High-precision laser processing with reduced burrs by suppressing heat with water jet! New demonstration center opened.

The Swiss company Synova, which holds the basic patent for water jet-guided laser (laser microjet technology), has developed the 5-axis machining center 'MCS150'. By passing a water jet with a diameter of less than 100μm, it suppresses heat generation and enables efficient and precise processing while directing high-power lasers onto the material. In addition to having superior "cooling effects" compared to air lasers, it can remove molten material using a water jet without the need for assist gas, allowing for processing with minimal burrs and reduced thermal impact. 【A new demonstration center has been established.】 ■ It is the largest among our demonstration centers. ■ It will be opened at the Makino Milling Machine Co., Ltd. Atsugi office. ■ Two 3-axis machining machines and one simultaneous 5-axis machining machine for diamond tool processing will be permanently available. (Another simultaneous 5-axis machining machine will be added in early 2015.)

Improving the manufacturing efficiency of GE-made gas turbine components! A groundbreaking high-performance manufacturing device.

Swiss company Synova, which has innovative laser cutting technology, and Japanese company Makino Milling Machine Co., Ltd., known for its high-performance and high-quality precision technology, will jointly announce a groundbreaking manufacturing device for gas turbine components using laser microjet technology. This new manufacturing device not only dramatically reduces the processing time required to drill cooling holes in rotating machinery components but also contributes to the development of excellent cooling technologies aimed at improving gas turbine performance and extending the lifespan of components. This manufacturing technology is planned to be utilized in the production of GE's state-of-the-art gas turbines and, in the future, in the manufacturing of GE aircraft engines. Components installed in the hot gas path of rotating machinery are exposed to temperatures exceeding 1,300°C, requiring special materials with heat-resistant coatings. The new manufacturing device using laser microjet technology can create precise holes in these special materials, enabling accurate cooling effects for each component.

• Special Processing Machinery

It is a high-precision laser processing machine that combines the advantages of water jet and laser technology!

The "MCS Series" is a laser processing machine newly developed by Makino Milling Machine Co., Ltd. for LMJ processing. It enables high-precision processing of metals and ceramics, such as cutting, drilling, and grooving, through its high-precision X, Y, Z axes and rotary axis. All controls can be managed from an intuitive touchscreen. The laser oscillator and water pump necessary for processing are all built into the main unit. 【Features】 ■ Water jet ejected from nozzles with a diameter of 100μm or less ■ Creates total reflection phenomena at the water-air interface, directing the laser beam straight to the material ■ Low water pressure flow exerts minimal force on the workpiece, having little impact on ultra-fine materials ■ The water jet removes melted substances, preventing contamination ■ Allows for high-precision processing by rapidly repeating melting and cooling, minimizing thermal effects For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

[Speaker] Naomasa Shibuya, Department Manager Data Marketing Unit, Strategy and Platform Division East Japan Railway Company Marketing Headquarters [Key Lecture Content] East Japan Railway Company announced a new group management vision, "Yusho 2034," aimed at realizing a rich life for all people by July 2025. In addition to the railway transportation business, we will further expand lifestyle service businesses (non-railway) such as station facilities, station buildings, hotels, and real estate, promoting human-centered marketing focused on our customers. To achieve this, data marketing utilizing usage history from Suica and JRE Point members is essential. It is not enough to simply implement tools or acquire analytical techniques; it is crucial to cultivate personnel who understand the business and can conduct appropriate data analysis and strategy planning. We will also introduce the development of job-type personnel in data marketing, which we began recruiting in 2024. In this lecture, I will discuss the key points for advancing data marketing within a business company, incorporating case studies.
