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.

Measuring the residual strength of composite laminates after damage! Introducing the CAI test procedure!

The "Post-Impact Compression (CAI) Test" is a two-step test developed to evaluate the potential damage of composite laminate materials using test specimens. In the first step, a drop-weight impact testing machine is used to apply visible impact damage (BVID) to the test specimen. In the second step, a static universal material testing machine is used to conduct a compression test on the damaged specimen, measuring the residual strength of the composite laminate after sustaining impact damage. Instron's "drop-weight impact testing machine" is used for the development, fine-tuning, and validation of various material models. Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance. 【Features】 ■ Impact energy from 2J to 70J (and beyond) ■ Minimum mass: 1kg (specimen thickness: 4.0mm or less) ■ Safety enclosure to prevent carbon fiber dispersion ■ Specimens can be adjusted from -70℃ to +300℃ ■ Pneumatic double-strike prevention mechanism to prevent multiple impacts on the specimen *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Nitto Kohki will exhibit at the "31st Japan International Machine Tool Fair JIMTOF2022," which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from November 8 (Tuesday) to November 13 (Sunday), 2022. At this exhibition, we will showcase quick fluid couplings "Couplers," electric screwdrivers "Delvo," labor-saving machine tools, linear drive pumps and their application products, as well as construction equipment "Door Closers," among others.

We will be exhibiting at the following exhibition. Our company will showcase various types of polyethylene pipes. We sincerely look forward to your visit. Exhibition Name: 9th National Small Hydropower Generation Conference in Saitama

Nitto Kohki will hold the "2026 Attack Fair in Misato" at the Misato City Cultural Hall Exhibition Room for two days on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, and Thursday, June 27, 2026. The Attack Fair is an exhibition where you can actually "see, touch, and operate" Nitto Kohki's products. Additionally, there will be wonderful souvenirs for visitors and many fun activities prepared. We look forward to welcoming everyone!

At the beginning of the seminar, we will introduce Canon's latest developments in a groundbreaking high-performance ceramic material that excels in selective laser melting (SLM) for 3D printers, which suppresses "shrinkage" during firing. We will discuss the characteristics of parts that can be created using this method, layer manufacturing technology, target fields, and contract manufacturing services, as well as our collaboration with Metal Research Institute, which has started a high-precision ceramic parts manufacturing service using metal 3D printers with this material. Following that, we will provide a clear explanation of the development trends of various ceramic 3D printers from world-class companies such as SKEFINE, Lithoz, and Sinto Advanced Ceramics. We will cover the innovative manufacturing technologies that enable the creation of complex shapes that were previously impossible with traditional processing methods, including the manufacturing of hollow, porous, and lattice structures. This includes the creation of innovative parts, rapid development and prototyping of components, a significant reduction in the number of parts, lightweight miniaturization, and a substantial reduction in manufacturing processes and workforce. We will also discuss recent attention-grabbing developments in high-speed, large ceramic 3D printers for the short-term and low-cost manufacturing of large parts and products. Thanks to the remarkable advancements in ceramic 3D printing/AM technology, manufacturing ceramic parts with 3D printers will become commonplace in a few years.
