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.

【Seminar Overview】 The construction industry faces many challenges, including labor shortages, regulations on working hours, and the need for operational efficiency. Additionally, the aging workforce presents significant issues, and there is a concerning trend of high turnover rates among younger employees who are supposed to carry on the skills and knowledge. In this seminar, we will discuss the causes of turnover based on case studies and explain key points on how advancing IT can help reduce turnover rates.

We will be exhibiting at the "Monozukuri Fair 2025" held at Marine Messe Fukuoka from October 15 (Wednesday) to October 17 (Friday). "For those in the manufacturing industry who want to advance automation and labor-saving but find the knowledge and cost barriers too high..." Mikasa Trading will introduce solutions that are easy to implement at low cost and have high effectiveness. 【Example of Exhibited Product Lineup】 ■ Collaborative Robot Control Solutions ■ Prototype of Stop Detection Solution ■ AI Camera Solutions for Factories ■ Lenovo PCs for factory edge applications with long-term supply, high reliability, and low cost Please come and find hints to solve your on-site challenges!

FUJI is a leading company in atmospheric pressure plasma devices. In recent years, the introduction of atmospheric pressure plasma as a pre-treatment device to improve adhesive strength and quality has been progressing in manufacturing sites. FUJI's plasma device, Tough Plasma, has world-class processing capabilities and can perform continuous processing at high speeds.

[Instructor] Mr. Takashi Momiyama Incubation Producer, Innovation Strategy Center, Japan Research Institute, Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] From the perspective of resource security and the creation of new markets, the realization of a circular economy for EV batteries is anticipated. However, in our country, there are still numerous challenges, and the majority of EV batteries are flowing overseas along with used EVs. In recent years, protectionist policies have been promoted in various countries, such as the U.S. tariff policies and China's rare earth export regulations, and there are concerns that if our country delays its response, the outflow will accelerate further. In light of this situation, we will analyze the impact of geopolitical risks on the formation of a circular economy domestically, overview what initiatives the government, local governments, and private companies have been advancing in the country, and propose measures deemed necessary to further accelerate the formation of a circular economy. We look forward to the participation of individuals from a wide range of industries who may be involved as suppliers or users in the circular economy of EV batteries.
