Introducing the "Tank Cleaning and Filtration Cleaner" for customers using NC lathes and MC lathes, designed to reduce work burden and achieve efficient cutting fluid management.

Are you facing any of these cleaning issues? - Cleaning tasks are cumbersome and labor-intensive, causing back pain. - Prolonged cleaning leads to unpleasant odors. - You have to stop the machines during cleaning, resulting in decreased productivity. - Accumulation of chips leads to unstable processing accuracy and defective products. When chips and sludge accumulate, it can shorten the lifespan of machine tools and increase manufacturing costs. That's where our "Filtration Cleaner" comes in as a solution! The key to the solution is the introduction of a "Filtration Machine"! We have prepared the following two types according to your needs. 1. Large Capacity Open Drum Type (APDQO-F Series) This model is compatible with 200L or 100L open drums. - Reuse of cutting fluid: Efficiently reuse filtered chips. - Improved cleaning efficiency: Significantly reduce work time. - Versatile: Capable of filtering liquids other than cutting machines. - Thorough management: Completely drain liquids to keep the tank clean. 2. Compact Circulation Type (J-F Series) This model is suitable for work in tight spaces. - Maintain production efficiency: Work without stopping the machines. - Space-saving design: Easy to install even in narrow areas. - Continuous maintenance: Regular filtration keeps cutting fluid clean at all times.

The "CCS2" is a ceiling-mounted vehicle counting sensor that employs an infrared reflection method. It can detect vehicles in both directions with just one unit, accurately counting vehicles even during traffic jams or when vehicles pass each other. Additionally, this product can be used not only for vehicle counting but also as a sensor for departure warnings. Furthermore, by using a separately sold dedicated remote control, it is easy to reset the sensor alone, switch the counting direction, and change the patterns of the departure warning timer. 【Features】 ■ Angle adjustment is possible up to ±5° ■ Can be installed in locations with high ceilings up to 4m ■ Detection area consists of 40 spots, allowing for wide-range detection ■ The display LEDs are color-coded by direction, making operation confirmation easy.

Many people may have questions like, "What can be done with IoT?" and "What is needed?" upon hearing the term IoT. Through digital communication, it is possible to obtain various information such as flow sensors, valves, circuit boards, and abnormal monitoring that were not accessible with traditional analog control. For example, by monitoring the valve opening, one can detect blockages in the equipment and identify leaks from cumulative flow. This information directly contributes to reducing downtime and improving quality through continuous long-term monitoring and knowledge-based management. Compatible models include those with digital communication via RS485, in addition to traditional analog controls like 0-5VDC and 4-20mA. (Older models such as the 58xxS, MfxxS series, SLA58xxS, and SLAMfxxS series). Even older models that do not support digital communication can be upgraded to the latest mass flow models, enabling digital communication. The dimensions between new and old models are the same, and no wiring changes are necessary. Additionally, we can provide control boxes for data collection from mass flow. This enables a "visualization" of small IoT without making large changes to the equipment.

Model SLA5850/SLA5851/SLA5853/SLA5860/SLA5861/SLA5863 "With just one unit, you can use 14 types of pressure and flow rates in a single process." Imagine such a mass flow controller platform. Moreover, it features excellent reproducibility, precision, and repeatability. This is the evolved simple performance of the SLA5800 series mass flow controllers/meters. The SLA5800 series boasts high accuracy, zero point stability, and repeatability that are characteristic of Brooks Instrument, a leader in mass flow measurement and control technology. Equipped with configurable advanced multi-gas/multi-range capabilities, it offers superior zero drift specifications compared to competing products while demonstrating long-term maintenance of factory calibration and accuracy.
