[Magazine Contribution] Tool Engineer September Issue Special Edition "Machining Technology to Minimize Waste"

Introducing different approaches aimed at achieving assembly results in press forming engineering!

We will demonstrate, using practical examples, how considering the results of the hemming process in advance during the design of the press forming process can minimize the risk of costly redesigns by incorporating those results into the design. [Contents] - Press forming process considering hemming results - Comparison of individual part springback and subassembly springback - Results of process verification *For more details, please refer to the "Catalog Download." Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

"Electronic contracts for national and local governments are also available with 'paperlogic Electronic Contracts'" In December of last year (2023), we inquired about our service 'paperlogic Electronic Contracts' regarding the 'Law and Orders Related to Regulations on New Business Activities' utilizing the Digital Agency's gray zone resolution system. As a result, we received a response from the Digital Agency stating that 'paperlogic Electronic Contracts' can be used as an electronic record in place of paper contracts for national and local government contracts. "'paperlogic' is endorsed by the Digital Agency" In this inquiry, we received confirmation that 'paperlogic Electronic Contracts' can be utilized as an electronic record in place of paper contracts for national and local government contracts. From now on, you can confidently use 'paperlogic Electronic Contracts' not only for contracts between private companies but also for all types of contracts in local government practices, including administrative contracts and discretionary contracts. For business document digital transformation and electronic contract services, feel free to consult with paperlogic.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.

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 affecting the base material with heat. 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 a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
