Are you aiming for "zero missed leaks" in liquid filling processes? A new liquid leak inspection device utilizing flexible printed circuit boards (FPC)!

An FPC is installed at the mouth of "liquid-filled containers" flowing on production lines such as conveyor belts, enabling instant detection of minute liquid leaks. This contributes to the automation of line stoppages and the elimination of defective products. It is a new inspection solution that realizes "visualization" for quality improvement, cost reduction, and standardization of inspection processes. 【Features】 - High-precision surface detection that surpasses visual inspection capabilities - Inline installation on existing lines is possible (retrofit compatible) - Compatible with various shapes such as bottles, pouches, and nozzles - Eliminates reliance on specific personnel, enabling unmanned operation without the need for training - Automation and standardization of inspection processes through the supplementation of visual inspections - Addresses labor shortages with 24-hour unmanned inspections 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Increased efficiency and improved yield in pre-shipment inspections - Reduced risk of returns and recalls - Lower labor and training costs - Standardization of quality across overseas locations The FPC can be customized according to container shapes through in-house design and manufacturing.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed 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 or download the catalog.

● 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.
