Connect to a solar cell and operates at the maximum operating point (Pmax). It can track the maximum power point under various solar illumination, angle, and temperature conditions.

To evaluate the power generation performance of solar cells, it is necessary to actually put the solar cells in a generating state. Without connecting a load, no current will flow, and thus power generation performance cannot be measured. This device consumes the output power by converting it into heat internally when the solar cells are connected. By simply establishing a minimal measurement environment, it is possible to measure the power generation of the solar cells (the device measures voltage, current, and power every second). For tracking the maximum power point, a unique MPPT tracking method is employed, which, in addition to the conventional sequential power comparison (hill climbing method), sweeps the I-V curve output characteristics of the solar cells once per minute to explore the maximum operating point, thereby performing MPPT control. As a result, even when the maximum operating point (Pmax) changes significantly due to sudden weather changes or shading, it continues to track the maximum operating point. Additionally, when combined with a PV analyzer (I-V curve tracer), it is possible to construct a simulated system under load for outdoor exposure tests. This device is used for applications such as confirming domestic power generation amounts for new types of solar cells (perovskite type), vehicle-mounted solar cells, and OEM products.

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 even 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.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
