Notice of the Hardness Tester Trade-In Campaign!!

<Easy operation with a touchscreen> All-in-one hardness testing solution

◆【Same-Day Service】 Repairs and Calibration Available Domestically with FTS◆ The Echo Chip 550 is a next-generation model that has further evolved based on the know-how of the previous Echo Chip series. It supports a wide range of hardness scales, and its more compact portable design makes it suitable for various measurement locations, including on-site, in factories, and in laboratories. By exchanging the impact device, it can accommodate a diverse range of materials and shapes. The Echo Chip 550 can easily handle hardness measurements such as HL (Leeb), HV (Vickers), HB (Brinell), HR (Rockwell), and HS (Shore).

Hardness testing in the field, process line, and quality assurance.

◆◇◆【Same-Day Support】 With FTS, repairs and calibrations are handled domestically ◆◇◆ The Echo Chip Piccolo 2 is a very compact model equipped with memory and communication functions, part of the Echo Chip series Bambino 2. Additionally, using the included transfer software, transferring data from the USB port to a PC is easily possible. (Conversion to text data and incorporation of unique correction factors are also possible.) It can directly display hardness values (HL, HV, HR, HB, HS). There are two types available: the "D type" for measuring flat surfaces, and the "DL type," which is optimal for measuring the bottom of teeth, corners, and welds. 【Features】 ■ Excellent operability, making it ideal for on-site testing without individual differences. ■ High precision with a testing accuracy of ±4HL and excellent reproducibility. ■ Capable of converting to all hardness values (HV, HR, HB, HS, etc.). ■ Can incorporate unique conversion curves. ■ Automatic recognition of impact direction (360°).

Kaitaku Co., Ltd. has recently celebrated its 23rd anniversary. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our customers, partner companies, and stakeholders who have supported us thus far. Currently, Kaitaku is focusing on the "Hyper CLT Mats," which utilize wood CLT in the civil engineering field. We are proposing a new option of wood in places where steel plates have traditionally been used, such as temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, and material yards. These mats are lightweight and easy to install, and they possess unique characteristics of wood, such as reducing glare and noise, CO2 fixation, and consideration for aesthetics. The Hyper CLT Mats are registered technologies with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS, with the **NETIS registration number "TH-250021-A."** As we mark our 23rd anniversary as a new milestone, we will continue to expand the possibilities of wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and civil engineering CLT, delivering new value to civil engineering sites across the country.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
