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.

On September 15, 2026, we issued a press release regarding the wooden lightweight sheet "Hyper CLT Sheet." The Hyper CLT Sheet is a civil engineering sheet that utilizes CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) stacked in an orthogonal direction. It can be used in various locations such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 version weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers environmental benefits such as reducing glare and metallic sounds typical of wood, as well as CO2 fixation. Furthermore, it can be proposed for the use of new technologies in public works as a **registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism "TH-250021-A."** Through this press release, we aim to expand the new wooden lightweight sheet that combines wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT to more construction sites.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for 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! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "HA-T Series" is an energy-saving automatic door sensor that opens only for those who wish to enter, whether on a busy street or in a narrow passageway. The automatic door opens simply by bringing your hand close, addressing hygiene concerns even in facilities used by a large number of people. You can choose between "Non-vision Mount Type/HA-T401" and "Non-vision Built-in Type/HA-T520" depending on the application and installation location. 【Recommended for such places!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy corridor ☑ Presence of counters or signs near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow passages ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors 【Features】 ● Adaptable to various door types with four detection spot settings ● Reduces unnecessary opening and closing, contributing to energy-saving by minimizing wasteful power consumption ● Equipped with a light touch function, allowing the door to open and close just by waving your hand, ensuring hygiene ● Can also be used as a wide detection range non-vision infrared sensor ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

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