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.

In civil engineering sites, the use of sheet piling methods is essential for safely utilizing the site, including temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways. Traditionally, steel plates have been widely used, but due to their weight, they can be cumbersome to transport, install, and remove. Hyper CLT sheet piles are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil use. The 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle with small machinery, contributing to reduced burdens during installation and improved work efficiency. They can be utilized in a wide range of civil engineering sites for measures against muddy conditions, ground protection, heavy machinery scaffolding, and ensuring pedestrian pathways. As a registered technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS "TH-250021-A," it is also recommended as a material for innovative ideas, safety measures, and environmental considerations in public works.

What is an Air Leak Tester? An "Air Leak Tester" is a device that pressurizes the inside (or outside) of a sealed workpiece with air and determines the presence of leaks based on pressure changes. When a master with no leaks and a workpiece with leaks are pressurized, the pressure on the workpiece side decreases, creating a pressure difference between the two. By measuring this pressure difference, the presence of leaks can be determined. Generally, differential pressure air leak testing is widely used, but Fukuda also offers products that utilize direct pressure leak testing and flow meters according to the leak rate, in addition to differential pressure leak testers. Since the air leak tester uses air as the measurement medium, it incurs no running costs and is environmentally friendly.
