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.

There is a policy for human resource development. A training plan for a single year has also been established. However— - "We have not been able to outline a development story that looks ahead to next year and the year after." - "The theme changes every year, and there is no sense of accumulation." - "In the end, 'conducting training' becomes the goal." Do you have such concerns? In this seminar, we will invite Canon Marketing Japan Inc. as a case study of a company that has designed and implemented a multi-year human resource development plan. We will delve into: - Why they decided to embark on long-term development - How they designed it and how it was rooted in the field - What challenges they faced This seminar will provide you with the real experiences of a practicing company, rather than just "ideal theories." ■ Content of the day (tentative) 1. Background requiring long-term human resource development 2. Overview of Canon Marketing Japan's initiatives 3. Design philosophy of multi-year development plans 4. Actual implementation of a six-month soft skills development program 5. Reactions from participants, the field, and supervisors 6. Challenges faced during implementation and how they were overcome 7. Q&A session

[To the executives of the manufacturing industry, IT, and manufacturing departments] What should the manufacturing industry do next in this rapidly changing market environment? In particular, how should the increasingly prominent "generative AI" be utilized on the ground? A system vendor that has supported Japan's manufacturing for 30 years will present innovative hints to pave the way for the future, along with a wealth of implementation examples. ■Highlights - [Behind Successful Cases] How did advanced companies overcome obstacles? Sharing practical wisdom - [Next-Generation AI Strategy] How will it change the workplace? Revealing the latest technologies that dramatically evolve operations - [Real Experience] Experience the journey of 30 years and the essence of next-generation IT infrastructure at the venue For more details, please visit the official website at the URL below or click the "Details & Application" button at the bottom.

In 2025, AI has become not just a "special tool" but the "infrastructure" of business. Some of the knowledge and skills accumulated so far are being replaced by AI, leading to an era where skill obsolescence is accelerating. "Now that AI can achieve higher accuracy, what should humans learn?" "What changes are expected in the roles of HR and training personnel?" In this seminar, we will refer to trends in talent development overseas and discuss what employees should learn and what trends educators should be aware of in 2026. An expert who supports the design of employee education for over 300 companies annually will explain this. It will be an hour dedicated to learning about the "human skills" that will not be replaced by AI. <We will discuss the following topics> What is the accelerated obsolescence of skills and knowledge due to the emergence of AI? The skills and knowledge to learn in 2026 are these! What changes will occur in the roles of HR and talent development personnel? Specific practical methods.
