This is a demo machine that allows you to experience the quick clamping mechanism. If the workpiece is within the specified range, suction demonstrations can be conducted with your workpiece as well.

"Compatible with various types of work using the alignment unit!" ■ What is the alignment unit? It is a mechanism that arranges multiple quick clampers both vertically and horizontally, allowing the shaft to be fixed according to the contours of the workpiece, enabling the support, gripping, and transport of various types of work without the need to change chucks or jigs. The alignment unit of this demo machine is manual, allowing you to flexibly test the contact points and suction levels of the elements on your workpieces. With a balancer attached, you can lift the workpiece with minimal effort. It is possible to identify challenges for implementation. You can experience the demo machine at our Keihin Sales Office (Tamagawa, Ota Ward, Tokyo). Additionally, we will be exhibiting at the Mechanical Elements Technology Exhibition (M-Tech) held in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. If you would like a demo, please contact us.

In this exhibition, we will introduce a wide range of specialized survey services related to offshore wind power generation projects, including wind and sea condition surveys, O&M, sediment surveys, and fishing ground environmental monitoring. We will also showcase marine surveys and seagrass bed investigations using marine robots such as autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) and underwater drones, as well as the collection of dead fish in aquaculture operations.

The energy policy promoted by the government has finally made a significant shift from "quantity to quality." The previous large-scale introduction of renewable energy policies relied on inexpensive foreign-made panels, leading to the chaotic installation of mega-solar farms across Japan's land, which created environmental, landscape, and waste issues. As a result, Japan's energy self-sufficiency rate remains at a mere 13%, and even with the advancement of renewable energy, "import dependence" has not been resolved. In light of this reflection, the focus moving forward will be on "developing domestic energy technologies" and promoting "self-consumption type renewable energy." Among these, perovskite solar cells are lightweight, highly efficient, and offer great flexibility in installation, making them a trump card for "decentralized renewable energy" that can be easily retrofitted onto building walls and roofs. Kenneth Energy Development Co., Ltd. is developing a "selective self-consumption solar power generation system" that utilizes domestic panels and perovskite technology. Based on a track record of 83 projects nationwide and a total construction cost of 908.4 billion yen, it supports the industry's "energy independence." Now, renewable energy is entering an era of "security infrastructure."
