The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out 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. ◎ If you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about the possibility of colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those facing sidewalks or roadways are particularly prone to 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 at various sites and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *When using the exit warning system, we kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breaker, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances.
