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.*

With the current processing methods and technologies, it is difficult to create complex shapes, integrated structures, lattice/honeycomb structures, porous structures, hollow structures, hybrid structures, and direct manufacturing from 3D data. Furthermore, through topology optimization and collaboration with generative design, we can achieve the creation of innovative aluminum parts that are not available from conventional or other companies, rapid development and prototyping of parts, dramatic reduction in the number of parts, ultra-lightweight and compact designs, cost reduction, and significant decreases in the number of processes and personnel involved. In this seminar, leading users such as J·3D, ODEC, and pioneers in white copper, who have achieved remarkable results in aluminum part manufacturing using metal 3D printers, will discuss key points and precautions for implementation and utilization, various manufacturing methods and technologies, rapid, low-cost, high-quality manufacturing techniques, uniquely developed next-generation AM technologies, groundbreaking case studies that significantly differentiate from other companies' parts, as well as factors for failure and secrets to success. Based on numerous research results and rich manufacturing achievements, we will provide a clear and concrete explanation for those considering implementation, beginners with interest, and those who have just started in the field. [Currently, half-price tuition] When applying, please write "Other [8,500 yen]" in the "Other" section above the application form on our website.

[Speaker] Kuniomi Mabuchi, Co-Founder and CEO of XinobiAI Inc. [Key Lecture Content] The evolution of generative AI is expanding from the digital space into the real world. How will "Physical AI," which recognizes, judges, and acts through robotics and autonomous driving, change industries, society, and our work? In this lecture, based on the book "The True Nature of Physical AI," we will clearly explain its fundamental concepts, the technologies supporting its evolution, trends among major global companies and countries, and areas of application such as manufacturing and logistics. Furthermore, we will explore the changing roles and responsibilities of humans and AI/machines, unravel Japan's strengths and challenges, and envision the changes in industry and society towards the 2030s, as well as the future brought about by Physical AI. [Lecture Topics] 1. What is Physical AI? - Changes occurring after "Generative AI" 2. Technologies supporting the evolution of Physical AI 3. Global competitive trends and changes in industrial structure 4. The potential of Physical AI spreading in the field 5. How will human work and responsibilities change? 6. Outlook for the 2030s and Japan's potential 7. Q&A / Business card exchange
