Invitation to the exhibition "GrindTec 2018"

Equipped with a high-speed spindle that can reach up to 42,000 RPM as standard for simultaneous 5-axis control machining! [Video available] [Exhibiting at EMO 2025]

The milling machines manufactured by Germany's ROEDERS company achieve high precision and high surface roughness in a shorter time for both rough and finish machining through high-speed milling technology. The linear axes are driven by linear motors on all axes with roller guides, while the rotary and tilting axes are positioned with high speed and precision using direct drive (torque motors). In the specifications of the milling and grinding center, a series of processes can be performed with one chuck, including milling, jig grinding, and on-machine measurement using 3D models, achieving "high precision machining," "reduction of setup time," "reduction of machine installation area," and "labor saving." With the automation options, further labor savings are realized, and the streamlined loading/unloading operations facilitate stable production planning. **Processing Targets:** Fine blanking molds, optical components/molds such as lenses, reflectors, carbide punches, copper electrodes, carbon electrodes, blow molds, glass molds, impellers, precision molds, dental prosthetics, medical devices. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog for further information.*

Gekkel manufactured grinding stone head traveling type flat grinding machine for blade sharpening. The self-propelled grinding stone head achieves space-saving.

Gekkel's surface grinding machines achieve numerous excellent performances through their extremely unique structure and have gained global recognition. Particularly in the grinding processing industry for long materials, they boast an exclusive share not only in iron and non-ferrous metals but also in the processing of glass and ceramics. For ultra-finishing of grinding surfaces, a secondary grinding wheel head is mounted on the main grinding wheel, which is used for knife-edge lapping and also for grinding the V-groove surfaces of linear guides.

A single machine that enables everything from 5-axis milling to jig grinding and inspection! Reduces setup time and costs! Capable of processing high-hardness materials [Video available].

The high-speed milling machine "RXP" manufactured by the German company Redars features all-axis linear motor drive and linear guide specifications, ensuring high-precision machining without aging changes. The higher models also offer a specification with linear motor drive and hydrostatic guide. It comes standard with a high-speed spindle, enabling direct milling of high-hardness materials with HRC60 or higher. Without the need to change the chuck, a series of processes from milling to jig grinding and on-machine measurement can be performed, achieving a surface roughness of Ra<0.005μm. By completing the entire process without changing the workpiece, it realizes "reduction of machine installation area," "reduction of labor costs," and "reduction of setup time." 【Features】 - Equipped with a high-performance cooling system in the drive unit to prevent accuracy degradation due to heat. - Standard on-machine measurement system for cutting tools. - Equipped with a dressing unit, grinding wheel diameter measurement unit, and fire extinguisher inside the machine. - Includes a touch probe, allowing for direct measurement of the workpiece after processing. 【Machining Targets】 Fine blanking molds, optical components/molds such as lenses, reflectors, carbide punches, copper electrodes, carbon electrodes, blow molds, glass molds, impellers, precision molds, dental prosthetics, medical devices. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog to view.

Automatic grinding wheel exchange system with a modular design that allows for additional functions based on individual specifications.

In the 335 linear, all CNC 5-axis machines are equipped with direct drives, making them suitable not only for conventional tool grinding but also for oscillation grinding. The adoption of linear motor technology enables this machine to achieve excellent dynamic performance and very high speeds on linear axes. This, in turn, increases the productivity of multi-axis linear CNC grinding. The benefits are clear. When machining high-demand profile shapes, there is no need to use expensive profile grinding wheels. This is particularly true for small batches, where the high cost of grinding wheels makes the process uneconomical. Using simple-shaped grinding wheels on the 335 linear for multi-axis linear CNC grinding is more advantageous and flexible. It allows for complete and economical processing of demanding tasks. Especially when using a grinding wheel changer equipped with five holders, high flexibility is achieved.

Recently, we held technical training sessions for the MilkoScan FT3 at five locations nationwide. In this training, we provided a wide range of useful information for operating the equipment, including explanations of the principles and structure of the device, how to create measurement products, daily maintenance, and how to respond to issues when they arise. Additionally, this year we introduced new methods for utilizing digital services (such as FossCalibrator and IQX) and also prepared hands-on sessions where participants could experience operating the equipment using a PC. Thank you to everyone who participated. Please feel free to contact us with any questions after the training. ------- At Foss Japan, in addition to training sessions and workshops to ensure you can use our equipment with confidence, we hold many events throughout the year. In seminars and open houses tailored to specific industries and analytical techniques, we showcase Foss's latest analytical solutions. -------

[Lecturers] EY Strategy and Consulting Co., Ltd. Infrastructure Advisory Partner Kenichiro Fukuda Strategy Partner Ken Fujiyama Infrastructure Advisory Director Takashi Matsumura [Key Lecture Content] The water supply and sewage business is facing structural challenges such as facility aging, a shortage of workforce, and a decrease in revenue due to population decline. The government is promoting the introduction of Water PPPs, regional consolidation, and the digital transformation of water supply and sewage systems, marking a significant turning point in the way these businesses are operated. This change is expanding business opportunities for private companies in various areas, including operation and maintenance, pipeline renewal, digital technology, and the utilization of smart meters and data. Additionally, as a means of expanding business domains and enhancing competitiveness, there has been an increase in capital and operational partnerships and M&A between companies, leading to industry restructuring. In this seminar, based on the latest trends in policy and the market, we will introduce business strategies for private companies to enter and expand in the water supply and sewage market, including the use of M&A and capital operational partnerships, drawing on achievements from both public and private support.
