Season 3 [Fusion] Chapter 8: Overcoming the Barriers of Tolerance and Manufacturing Variation — Geometric Tolerancing (GD&T) and Digital Twins of Mechanical Behavior

In safety measures for civil engineering sites, it is important not only to consider heavy machinery and work methods but also to ensure that the "footing" used daily by vehicles and workers is well-prepared. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering mats that utilize wood CLT. By laying them on access roads, temporary roads, worker pathways, and material yards, they can level muddy or uneven ground and help secure movement within the site. In addition to the unique surface characteristics of wood, they are also less likely to reflect heat and radiation compared to steel plates during the summer. Furthermore, the 5×10 mats weigh approximately 230 kg, making them relatively lightweight and easy to install and remove with small machinery, which helps reduce the burden during construction. Hyper CLT mats are registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS as "TH-250021-A." They are materials that can easily be incorporated into safety measures and creative ideas utilizing NETIS. With the new combination of wood, civil engineering, and CLT, they support site safety from the ground up.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair 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 Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair 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 made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

Fukuda Co., Ltd., which develops, manufactures, and sells leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing performance, provides a technical document that clearly explains the methods and theories of airtight testing, titled "Technical Manual." We are offering it as a PDF file. Please take this opportunity to download and view it!

The Hino Smart Cabinet provided by Nichinichi Shimizu Machinery Co., Ltd. is a material management solution that allows for the management of factory tools and consumables like a vending machine. This system automates inventory management and ordering processes, preventing the risk of production stoppages due to stockouts and significantly reducing the burden of inventory tasks. The cabinet comes in various types, such as drawer-type and spiral-type, allowing for the proper storage of drills, measuring instruments, protective gear, and more according to their intended use. Furthermore, the history management function through user authentication accurately tracks "who took out what and when," contributing to loss prevention and cost reduction. Operating 24/7 with no maintenance required, it is introduced as an efficient tool to promote the digital transformation (DX) of factories.
