High-speed camera shooting is possible! A drop weight impact testing machine that easily synchronizes video and load signals.

The "9400 Series" is a drop weight impact testing machine that can be used not only for punching but also for compression, three-point bending, and tensile-tensile impact tests. As the use of thermoplastics, composites, and metal alloys as high-performance materials for weight reduction in automotive, aerospace, and defense applications increases, the need to streamline the product development process and confirm the consistency between simulations and test results is extremely important. The weight is adjusted to maintain a constant strain rate and speed as much as possible throughout the elongation of the specimen during the impact event. 【Features】 ■ Capable of measuring high strain rates at impact speeds of up to 22 m/s ■ Tensile impact fixture test temperature range: -50 to +120°C (standard piezo sensor) ■ Transparent panels are placed around the test area, allowing for high-speed camera recording ■ Easy synchronization of video and load signals ■ DIC analysis to evaluate the longitudinal strain of the specimen after impact in a tensile impact condition *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In the manufacturing industry, while a lot of quality and process data has been accumulated, there are still many cases where its value is not fully utilized. In this seminar, two companies will introduce examples of using JMP to engage in data analysis and improvement activities. 【Presentation Overview】 1. "Unraveling the 'Personality' of Batteries!" Utilizing "Raw Data" for "Proactive Quality" Hasegawa Kaoru and Shimada Kohei from Energy With Co., Ltd. 2. Why Can't We Find the Root Cause of Defects? ~Data-Driven Improvement Practiced with JMP~ Tsuji Ikumi from Atfields Technology Co., Ltd. 【Target Audience】 - Individuals involved in quality control, quality assurance, production technology, and manufacturing technology in the manufacturing industry. - Those who want to utilize quality data and process data to work on quality and process improvements. - Anyone interested in data analysis and quality/process improvement using JMP (both JMP users and non-users are welcome). ▼Details & Registration https://www.jmp.com/ja/events/seminars/non-series/2026/09-18-manufacturing

In the automotive and aerospace industries, there is an urgent and critical challenge to improve fuel efficiency, leading to active development of materials and component manufacturing technologies aimed at further weight reduction. Uchida Co., Ltd., which boasts high technical capabilities in the molding and processing of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) with excellent characteristics such as lightweight, high strength, high rigidity, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance, has introduced the first CFRP-compatible large pellet 3D printer "Heron AM" from Caracol, aiming for innovation for the future and energetically working on circular component shaping and manufacturing. In this seminar, COO Junpei Ochiai will practically explain, using videos, the motivation for the introduction, CFRP molding and component shaping technologies, reduction of personnel involved in the molding manufacturing process, examples of achieving low costs through re-resourcing of molds after use, comparisons with conventional methods and case studies, efforts to reduce carbon dioxide through material circulation, initiatives for a circular economy, and commissioned shaping services.
