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.

● 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. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

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 "Mechanical Stitch 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 a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling and tripping of wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worry about forgetting to turn on the switch after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Want to be notified of bed exit even from a location away from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting to a wireless set linked to the nurse call system! Our nurse call linked wireless set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed, alleviating concerns about tripping and falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations away from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.
