Notice of Participation in EE Tohoku '23

An evolved hydraulic tensioner that overcomes the challenges of conventional tensioners, such as "too heavy," "does not fit in narrow spaces," and "oil leakage due to repeated use."

The hydraulic bolt tensioner from "Boltight," a member of the Nord-Lock Group, was born as an evolved version re-invented by the engineer Fred Heaton, who developed the tensioner itself, to overcome the challenges faced by the tensioner. These challenges include common disadvantages of hydraulic tools like tensioners, such as being "too heavy and difficult to work with," "leaking oil after repeated use," and "not being installable in confined spaces." All of Boltight's tensioners have been significantly lightweighted to the extreme, using in-house developed bridges and seals to greatly reduce the weight of the tensioner. Additionally, the durability for repeated use has been greatly improved with technologies such as in-house developed seals. Furthermore, we can flexibly customize the shape and size for areas where space constraints prevent application, delivering them with the same lead time as standard products.

Can be used as a replacement for existing pins. It significantly reduces the maintenance costs of equipment and is an innovative pin product that can be used universally on any moving part.

Wear occurring in movable parts is a major enemy of low-cost operation, requiring regular maintenance such as bush replacement and pin hole repair. For equipment manufacturers, it is an issue that cannot be overlooked, as it increases maintenance costs, which are a quality indicator of the machine, and shortens product lifespan. For machine users, it leads to chronic problems of high maintenance costs and downtime. The advantage of the Expander System is that it can be used semi-permanently and completely prevents wear in movable parts, eliminating the need to replace bushes like consumables. In movable parts that do not use bushes, it can eliminate oval deformation. The secret lies in the fact that after installation, the pin's axis expands in a way that completely seals the gaps inside the pin hole. The Expander System is already widely adopted by leading construction equipment manufacturers, including Japanese companies, and has passed a continuous field durability test of 60,000 hours without any loss of functionality at Volvo Construction Equipment. It comes with a lifetime warranty, guaranteeing the product's functionality until the first removal. *For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us.

No allowance for loosening, securely maintain axial force! Physically prevent loosening of bolts/nuts.

This catalog introduces the "Nord-Lock Washer," which utilizes wedge-locking technology that physically prevents bolt loosening without relying on friction. It features the "Nord-Lock X Series Washers," which simultaneously prevent two types of loosening, as well as the "Nord-Lock SC Washers," designed for high-strength bolts used in construction. Additionally, it includes information on why bolts loosen and the Nord-Lock customer magazine.

An innovative product that can tighten enormous bolts and nuts that cannot be tightened by human strength using just one torque wrench.

A mechanical bolt tensioner developed in 1984 at the request of US Steel, the largest steel company in the United States. By distributing the enormous torque required to tighten large-diameter bolts into smaller torques, it dramatically improves work safety. Additionally, it achieves remarkably accurate fastening force, allowing for work in high or confined spaces without issues. The use of electric tools and air tools further shortens work time, dramatically reducing downtime caused by operations and enabling low-cost operations. 【Features】 ■ Amazing axial force accuracy due to patented structure (over three times the accuracy of conventional methods) ■ Large-diameter bolts can be fastened with just one torque wrench ■ Does not depend on the skill of the operator, ensuring accurate fastening force regardless of who performs the work ■ Incredible axial force precision prevents loosening even under severe vibrations ■ Strong against loosening that does not involve return rotation due to thermal cycles, thanks to elastic fastening ■ Usable without issues in confined or elevated spaces *For details, please refer to the catalog or contact Nord-Lock Japan. *Beware of imitations that resemble the appearance. They do not have equivalent functions due to patented technology. Nord-Lock Japan also provides various technical support. Please feel free to consult us.

In the field of food and health food research and development, an increasing number of companies are facing the following challenges: - Difficulty in exploring new functional materials and differentiation themes, leading to a depletion of research topics. - While they are collecting information from conferences and papers, they struggle to translate this into research themes directly related to their products. - They remain limited to competing similar products and follow-up projects, failing to establish uniqueness. - Although there are seeds of ideas, they struggle to elevate them to scientific hypotheses and build the necessary foundations for internal approval. Behind this lies a "wall of execution" that cannot be overcome by traditional information gathering and research processes. In this webinar, we will introduce a new R&D approach to break through these challenges. It is a next-generation research and development scheme that combines AI-driven hypothesis generation, which has achieved results in drug discovery, with scientific hypothesis verification by a food human trial CRO. This will allow for the transformation of vague ideas into scientifically verifiable projects, simultaneously achieving the construction of persuasive foundations for upper management and differentiation development.

Fujikohsuhou Industrial Co., Ltd. will hold an online seminar titled "Tips for Setting Laser Hardening Conditions" on July 20, 2025 (Wednesday). In laser hardening, factors such as output and speed are related to the quality of hardening. We will explain how output and speed are connected to quality factors. This seminar is aimed at those who are looking to start utilizing laser hardening. 【Recommended for】 ■ Those who want to learn about methods for setting laser hardening conditions ■ Those who want to obtain technical information about laser hardening

Take the 'first step' in DX talent development in Fukuoka. We will hold a free seminar where you can learn reskilling strategies that can be applied in the field through case studies and experiences! 'I've become responsible for DX, but I don't know where to start.' This is a participatory seminar aimed at representatives from small and medium-sized enterprises in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, where you can learn the 'first steps' in DX talent development and implementation support. While introducing case studies of representative DX tools such as Power Automate and Power BI, you will experience hands-on sessions with Copilot, allowing you to grasp practical small-start methods that can be implemented on-site. The content also includes specific success stories from the Fukuoka region, along with tips for promoting understanding and advancement within your organization.

We will be exhibiting at INCHEM TOKYO 2025, which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from September 17 (Wednesday) to September 19 (Friday). This time, we will host many events, including special project stages and mini-seminars. At our booth, we will introduce our solutions and technologies based on the theme of "Sustainable Plant Engineering" from three different concepts. Please be sure to stop by our booth, East Hall 6, K-17.

The Siemens EDA Tech Forum is a technical event aimed at sharing the latest technological trends, case studies, and solutions to challenges with everyone involved in the design and development of silicon systems and electronic systems, while addressing evolving technologies, the densification and complexity of designs, and various design challenges, all while meeting requirements for quality, safety, and reliability. The goal is to deepen insights and networks towards achieving sustainable business. The forum covers a wide range of topics, from advanced design technologies and methods in fields such as 3D ICs, chiplets, chips for AI and ML (machine learning), and IC packaging, to the design, analysis, and collaborative development of electronic systems, including printed circuit boards, across multiple domains, as well as building ecosystems both internally and externally using digital threads. Through case presentations and explanations of design methods by industry leaders, it supports solutions to challenges faced in daily design work from all directions.
