March 6, 2025 (Thursday) 16:00 - WEB Seminar [Safety Measures / Improving Work Efficiency] Case Studies on Solving Issues Around Doors and Covers

To ensure comfortable use without feeling stressed, we design unique and intricate movements through a multifaceted approach.

"Motion Design Tech" is a technology that not only provides a pleasant movement of doors and lids themselves but also creates a sense of ease and confidence for users, enabling them to realize their desires, while being considerate of people's feelings. By selecting movements that suit the working environment, the operability of doors and lids is improved. This can also lead to increased efficiency in tasks involving opening and closing, enhancing the added value of devices and equipment. Because it is a technology of movement, we have incorporated functions to support the installation of various products to make that "movement" better. 【Motion】 ■ Free Stop Motion ■ Soft Motion ■ Assist Motion ■ Click Motion ■ Unique Motion ■ Multi Linear Motion *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us. *This information is as of July 2024.

Prevents the cover from unexpectedly falling off, providing peace of mind during cleaning. Additionally, it accommodates different sizes with just one model.

We have adopted the adjustable one-way torque hinge model HG-TQJ100 for the cover opening and closing section of the conveyor belt. 【Key Issues】 - We want to ensure that the cover does not close unexpectedly so that workers in food factories can clean safely. - We want to use it for covers of multiple conveyor belts of different sizes. - We want to lower the overall height of the equipment. 【Solutions】 Cleaning the conveyor belt is done by opening the cover, but it is dangerous if the cover closes unexpectedly during the process. We proposed a product that can securely hold the cover open to prevent accidental dropping. Additionally, since the cover is heavy, we suggested a one-way torque hinge instead of a standard torque hinge. This allows torque to occur in only one direction, making it more comfortable and safer to open and close. Furthermore, the torque adjustment feature was well-received as it allows one product to accommodate covers of various sizes. The installation height inside the conveyor belt is limited, and supports or gas springs cannot be installed, but we were able to solve these issues with just the hinge, which also allowed us to lower the overall height of the equipment.

Make effective use of the interior of the device while saving space.

The power assist hinge HG-PA230-25 has been adopted for the cover opening and closing part of the chip mounter. [Key Issues] - There is not enough space to install a gas spring, but an assist function is desired when opening. - We want to make the device easy to see the stacked indicator lights. [Solutions] Due to the heavy weight of the cover, conventional models used gas springs; however, the new model faced the issue of not being able to install a gas spring due to the internal device configuration. The power assist hinge allows for the heavy cover to be opened easily with just the hinge, making it possible to replace the gas spring. Additionally, since it utilizes the spring's counterforce, there is no concern about gas leakage, which was also appreciated. We chose a type that can be installed inside the device, making it possible to have a device where the stacked indicator lights are easy to see. This product can be easily selected using the selection tool "Suga-kun," and simulations can be conducted before prototype verification. The customer in this case also first used the selection tool "Suga-kun," and after prototype verification, it was adopted for mass production models.

Monoflat Links Hinge LIN-X450 model, LIN-X600 model

● This is a hinge that allows for a smaller door projection compared to a typical swing door. Please watch the video to see the product in action! ● When closed, the doors fit flat against each other. ● Both when opening and after opening, the door projection is smaller than that of a swing door, so it doesn't obstruct movement, making it suitable for use in tight spaces in front of cabinets. ● The door can be held in any position. Additionally, when closing, it shuts slowly and quietly due to the damper. ● It can be easily attached and detached with a single touch.

Power Assist Hinge HG-PA Type

This is a hinge that enhances safety with two features. (1) Power Assist Mechanism The built-in spring assists in lifting the lid. It opens gently and easily, reducing the strain on your back and arms. (2) Slow and Quiet Closing Damper Mechanism When you let go of the lid as it is closing, the built-in damper allows it to close slowly. This reduces the noise and impact of slamming.

Recently, fine bubbles, which are tiny bubbles smaller than 100 μm and are referred to as "fine bubbles," have attracted attention in various fields such as the environment, agriculture, food, fisheries, and medicine, due to their ability to impart various functions to liquids. Fine bubbles are classified into two types based on their size: microbubbles and ultrafine bubbles. Recently, there has been a growing interest in ultrafine bubbles, which have a lifespan of several weeks to months. However, listening to the voices of researchers and users reveals some skepticism, which has become one of the issues hindering the spread of fine bubble technology. On the other hand, we have challenged the elucidation of the stabilization mechanism of ultrafine bubbles from a new perspective by enabling the control of number density exceeding 10 billion particles/mL without pressure or concentration operations using our ultrafine bubble generation technology. In this seminar, we will provide a fundamental explanation of fine bubble technology, including the basic physical properties, characteristics and functions, device technology, measurement and evaluation methods, and case studies, to promote research and utilization of fine bubbles based on a correct understanding.

Sekiguchi Iron Works Co., Ltd. will exhibit at the "Minami-Shinshu Environmental Messe 2025" held at S-Bird in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture. This exhibition will be held simultaneously with the "Environmental Industry Trade Fair" taking place the day before. It will be held over the weekend, with many family-friendly events planned. We encourage those who usually find it difficult to visit to take this opportunity to come. Our product exhibition area is located about 10 minutes from the venue. We sincerely look forward to your visit.
