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.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I’m worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask that customers arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
