Achieves ±0.1% FS accuracy with RS485 output.

The high-precision water level gauge series 26X mathematically corrects temperature influences and non-linearity accurately on a microcontroller. There are types for absolute pressure or gauge pressure (using an open atmospheric pipe). In addition to the RS485 interface, measurement results can also be output as an analog signal via a built-in D/A converter, and scaling settings (range changes) can be made through digital signals. An option with built-in lightning protection devices is also available, allowing use in various harsh environments such as rivers, wells, and boreholes. It has excellent temperature characteristics due to digital correction of output errors caused by temperature changes. 【Features】 - Standard dual outputs of digital RS485 and analog output - Analog output can be range-changed via digital RS485 - Achieves excellent long-term stability - Maintenance-free 【Technology】 - Piezo-resistive pressure sensor - Correction technology using a mathematical model to produce accurate pressure values - Robust stainless steel housing

Strong in durability and wear resistance, ideal for sewage pump stations and manhole pumps!

The 26KyX series water level gauge is a submersible water level gauge specially developed for sewage and wastewater applications. It features a diaphragm made of Kynar with PTFE properties, providing resistance to viscous media along with excellent hardness and abrasion resistance. The 26KyX water level gauge can be easily installed in harsh environments without the need for expensive protective cages that take up space. Measurement results can be obtained via an RS485 interface, as well as through analog signal output via a built-in D/A converter, allowing for scaling settings (modification of the water level range). A version with a built-in lightning protection device is also available (optional). 【Features】 - Anti-fouling diaphragm design - Body material made of SUS316L - RS485 serial communication - Accurate correction technology

It is also possible to measure low water levels of 30cmH2O! There is also an explosion-proof type available.

The water level gauge series 46X is a low-level water gauge that uses a ceramic sensor element, capable of measuring water levels from 0 to 30 cmH2O. By performing mathematical correction processing on a microprocessor digital circuit, it achieves an accuracy of ±0.1% FS. In addition to a digital RS485 interface, it also features an analog output, allowing for scaling settings (changing the water level range). An intrinsically safe explosion-proof type 46XEi is also available. 【Features】 〇 Utilizes a capacitive method. The ceramic sensor element is suitable for low-pressure measurement. 〇 Standard equipped with both digital RS485 and analog outputs. 〇 Digital correction of output signals. 〇 Explosion-proof type available (41XEi).

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 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 casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create 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! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

In the field of collaborative robots, there is a demand for reduced startup labor, energy efficiency, and safe yet flexible handling performance. In particular, reliance on compressed air systems and complex wiring and piping can pose challenges during installation and operation. Piab's "piCOBOT Electric for ABB GoFa" is a plug-and-play electric vacuum gripper solution optimized specifically for ABB GoFa. Its all-electric design generates vacuum using only electricity, eliminating the need for compressed air. This enables the creation of a clean, quiet, and energy-efficient collaborative robot cell. Furthermore, by adopting ABB GoFa-specific software plugins, designated cables, and standard ISO machine interfaces, smooth integration into the ABB control environment is possible. This supports rapid startup and stable operation. Read the article here: https://www.piab.com/ja-jp/news/piab-launches-picobot-electric-for-abb-gofa

We have added the DL material "Explained in Manga! Let's Prevent Technical Information Leakage to the Outside with CrackProof Software Protection!" to the DNP Hypertech site. In the manufacturing industry, there is a growing awareness of measures against the leakage of technical information. Many companies seem to have already established sufficient rules and measures for information protection when exchanging data with external parties. However, when it comes to cases where in-house software suffers from cracking (unauthorized analysis and tampering) and information leaks occur, the current measures are still not adequate. We have explained the measures against technical information leakage through software protection in an easy-to-understand manga format. Please take a look.
