From May 26 (Wednesday) to 28 (Friday), 2021, we will be exhibiting examples of metal powder applications for sintered transmission gears and SMC automotive motor cores at the "Automotive Technology Exhibition 2021" held at Pacifico Yokohama.

High-load sintered gears produced by powder metallurgy can shorten the gear manufacturing process to less than 1/4, providing a new option that not only reduces size and weight but also improves gear characteristics.

The technology of powder metallurgy (PM) is widely adopted in various fields, including the automotive industry, as a sustainable "green" technology with a high material utilization rate (yield) close to 100% and low total energy consumption. By optimizing materials, process conditions, and design, it enables significant reductions in the number of steps previously required for processes such as gear cutting from steel, as well as lightweight and compact gear designs. Additionally, it allows for improvements in gear characteristics such as NVH, along with the addition of desired high functionality. 【Features】 - Elimination of gear cutting and hobbing allows for more than a 25% reduction in process time. - Significant reduction in the number of manufacturing equipment and installation area is possible. - Over 20% weight reduction can be achieved without additional processing steps such as hollowing or thinning. - A 15% reduction in bending and impact stress is possible with shape designs that are difficult with conventional methods. - Shape features such as marking can be added without any additional processes. - Integrated forming of gears and synchro cones can eliminate welding and preliminary processing steps. 【Exhibition Information】 Exhibition Name: 2021 Automotive Technology Exhibition Date: May 24 (Wed) to May 26 (Fri), 2021, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (until 5:00 PM on the final day) Venue: Pacifico Yokohama Exhibition Hall (Booth Number: 160)

[Instructor] Shinichi Mori, President of Human Power Research LLC [Key Lecture Content] When you hear "financial analysis," it sounds difficult and hard to understand, doesn't it? Are you struggling with that? In a future where most jobs will be replaced by AI, the only work left for humans will be "thinking jobs" such as planning and proposals. For future business professionals, it is essential to hone their management sense to achieve results in "thinking jobs," and financial analysis skills are indeed indispensable. In this seminar, the instructor, a professional in debt collection, will focus on providing clear explanations of truly useful financial analysis. Additionally, it will not just be lectures; participants will also learn practically through work (calculation exercises).

[Speaker] Mr. Kazutoshi Arai, Representative of Alpha Marketing Corporation [Lecture Topics] 1. Correct knowledge and thinking methods that lead to success 2. How to create a practical organization 3. Generating business ideas and thinking methods for value creation 4. Defining business and building a business model 5. How to create a risk management-based business plan 6. Business strategies that serve as a compass to success 7. Several important points not to be forgotten 8. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Instructor] Koichi Sato, Representative Employee / Certified Social Insurance Labor Consultant, HR Plus Social Insurance Labor Consultant Corporation [Overview (Objective)] Recently, there has been an increase in employees experiencing mental health issues, and HR personnel and managers are overwhelmed with the need to address these situations. Many of these issues stem from personal illnesses, but there has also been a rise in claims for workers' compensation, with the number of benefit decisions remaining high in recent years. In this context, measures against harassment and excessive labor, which affect mental health, are being addressed through the revision of the "Criteria for Recognizing Mental Disorders Due to Psychological Stress" and the Labor Safety and Health Act. This seminar will comprehensively and clearly explain the basics of laws related to mental health, taking into account the latest legal trends and challenges, as well as practical points that HR personnel and managers should know when dealing with employees experiencing mental health issues.
