◆Yoshida SKT Co., Ltd.◆ NEW "【Surface Treatment Case Study】 Streamlining the Lithium-Ion Battery Manufacturing Process!" has been released.

Prevention of adhesion of adhesive tape used in lithium-ion battery manufacturing. Achieving both extended maintenance periods and prevention of line stoppages with surface treatment suitable for cutting tools.

We would like to introduce a case study on the improvement of cutting equipment for insulation tape used in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries. ■ Key Issues - Problems arose when adhesive material adhered to the cutting blade, causing the line to stop. - The blade type is a shear type with two blades, similar to scissors. - To prevent line stoppages, frequent cleaning was required, which decreased production efficiency. ■ Selection Process - We wanted to perform surface treatment using commercially available blades. - It was necessary to select a surface treatment that does not change the cutting performance. - A long-lasting surface treatment was needed to prevent line stoppages and reduce cleaning frequency. ■ Effects of Coating - It was possible to strip the original surface treatment of commercially available blades for processing. - Adhesive adhesion was eliminated, reducing the labor required for cleaning. - Preventing line stoppages and the need for line stoppages for cleaning became unnecessary. Non-stick coating on blades contributes to improved productivity, cost reduction, and enhanced safety. We also have a collection of case studies and trial sets for improvements in the cutting process. ▽ Click here to apply for the collection of cutting process improvement case studies and trial sets ▽

On September 15, 2026, we issued a press release regarding the wooden lightweight sheet "Hyper CLT Sheet." The Hyper CLT Sheet is a civil engineering sheet that utilizes CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) stacked in an orthogonal direction. It can be used in various locations such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 version weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers environmental benefits such as reducing glare and metallic sounds typical of wood, as well as CO2 fixation. Furthermore, it can be proposed for the use of new technologies in public works as a **registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism "TH-250021-A."** Through this press release, we aim to expand the new wooden lightweight sheet that combines wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT to more construction sites.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "HA-T Series" is an energy-saving automatic door sensor that opens only for those who wish to enter, whether on a busy street or in a narrow passageway. The automatic door opens simply by bringing your hand close, addressing hygiene concerns even in facilities used by a large number of people. You can choose between "Non-vision Mount Type/HA-T401" and "Non-vision Built-in Type/HA-T520" depending on the application and installation location. 【Recommended for such places!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy corridor ☑ Presence of counters or signs near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow passages ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors 【Features】 ● Adaptable to various door types with four detection spot settings ● Reduces unnecessary opening and closing, contributing to energy-saving by minimizing wasteful power consumption ● Equipped with a light touch function, allowing the door to open and close just by waving your hand, ensuring hygiene ● Can also be used as a wide detection range non-vision infrared sensor ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods often change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which constantly carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks 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 carried out even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
