• 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

The ease of use of the Analog Load Cell PinMount(tm) has been maintained while achieving digitization.

The Metra Toledo compression-type weighing module is designed to be installed under the legs of the structure being installed, as well as on mounting brackets, support beams, and other locations. The load cell of the weighing module is compressed by the weight being measured, causing the output signal to change. We offer products that meet the needs of various static and dynamic weighing applications with a wide range of capacities.

• Weight related measuring instruments

Adopts POWERCELL digital load cell technology (OIML C3, C6, C10). Achieves the reliability necessary for consistent batch processing.

The Metra Toledo tank weighing unit "PowerMount SWB605" features an automatic digital compensation function that ensures sustained high measurement accuracy, providing exceptional precision and reliability. It is robust and easy to install due to its connection via a daisy chain, eliminating the need for a "calculation box," which can be a weak point in the system.

• Weight related measuring instruments

Adopts POWERCELL digital load cell technology (OIML C3). Achieves the reliability necessary for consistent batch processing.

The tank weighing unit "MultiMount SWB805" from Metra-Tredo is a tank weighing unit designed with hygiene in mind. Thanks to its automatic digital compensation feature, it maintains a high level of weighing accuracy, providing exceptional precision and reliability. It is robust and easy to install because it connects via a daisy chain, eliminating the need for a "calculation box," which can often be a weak point in the system.

• Weight related measuring instruments

A mobile floor scale with an ultra-low floor design that makes loading and unloading cargo easy.

The low-profile mobile floor scale "DeckMate" from Metra Toledo is designed for weighing and filling in harsh and hygienic environments. It excels in settings related to chemicals, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. Models with different sizes and capacities are also available. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

• Weight related measuring instruments

No need for pit excavation work! Ultra-thin pitless floor scale with intrinsically safe explosion-proof structure.

The Metra Toledo ultra-low pitless platform scale PUA series does not require excavation work for a pit, making it easy to load and unload in warehouses, manufacturing sites, and weighing locations.

Contec has added a BTO menu for the Windows 11-based embedded OS - Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 to its industrial computer "MR4310 series" and has started accepting orders.

Contec has developed the Ethernet wireless converters "RP-WAH-SR12" and "RP-WAH-SR22," which utilize 920MHz sub-gigahertz wireless (IEEE 802.11ah) to enable Ethernet communication wirelessly even at distances of up to 1 km. Sales began on August 21, 2025. The new products are compact IEEE 802.11ah compliant wireless LAN converters that can be installed in various locations. The new Wi-Fi standard "IEEE 802.11ah," which utilizes sub-gigahertz wireless communication, became available in Japan in September 2022. It operates in the 920MHz band without the need for a license and can be used outdoors. Compared to conventional 920MHz wireless communication, it enables high-speed communication and the establishment of long-distance networks, making it expected to be utilized in large factories, plants, and farms. The new Ethernet wireless converters are designed to be lightweight and compact, allowing for installation in various locations such as walls and DIN rails with the included mounting brackets. Additionally, they support external antennas, enabling the construction of flexible wireless LAN systems.

The new product is a super compact business computer featuring the Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 5 processor 125U (Series 1, Meteor Lake-U). It is equipped with "Intel(R) AI Boost," which integrates an NPU into the CPU, allowing for the execution of AI functions such as image recognition and voice processing at high speed and low power consumption while reducing the load on the CPU and GPU. With ultra-compact dimensions of 150(W) × 150(D) × 33(H) mm, it comes with a vertical stand and VESA mounting brackets, enabling installation in tight spaces on desks, behind displays, or inside equipment without restriction. It adopts a BTO (Build to Order) method that allows customers to freely choose memory capacity, storage, OS, and more, enabling the order of a PC with specifications optimal for their needs and budget starting from just one unit.

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 without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be made even 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.
