lecture Content] With the recent advancements in AI, humanoid robots with autonomous control are finally becoming a reality. However, while the technological evolution is remarkable, the market potential and impact on businesses remain uncertain. How much business opportunity will humanoids create in various industrial and service sectors? What timeline can we expect for their social implementation, and what level of impact will they have on the businesses of related companies? Additionally, there is little discussion about the potential for new entrants outside of existing robotics companies. In this lecture, we will revisit the fundamental definitions of automation and robotics to provide guidance on these questions, clarifying the future vision of social implementation based on that. We will also reveal the new markets and business opportunities that will emerge from this.
