Case Study! Introduction of Measurement Sensors for Embedded Devices in Japanese Companies

This is a weighing sensor that achieves onboard measurement for automation applications requiring high resolution (demo unit available).

The ultra-compact WKC weighing sensor from MetraTrado is specially designed for use in automation processes in industrial environments with limited installation space. This sensor achieves high-precision weighing in an instant and can be directly connected to a PLC. Additionally, it can be used in harsh industrial environments thanks to various weighing modes, adjustable filters, and a stability determination menu. 【Features】 ■ Easy integration with standard M12 connector ■ Capable of weighing up to 2,200,000 divisions ■ Ideal for production lines with a model that is also easy to clean *For more details, please request documentation or view the PDF data available for download.

• Scale

A compact design with a width of 25mm that fully integrates EtherNet/IP and PROFINET IO RT measurement sensors (demo unit available).

The WMF series of MetraTron is a slim and compact high-precision weighing sensor specially designed for multi-line automatic networks directly connected to control systems. It can be used as a standalone weighing module or combined with multiple units as a sensor. It can be integrated deep within machinery or equipment, and it can also be integrated into glove boxes where robust equipment that is easy to clean is essential. It features all-direction shock protection ideal for robotic transport, and its dust and water resistance ratings are IP65/IP45.

• Weighing Control

A high-speed, high-precision weighing sensor that is resistant to disturbances such as vibrations and wind, with a minimum display of 1 microgram (demo units available for loan).

The WXS weighing sensor from MetraTrado is designed for high-precision automatic and manual weighing, either embedded in devices and machines or within isolators. Its compact design minimizes the installation area, making it easy to set up the equipment. With extensive overload protection features and robust plug-in connectors, it is adopted across a wide range of industries.

• Weighing Control

Strong against disturbances such as vibrations and wind! High-speed, high-precision embedded platform scale with a resolution of 1/750,000.

This is a high-performance platform scale that can be directly connected to a PLC without a Metra Toledo indicator. It is specially designed for automation. The newly designed weighing cell delivers performance far exceeding that of the conventional K series. The capacity ranges from 3kg to 300kg, for example: a capacity of 300kg with a minimum display of 0.5g is possible.

<Title> Development of Gene Expression Control Technology through RNA Hacking In the latest presentation paper, we have utilized Abby. Associate Professor Yosuke Katsuta from Kumamoto University Graduate School of Advanced Science and Technology, Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (also co-founder of StapleBio), will be giving a presentation in an online seminar. He is working on the development of RNA hacking technology aimed at controlling gene expression by utilizing short nucleic acids named Staple to change the higher-order structure of target mRNA. He will present the latest data focusing on the results of cell experiments and animal experiments in the development of this technology.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.

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 on 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 a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● 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.
