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] Hideo Yamamoto, President and CEO of DIVE COMPASS Inc. [Key Message] "Consumers will no longer be at the end of the power system." By reconfiguring the energy landscape starting from the "consumer" rather than viewing renewable energy, electricity retail, PPA, storage batteries, EVs, VPP, and DSF as separate businesses, there is potential to create new energy businesses in Japan. This presentation will not only introduce the latest trends in Europe but will also consider future market changes and business opportunities from the perspective of "what can be commercialized next in the Japanese market." [Presentation Items] 1. Why consider the electricity market from the consumer's perspective now? 2. Five market changes confirmed at FLEXCON 2026 on the front lines of European DSF 3. The current state of the Japanese DSF market seen through comparison with Europe 4. New consumer-centric energy businesses emerging in Japan 5. Who will hold the connection with consumers by 2030? 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

Are you struggling with the fact that even after raising recruitment costs and hourly wages, on-site personnel are not sticking around? The true causes of turnover lie in "fatigue from heavy labor" and "discomfort in the work environment." However, improving the entire facility or fully automating operations involves enormous initial investments and is not realistic. In this seminar, we will reveal three practical solutions to create a "preferred workplace" based on a case study that reduced investment costs by approximately 20% compared to traditional proposals, without relying on expensive renovations or endless wage increases. The key lies in the integrated design of "construction and equipment" and "robotics." By thoroughly eliminating unnecessary capital investments, we can dramatically reduce the burden on the workforce and enhance productivity. As a company that also engages in outsourcing, we will thoroughly explain the "three principles" that support integrated design, using actual improvement cases. This content is a must-see for executives and site managers who want to fundamentally solve labor shortages within their budgets. [Recommended for] - Companies that continue to face turnover and recruitment difficulties despite raising wages and recruitment costs. - Site managers and executives who considered full building air conditioning or complete automation but abandoned the idea due to high costs. - Site managers and executives who want to balance investment restraint and productivity improvement through relocation or renovations.

We will be exhibiting at the "26th Business Fair" hosted by Seibu Shinkin Bank, which will be held on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at the Triangle Plaza in Shinjuku Sumitomo Building! This event is a corporate exhibition and matching event aimed at expanding business opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises.
