I will present at the 67th Rheology Discussion Meeting.

The measurement of low viscosity substances can be done with high precision. Additionally, by using patented bearing technology, it achieves compactness and low cost. Clean air management is also unnecessary.

This is a rheometer suitable for rheological measurements of low-viscosity liquids, employing a double cylindrical method with an outer cylinder rotation (capable of measuring viscosity and elasticity). The torque measurement section features a practical elastic hinge bearing developed by AIST, achieving high-sensitivity torque measurement without using air bearings. This eliminates the need for clean air management, allowing for more flexible installation locations. It also contributes to CO2 reduction. Additionally, it is easy to maintain and offers advantages in size and cost. New measurement method: Dynamic viscoelastic measurements can be performed under steady flow conditions. Please give it a try. 【Features】 - Outer cylinder rotation, inner cylinder detection method with a separated drive and detection axis (strain-controlled type) - Easy sampling due to the upper support method for inner and outer cylinders - The standard glass outer cylinder allows observation of the sample's condition from the outside during measurement - The standard sample volume is relatively small, around 4ml (minimum approximately 2.5ml) - Various measurements, including dynamic measurements, can be easily performed *For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Ideal for measuring the friction coefficient of filaments, hair, and more! A measurement device that can be easily and reproducibly used.

The friction coefficient meter "NRF Series" is a device for measuring the friction coefficient when filaments, tapes, hair, etc., come into friction with other materials, as well as for measuring the temporal changes in the friction coefficient due to the wear of the sample or the material being rubbed. It allows for variable friction speeds and sample tension, and measurements can be taken by changing the material being rubbed as needed. The measurement of the friction coefficient of filaments, fibers, hair, etc., can be easily and reproducibly performed by anyone. The measurement is simply done by applying the sample and rotating the pulley at a specified speed. 【Features】 ○ For samples with scales, such as hair, it can measure the friction coefficient when the friction direction (rotation direction) is changed. ○ The effect of lubricants and other factors on friction or wear can be measured. ○ Wear tests can be conducted. ○ The influence of the material and processing precision of pulleys, etc., on the same sample can be understood. ○ The force applied to the pulley shaft can be measured. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

Viscosity and yield value measurement is possible! Axial type viscometer for printing inks.

The "L-A type viscometer (compliant with JIS K5701-1-2000)" is a so-called axial type viscometer with a shaft that moves in the length direction and has a concentric cylindrical shape. It can measure viscosity and yield value, which are important parameters for quality control of high-viscosity substances such as printing inks and varnishes. Shear rate and shear stress can be easily expressed through calculations. 【Features】 ○ Very easy to operate ○ The sample is placed in the gap between a temperature-controlled ring and a rod with applied load ○ Viscosity and yield value can be measured by measuring the descent time over a specified distance *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

Ideal for measuring the viscosity and flow of non-Newtonian fluids! Cone-plate viscometer.

The "NRM-200 Series" is a rotational viscometer with a cone plate (standard) configuration. The measured data can be subjected to theoretical analysis, making it suitable for viscosity and flow measurements of non-Newtonian liquids. Additionally, it allows for stable viscosity measurements at high shear rates, enabling flow measurements that correspond to actual working conditions in coating, spraying, and printing. 【Features】 - The shear rate can be measured consistently at any part of the sample, allowing for theoretical calculations of the measurement data. - Shear rates of up to 18,000 s⁻¹ can be achieved (when using 1,000 RPM). - The measurement sample volume is less than 1 mℓ. - The gap between the cone and plate is set using an electrical sensing method and a micro-adjustment mechanism. - The sample history prior to measurement can be controlled programmatically. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.*

The particle visualization technology developed under our brand "ViEST" has a very high level of detection sensitivity, capable of visualizing the suspended or adhered states of micro and nano-sized particles in real time. We are engaged in the sale of visualization systems and contract services for evaluation (investigating particles and airflow in production processes, inside and outside manufacturing equipment, evaluating the performance of cleaning products, proposing yield improvement measures, etc.) both domestically and internationally. In manufacturing environments, invisible fine foreign substances, dust generation, particle adhesion due to static electricity, and airflow disturbances can cause quality defects and reduced yield. Our company clarifies these contamination factors through visualization technology and provides consistent support from identifying the source of the problem to considering and confirming improvement measures. Do you have any of the following concerns? - Unable to identify the cause of foreign matter contamination - Want to check airflow and cleanliness in clean rooms - Want to understand dust generation from manufacturing equipment and transport systems - Want to reduce particle adhesion to films and substrates - Want to improve contamination that leads to reduced yield

We will introduce the modeling features that utilize drawings through "2D×3D integration," which allows for easy creation of 3D models from 2D drawings, as well as an efficient integration function that projects 3D assembly data onto assembly and part drawings in bulk, automatically generating 2D drawings. Additionally, you will be able to see through a live demo how seamlessly utilizing 2D and 3D can lead to improved design efficiency, reduced errors, and increased overall productivity in business operations.

[Instructor] Koichi Sato, Representative Partner / Certified Social Insurance and Labor Consultant, HR Plus Social Insurance and Labor Consultant Corporation [Key Lecture Content] Recently, approximately 40% of the labor force consists of non-regular employees, and the declining birthrate is progressing due to insufficient income. In response, the government has been making successive legal revisions, including the indefinite conversion rule and the so-called "equal pay for equal work." Additionally, against the backdrop of a recent labor shortage, there has been an increase in cases of employing contractors and freelancers, which has raised the risk of disguised contracting due to inappropriate practices. This course will touch on the contents of the "Equal Pay for Equal Work Guidelines," which are scheduled to be revised in October this year, and will also organize the latest "current situation" for each employment category of non-regular employees.

In recent years, have you noticed an increase in corrective recommendations regarding "free storage of molds"? Cases where molds are stored for long periods without orders or where usage records cannot be confirmed are increasingly viewed as problematic from the perspective of the Subcontract Act (Act on the Proper Transaction of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises). In fact, many companies may feel uneasy about management situations such as "not knowing where they are" or "not knowing when they were last used." Therefore, we will hold a webinar to explain practical methods for managing loaned molds as a response to these corrective recommendations. ✅ Recommended for: - Those who feel uneasy about the management status of loaned molds - Those who want to strengthen operations in preparation for legal compliance (Subcontract Act) - Those who have challenges in establishing mold management rules with business partners - Those who want to visualize the location, usage history, and evidence management of molds In this webinar, we will not only introduce management methods but also clearly explain how to advance mold management at a practical operational level. Now is the perfect opportunity to prepare for risks while you still think "it's okay." If you have any interest, please join us.
