We will be exhibiting at ROBOT TECHNOLOGY JAPAN 2022.

Shortest half-day estimate / [From design and manufacturing of conveyors/automatic transport systems to assembly] Let's automate the production line and eliminate transport downtime.

We offer a comprehensive service from design to manufacturing and assembly, taking into account the characteristics of the items to be transported and the conditions of the installation site, including various conveyors, AGVs (automated guided vehicles), and automatic transport devices. By introducing transport equipment, we can automate the loading and unloading processes with conveyors and enable high-speed transport, thereby reducing downtime and improving logistics efficiency. By robotizing the transport session, it becomes possible to perform fully automated operations without direct human intervention in the loading and unloading of equipment and products. Our in-house designers support customers from the conceptual stage! Utilizing a wide network of partner companies, we solve customer issues in the equipment field. We provide a one-stop service for the design, manufacturing, and installation of equipment and jigs that meet the required functionality, including conveyors, robots, automatic feeders, AGVs, and semi-automatic machines. Additionally, we can accommodate requests for only specific processes, such as "design only" or "assembly only," allowing for minimal equipment introduction while proposing productivity improvements. We handle cutting processing for prototype and development parts, from metals to plastics! For more information on our achievements, please refer to our catalog.

We provide comprehensive support from design to assembly, solving customer issues through automation and labor-saving solutions based on our track record in equipment manufacturing for the food industry.

By automating and reducing manual processes through our devices, we can enhance production speed and efficiency, maintain stable production volumes, and ensure quality assurance while securing costs and time. Our company has experience in the food industry, having dealings with food machinery manufacturers. - Product Lineup - Automatic packaging machines Automatic powder machines Automatic bagging machines Automatic polishing and sorting machines Automatic stirring machines, etc. → We can handle everything from design, manufacturing, assembly, electrical work, and installation to requests for only the necessary processes. Additionally, in terms of parts procurement, we also handle food hygiene law-compliant materials such as SUS, PEEK, New Light, Sumika Super S, POM, MC Nylon, Duracon, Teflon, and PPS. Our strength lies in our ability to respond to procurement needs for necessary processing, from "one piece" onwards, including lathe work, milling, sheet metal, wire, discharge machining, and resin cutting! We can arrange drawings in 2D, 3D, or hand-drawn formats to match the customer's drawing specifications. For more details, please check the catalog download.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

CLT, which has been utilized in the field of architecture, is now expanding its possibilities into civil engineering sites. The "Hyper CLT Mats" are wooden lightweight mats that utilize CLT. They can be used as wooden mats for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas, providing an alternative to traditional steel plates on site. 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, as well as CO2 fixation, thanks to its wooden composition. Moreover, the Hyper CLT Mats are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology "TH-250021-A," making them eligible for proposals in the use of new technologies in public works. Transforming CLT from "building material" to "civil engineering material," it is expanding the new possibilities of civil engineering CLT in the form of wooden lightweight mats.

The power system is transitioning from DC12V / DC24V systems to DC48V systems. Therefore, we have launched the "48V Special Feature" page! On this special feature page, we will provide information useful for customers considering DC48V systems, including an introduction to products compatible with DC48V, the advantages and disadvantages of transitioning to a DC48V system, and related information that can assist in system construction. If you have any of the following concerns: "I am looking for products compatible with DC48V" "I am considering transitioning from DC12V / DC24V" "I want to know more about DC48V systems" Please take a look at the "48V Special Feature"! If you have any questions regarding product selection or specifications, please feel free to contact us through our website.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

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. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
