Stable technology usable in space!! Reduction of heat loss!! Equipped with maintenance-free, long-life capacitors, Uninterruptible Power Supply [UPS-J Series]

Modularization of capacitors, which was difficult with conventional technology... The reason is the voltage variation between each capacitor due to differences in temperature environments, internal resistance, and capacity differences. The JAXA voltage equalization technology equipped in the UPS-J series overcomes the shortcomings of conventional technology and enables voltage equalization of each cell. Moreover, since it is controlled using semiconductor switches, the configuration is very simple. Its simplicity also leads to high reliability and reduced thermal loss. Long lifespan and reliability are a fusion of technology that can be used in outer space. **Features of the UPS-J Series** ● Equipped with electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC) ● No need for capacitor-specific 'control circuit design' ● Fanless/Heaterless (-20°C to 60°C) ● No momentary interruption ● Automatic recovery ● No noise, no dust generation ● JAXA patented technology circuit (Equipped in both box type and board type) ● Bypass operation function ● Alarm function ● External reset function (equipped in box type) * Allows resetting of connected devices without going on-site * For more details, please check the 'Catalog Download' * Feel free to consult us for product searches and inquiries.

Long lifespan, maintenance-free!! Fanless and heaterless even in high temperatures and extreme cold!! Rack mount compatible box type.

The "Capacitor UPS-J Series" uninterruptible power supply equipped with electric double-layer capacitors has less capacity degradation and lifespan deterioration due to over-discharge and repeated discharges, so there is no need to replace devices even after long power outages. Additionally, it does not use consumable parts that are subject to lifespan deterioration. Unlike batteries that utilize chemical reactions involving heavy metals like lead or cadmium, it employs an environmentally friendly device (electric double-layer capacitor). It contributes to power outage measures in harsh environments (operating from -20°C to 60°C) and in locations where maintenance is difficult (such as remote areas or high altitudes). 【Features of the BOX Type】 ● Equipped with electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC) ● No need for capacitor-specific "control circuit design" ● Fanless/Heaterless (operating from -20°C to 60°C) ● No momentary interruption ● Automatic recovery ● No noise and no dust generation ● JAXA patented technology circuit ● Bypass operation function ● Alarm function ● External reset function (allows resetting connected devices without going on-site) * For more details, please check the "Catalog Download." * Feel free to consult us regarding custom options.

• Power storage device

No limit on charge and discharge cycles! No special design required for capacitors! No PCB assembly needed! 'Palm-sized micro UPS-J'

Optimal for connection with specific low-power wireless and sensors when connected to solar cells. The smallest version of an uninterruptible power supply/independent power source equipped with an electric double-layer capacitor. Palm-sized 【micro UPS-J】 Due to minimal capacity reduction and lifespan degradation from over-discharge and repeated discharges, there is almost no concern about device deterioration even when the stored capacity is at zero for extended periods. Unlike batteries that utilize chemical reactions involving heavy metals like lead or cadmium, it employs an environmentally friendly device (electric double-layer capacitor). It contributes to use in harsh environments (operating from -20°C to 60°C) and in locations where maintenance is difficult (such as remote areas or high altitudes). 【Features of micro UPS-J】 ● Equipped with electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) ● No need for 'control circuit design' specific to capacitors ● Installation direction 360° ● Fanless/Heaterless (operating from -20°C to 60°C) ● Expected lifespan (over 10 years at 35°C or below) * For more details, please check the 'Catalog Download' * Free rental and paid samples are also available * Feel free to consult us for product searches and inquiries.

● 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.

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 to 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 you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.

A "non-contact switch" that allows you to open and close doors simply by waving your hand, without directly touching the doorknob or switch! By adopting microwave technology, the risk of malfunction due to condensation in environments with temperature differences, such as cold storage warehouses, is significantly reduced. It reduces the risk of virus and bacterial infections in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, hospitals, nursing facilities, and restaurant kitchens. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus infection by allowing door operation without contact ○ Waterproof and dustproof (IP55 design), allowing the main unit to be washed with water (note: the wall surface (back side) is not applicable) ○ LED display and response sound allow for easy confirmation of detection status ○ Two pattern settings for one-shot and latch output are possible ○ The thinnest in the industry! Only 22mm thick! ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

The non-contact beam touch sensor "HA-T401/HA-T520" has a compact detection range, making it an ideal automatic door sensor for installation on automatic doors facing narrow corridors or busy streets. Depending on the application and installation location, you can choose between "non-vision mounting type" and "non-vision built-in type." 【Features】 ● With the beam touch sensor, you can open and close the automatic door simply by bringing your hand close without touching it, ensuring hygiene. ● Depending on the installation environment, such as single sliding or bi-parting doors, the detection range can be set in four ways: left, center, right, with 4 spots and 12 spots settings. ● Two types of activation row settings are available to reduce unnecessary opening and closing of the automatic door due to cross traffic, contributing to energy-saving effects. ● The touch switch and infrared sensor are integrated, allowing for a switch between beam touch and infrared sensor modes with a single model. 【Recommended for such places!】 ☑ Entrances facing busy corridors ☑ Counters or signs near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow corridors ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
