Introducing different approaches aimed at achieving assembly results in press forming engineering!

We will demonstrate, using practical examples, how considering the results of the hemming process in advance during the design of the press forming process can minimize the risk of costly redesigns by incorporating those results into the design.

By realizing a digital twin of the press molding process, we significantly reduce mold trial and production downtime! We are also offering materials that showcase application examples!

We are pleased to present a white paper on the "AutoForm REM Package," which combines software modules for press forming, training, and consulting services to realize a digital twin of the press forming process. [Contents of the White Paper] ■ What is a Robust Engineered Model (REM)? ■ What is the AutoForm REM Package? ■ Benefits of the AutoForm REM Package ■ Seamless digitization of the entire press forming process ■ AutoForm Accuracy Indicators ■ Introduction of application examples *If you would like a copy of the white paper, please request a catalog through "Contact Us" or view it as a PDF from "PDF Download."

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I’m worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask that customers arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter 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 metal crack repair 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. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Hotron, which manufactures and sells sensors, provides bed exit sensors for hospitals, nursing, and care facilities. Hotron offers easy-to-understand video guidance on how to use the bed exit sensors wirelessly and how to set up device connections! ▼ Video Manual (YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNVA4mTrZDqtJa6MfFRZQxwtfCSnAfxVy 【Bed Exit Sensors】 ○ Non-contact infrared sensor, simply place it - Pole-kun HB-H1 ○ Mat sensor, foldable thin mat - Mat-kun HB-UST ○ Body movement call - Ugo-kun HB-TV3 ○ Body movement call for wheelchairs - Ayumi-chan HB-WTV3 【Options】 ○ Nurse call linked wireless set - Wireless set (transmitter/receiver) HB-RS/HB-RJ ◎ For more information about the products, please contact us or download the catalog.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs 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 at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used.
