This time, we will focus on stamping processes and explain a simple method for selecting materials suitable for stamping for designers.

Rational material selection enables the design of products that are easy to manufacture, leading to reduced costs due to fewer processes, improved productivity during mass production, and enhanced reliability and durability of the products. Designs with high forming difficulty will increase material and processing costs. Indicators of material properties for evaluating materials suitable for stamping include tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, hardness, Erichsen value, limiting drawing ratio, and conical cup value. However, two specific characteristic values that can directly evaluate formability are as follows: 1. The n-value representing work hardening characteristics 2. The r-value (Rankford value) representing anisotropy The n-value and r-value are characteristic values that directly relate to the quality of actual stamping processes, and this evaluation allows for the selection of appropriate materials. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

This document explains the key points of material selection.

In the process of spring design, once the stress level of the required material is determined, it is necessary to select a material that possesses those characteristics, and an understanding of the properties of the material is crucial.

This is a collection of examples of drawing processes manufactured with progressive drawing dies using automatic press processing! Shall we solve your problems with drawing processes together?

A drawing die refers to a type of mold used in a processing method that creates various shapes of bottomed containers, such as cylinders, rectangular tubes, and cones, from a single thin sheet of metal. A characteristic feature of the formed products is that they have no seams. It is said to be the highest level of press processing. We would like to introduce a case study using our progressive die that has actually solved customer problems! Our products are primarily made using automatic press processing, ensuring stable quality, cost performance, and short delivery times, allowing us to meet customer demands. Please feel free to download it.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

On our company's website introducing vehicle detection sensors, you can easily find products that meet your needs from three categories: "Purpose of Use," "Location of Use," and "Product List." [Introduction to Vehicle Detection Sensors] The sensors detect the passage of vehicles and notify you with a rotating light or switch the display of parking availability. They contribute to safe driving within parking lots and smooth management operations. They are used in various areas, from coin parking to large-scale parking lots. We will continue to improve our webpage to provide information about Hotron's "Vehicle Detection Sensors."

In facilities operating nurse call systems, we have made the bed exit sensor wireless, allowing it to notify in conjunction with the nurse call system. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. This helps prevent accidents caused by falls, slips, or wandering, contributing to the efficiency of medical operations. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ The bed exit sensor notifies wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call system. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with a single receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The "Hotron Non-Contact Switch" allows you to open and close doors without directly touching door knobs or switches, making it hygienic! You can choose from two types: the "Hand Wave Sensor," which only requires you to wave your hand, and the "Foot Switch," which only requires you to place your foot in front of it. It reduces the risk of virus and bacteria transmission in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing facilities. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus transmission by allowing door operation without contact ○ A wide variety of options to choose from based on application and location ○ Ideal for places where hygiene is a priority, such as food factories and medical facilities ○ Prevents unnecessary detection due to the switch mechanism 【Product Lineup】 ■ Hand Wave Sensor Series ○ Exposed waterproof type, front, down, and side-facing types "PF-R5" ○ Exposed type, front-facing type "PF-R1" ○ Embedded type, front-facing type "PF-U2" ○ Exposed type, downward wide type "PF-R4" ■ Foot Switch Series ○ Slim type with wide opening, vertical beam type "PF-01S" ○ Slim type with wide opening, horizontal beam type "PF-03S" ○ Standard type, horizontal beam type "PF-05" ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.
