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.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

On our company's website introducing vehicle detection sensors, you can easily find products that meet your needs from three categories: "Purpose of Use," "Location of Use," and "Product List." [Introduction to Vehicle Detection Sensors] The sensors detect the passage of vehicles and notify you with a rotating light or switch the display of parking availability. They contribute to safe driving within parking lots and smooth management operations. They are used in various areas, from coin parking to large-scale parking lots. We will continue to improve our webpage to provide information about Hotron's "Vehicle Detection Sensors."

In facilities operating nurse call systems, we have made the bed exit sensor wireless, allowing it to notify in conjunction with the nurse call system. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. This helps prevent accidents caused by falls, slips, or wandering, contributing to the efficiency of medical operations. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ The bed exit sensor notifies wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call system. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with a single receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The "Hotron Non-Contact Switch" allows you to open and close doors without directly touching door knobs or switches, making it hygienic!
