We will be exhibiting at the 'Japan Manufacturing World 2018 22nd Mechanical Components Technology Exhibition (M-Tech)!'

~Easily and economically create high-quality beads~ At the Machine Elements Technology Exhibition, we will demonstrate automatic welding by equipping robots with the new technology arc TIG process.

■High Welding Speed - The concentrated arc creates a high energy density at the electrode tip, improving welding speed. - The narrowed arc allows for a welding speed that is twice that of conventional TIG welding. ■High Operability - The electrode can be used for a long time, and replacing and regrinding the electrode is easy. - Compared to plasma welding, there are fewer welding parameter settings, making operation simple. - Welding is possible in horizontal and vertical positions, in addition to downward. ■High Economic Efficiency - High welding quality is achieved through the TIG process. - Welding can be done without gaps, eliminating the need for backing bars. - The number of layers is reduced, significantly shortening welding construction time. - Reducing the amount of welding metal lowers costs for wire, gas, electricity, and consumables.

High-speed operation of robots is possible! A magnetic gripper equipped with powerful holding force and safety.

The "Magnet Gripper for Industrial Robots" is adopted by leading automobile manufacturers and integrators worldwide for applications in the white body of automobile manufacturing and hoist transportation. By using compressed air to switch the magnetic force on and off, it significantly reduces air consumption compared to vacuum grippers. Due to its high magnetic flux density, it exhibits strong holding power even on air gaps and rounded surfaces such as rust and painted areas. 【Features】 ■ Enables high-speed operation of robots with powerful gripping ■ Minimizes robot paths ■ Lightweight and compact, allowing for reduced weight and increased efficiency of EOAT ■ Capable of gripping from one side only, making fixture design easier compared to mechanical grippers ■ The use of permanent magnets eliminates the risk of workpiece drop even when the power supply is cut off *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Safe and efficient grinding operations! Free yourself from the tough, dirty, and dangerous aspects of grinder work!

The "AK Grinder" is a grinding device equipped with an automatic tracing function that automatically grinds while constantly controlling the pressing pressure of the grinder to a fixed level. The pressing pressure can be set arbitrarily, making it suitable for a wide range of tasks from heavy cutting to light cutting such as paint removal. Additionally, even in the presence of welding distortions, it automatically follows the grinding area, resulting in a uniform finish. Since its development 30 years ago, it has been delivered in large quantities and has received high praise. 【Features】 ■ Automatic operation with simple controls ■ Automatically and accurately follows even with uneven deformations ■ Automatically stops when the load increases to prevent damage to the grinding wheel and grinder burn ■ High-frequency control system allows for the use of φ180 mm and φ100 mm grinding wheels ■ Capable of high-speed grinding at 45 to 60 grams per minute even for grinding welding beads of steel and stainless steel *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Speaker] Kazuharu Yamamoto Partner Expert, Roland Berger Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] In the automotive industry, the topic of EVs is ever-present. The advancement and promotion of EVs is a significant goal for achieving carbon neutrality (CN). On the other hand, the realization of CN and the progress of EVs are inseparable topics related to the realization of a circular economy (CE). In this lecture, I will present an overview of CE and CN, discuss the mechanisms of CE progressing in Europe, and the reverse supply chain, while also addressing the expansion of EVs and charging infrastructure from a consumer perspective. [Lecture Items] 1. Overview of CE and CN in the automotive industry and EVs 2. Mechanisms for achieving CE in Europe 3. Expansion of EVs and charging infrastructure (Characteristics of Japan within the global context) 4. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Mitsune Shirasawa, Partner Attorney at TMI General Legal Practice [Key Lecture Content] The regulations that must be complied with when implementing payment businesses are defined by various laws, and it is common for the applicable laws to change due to subtle differences in the schemes adopted. Therefore, when building a business related to payments, it is essential to have not only an understanding of individual laws but also a cross-sectional understanding of how these laws interact with each other. Additionally, recent developments such as the categorization of money transfer businesses, the introduction of regulations regarding stablecoins, the clarification of payment collection services, and the emergence of new schemes like BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) and BPSP (Business Payment Service Provider) have led to significant advancements and complexities in payment-related businesses. Thus, this seminar will provide a comprehensive explanation of the current regulations surrounding payment businesses and their practical responses. [Lecture Topics] 1. The environment surrounding payment legislation 2. Keywords related to payment and regulatory compliance 3. The overall picture of laws and regulations surrounding payments 4.
