• Vacuum pump

Achieve versatile suction transport for a variety of products and quantities using collaborative robots! Reduce the hassle and cost of changing setups!

This is a vacuum gripper for collaborative robots compliant with ISO/TS 15066. Thanks to its special structure that minimizes air leakage and allows for a large suction volume, it can achieve stable suction and transport even when the entire suction surface is not covered. It is ideal for palletizing/de-palletizing cardboard and bulk transport of packaged products. It comes standard with a pressure switch compatible with IO-Link communication, enabling monitoring of various parameters and contributing to predictive maintenance. The flange that can be directly attached to various collaborative robots is integrated, allowing for easy installation.

• Vacuum Equipment

Achieving top-level suction power with a compact body the size of a business card! A type compatible with energy-saving features and IO-Link communication is also available in the lineup!

The Compact Ejector SCPM series is a space-saving vacuum generator equipped with various functions in a compact body. There are three models available based on functionality, starting with the basic model 'SCPMb' that enables vacuum suction and vacuum release, the 'SCPMc' which includes a display switch capable of showing status monitoring results and energy-saving features, and the high-function model 'SCPMi' that allows for the confirmation of various information such as monitoring results and equipment settings from outside the facility, allowing you to choose according to your application. 【Features】 〇 High-efficiency, ultra-compact vacuum generator the size of a business card → Achieves maximum suction power with minimal space 〇 Simplified wiring design → Reduces clutter from cables and eases wiring work 〇 Energy-saving features included (SCPMc / SCPMi) → Equipped with an air-saving function that reduces compressed air consumption by up to 80% 〇 Up to 16 ejectors can be manifolded → Reduces installation labor and connection component costs with simplified wiring and piping.

A touring system that achieves high precision design and easy assembly!

SXT is a touring system consisting of approximately 150 types of parts. By combining holders for pipes, clamps, and vacuum pads, you can design the hand freely. As a highly expandable modular system, it allows for the creation of optimal shapes tailored to specific applications. Since it consists of simple parts, assembly and modification are also easy. Managing parts individually enables space-saving storage and maintenance of spare parts. The parts are made from lightweight and highly durable 6000 series aluminum, allowing for weight reduction of the hand. This reduces the load on the robot, achieving high-speed and stable transport, contributing to increased takt time.

• Vacuum Equipment

Reduction of "section changes," a versatile robotic hand that accommodates a wide range of industries.

The FXP/FMP series universal vacuum grippers are large robotic hands that use sponge or suction pads on the gripping surface. They are very effective for handling workpieces with gaps that are difficult to grip with vacuum pads, workpieces that are not positioned accurately, and for bulk transport of various sizes of workpieces. They are used mounted on industrial robots such as press transfer robots and palletizing robots. The configuration of the vacuum gripper allows for the selection of optimal specifications according to individual applications, including the presence or absence of a vacuum generator, the type of gripping surface, gripper size, and valve type.

[Instructor] Hiroto Hayashi, Attorney at Law, New York State, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto Law Firm, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] Recently, batteries are expected to serve as a balancing power source for the realization of renewable energy as a primary power source. Due to changes in the business environment brought about by market development and government support measures, opportunities in the battery business are expanding. For grid-connected batteries, there are multiple options for long-term decarbonization power source auctions, tolling models, and merchant models, and the points of project development vary depending on the offtake method. Additionally, with the spread of the FIP system, the installation of batteries alongside renewable energy generation facilities is also progressing. In this lecture, we will explain the systems related to batteries, as well as key points for contract creation and negotiation, and financing necessary to steadily advance projects. We will also outline the challenges and prospects for project development and project finance formation according to each offtake scheme.

[Lecturer] Hideo Yamada, Ph.D. Honorary Professor, Waseda University Visiting Professor, Business Breakthrough University Graduate School [Key Lecture Content] Companies face various trade-offs (dilemmas) such as quality vs. cost, inventory levels vs. service levels, and standardization vs. differentiation. Traditionally, companies have responded to trade-offs by (1) finding a balance or (2) prioritizing one over the other. However, this does not lead to fundamental solutions. In this lecture, I will propose a third method that is neither balancing nor prioritizing. Using case studies from over 50 Japanese companies, I will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner. If we can turn long-standing trade-offs into trade-ons (coexistence), business opportunities will arise. [Lecture Topics] 1. What is a trade-off? 2. Trade-offs between customers and companies 3. Trade-offs within companies 4. Trade-offs within customers 5. How to turn trade-offs into trade-ons 6. Steps for exploration 7. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Lecturers] Corporate Partner, Nishimura & Asahi Law Office Osaka, Mr. Satoshi Niki Associate, Nishimura & Asahi Law Office - Foreign Law Joint Enterprise, Mr. Shu Numazawa [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the diversification of defense cooperation and advancements in dual-use technology have significantly changed the management and international sharing of advanced technologies. This lecture will clarify the basic structure of Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement and the significance of "similar treatment," while explaining the institutional transformation brought about by the introduction of the non-public patent application system under the Economic Security Promotion Act. Furthermore, considering the relationship between this system and the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement, we will examine how to reposition the patent applications and secrecy management of defense-related technologies within the context of expanding international joint research and multilateral defense cooperation. [Lecture Items] 1. Diversification of defense cooperation and advancements in dual-use technology 2. Basic structure of Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement 3. Practical application of "similar treatment" 4. Introduction of the non-public patent system (Economic Security Promotion Act) 5. Relationship between the non-public patent system and Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement 6. Expansion of international joint research and reevaluation of Article 3 7.
