We have published the air balancer "KUROKO-50" on the development case page of 【HERO Lab.】.

Bringing unprecedented robots into practical use and contributing to solving challenges in extreme environments.

The Extreme Environment Robot Research Institute (HERO Lab) is an organization aimed at the research and development of decommissioning robots that can operate in environments where humans cannot enter, such as the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Founded in 2020, it welcomed Professor Shigeo Hirose, an honorary professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology and the first recipient of the Pioneer in Robotics and Automation Award from the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society, as its director. We aim to contribute to society by solving significantly difficult and diverse problems that no one in the world has yet found solutions for through creative robot development. *For more details, please check the related links below or contact us.*

We would like to introduce the '96 WJacket Tubes 1.0ml Type' handled by FCR and Bio Co., Ltd. This product is an autoclavable tube with a 2D code that is compatible with DMSO and liquid nitrogen vapor. The type with Rack ID allows you to use a reader that can read both the Tube ID and Rack ID simultaneously by simply scanning the 2D code for Rack ID on the bottom of the Rack. 【Features】 ■ Polypropylene ■ Autoclavable ■ DMSO compatible ■ Compatible with liquid nitrogen vapor ■ Capacity: 1.0ml *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

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 on 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 a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● To determine the sealing and waterproofing of sealed products based on pressure changes, it is not necessary to conduct tests that involve spraying water on the product or immersing it in water. ● Once the product is placed in a dedicated fixture within the inspection device, waterproofing can be quantitatively confirmed through automatic measurement. ● The target product size is W 300 × D 210 × H 100 mm or smaller. ● The target products include automotive cameras, smartphones, ECUs, small motors, and other packaging containers, and are effective for any products that require confirmation of sealing, waterproofing, and airtightness. ● For product specifications and details, please contact us.

In battery manufacturing lines, if components containing copper are used, there is a possibility that metal powder may mix in, dissolve, ionize, and pass through the separator, causing a malfunction that connects the positive and negative electrodes. Such minute metal powders may not be detected during pre-shipment inspections, and even if they are found, they can lead to various issues, such as the need to increase inspection processes to detect them. Therefore, Fukuda has developed a copper-free (all stainless steel) air leak tester that can be safely used in the production lines of battery manufacturers and secondary battery manufacturing equipment manufacturers. For product specifications and details, please refer to the "Related Product Information" and "Related Catalogs" below.

This is an air leak tester for battery cases of electric vehicles (EVs). The battery case has the characteristic of being "large with a significant internal volume, and its structure may deform due to internal pressure." As a result, air leak testing generates "noise caused by its large size and capacity" and "noise caused by expansion or deformation due to internal pressurization." To mitigate this noise, this device features a newly developed smoothing function and a linear fitting correction function used in combination during measurement. Additionally, to achieve low-pressure control that is difficult to manage and to expand flow for large volumes, we provide a bypass box (CBU-600) equipped with an electro-pneumatic regulator for precise pressure control and a pressurization valve with a large effective diameter to supply high flow rates. Measurement methods: Work-Work comparison, Work-Master comparison, Fixed Master comparison Measurement pressure range: 10 kPa, 20 kPa, 50 kPa (depending on specifications) Gauge pressure sensor accuracy: ±2% F.S. Differential pressure sensor accuracy: ±0.5% F.S. Group settings: 0 to 31 groups Power supply voltage / Power consumption: AC100 to 240 V / 100 VA
