Micro FT-IR imaging measurement

It is possible to visualize the distribution of substances within the specified plane! Suitable for evaluating the diffusion state of substances, etc.

We would like to introduce our "Microscopic FT-IR Imaging Measurement." It allows for the visualization of the distribution of substances as a two-dimensional image within a specified plane. It becomes possible to evaluate changes in the distribution of substances that are difficult to assess with regular point measurements through visible images. [Analysis Suitable for Imaging Measurement] ■ Evaluation of the diffusion state of substances (assessing the mixing of substances in a mixture, identifying the locations of impurities, etc.) ■ Evaluation of molecular structural changes (assessing the degree of oxidation from the surface to the interior of resin products, etc.) ■ Qualitative analysis of micro foreign substances that are difficult to sample *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials! Introducing examples of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials.

Organic materials such as solvents, additives, pharmaceuticals, and plastics are essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials. They have a wide variety of types due to the combination of light elements, and their specificity is manifested through structure, intermolecular forces, and electron behavior. However, it seems that chemical instrumentation analysis and evaluation are necessary for a fundamental understanding of their properties. This document presents case studies of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials. [Contents] ■ FT-IR Analysis ■ GC-MS Analysis ■ Molecular Weight Distribution Evaluation by GPC (SEC) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Introducing a method for analyzing the vicinity of the surface through total internal reflection of infrared light by closely adhering micro ATR crystals!

Based on imaging obtained from FT-IR spectra using the ATR method, cross-sectional analysis of organic multilayer films such as aluminum laminate film can be performed. The ATR method (Attenuated Total Reflection) is a technique that involves closely attaching a micro ATR crystal to the sample, allowing for analysis near the surface through total internal reflection of infrared light. Due to the influence of the refractive index of the crystal applied to the sample, the apparent spatial resolution is enhanced, enabling the analysis of smaller foreign substances. 【Features of the ATR Method】 ■ A technique that analyzes near the surface through total internal reflection of infrared light ■ The apparent spatial resolution is enhanced due to the influence of the refractive index of the crystal applied to the sample ■ Enables the analysis of smaller foreign substances *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce the pre-treatment for cross-sectional observation using devices such as band saws for sample cutting!

We would like to introduce the pre-treatment for cross-sectional observation (sample cutting and resin embedding) conducted by Aites Co., Ltd. We use cutting equipment suitable for cutting large substrates and thick components, such as the band saw "HOZAN K-100" and the IsoMet "Buehler Low Speed Saw" for sample cutting. With the "HOZAN K-100," samples up to approximately X150mm, Y230mm, and Z70mm in size can be cut. Additionally, after cutting, the samples are embedded in epoxy resin or similar materials, but it is also possible to embed in resin before cutting. 【Product Lineup】 ■ Band Saw ■ IsoMet ■ Multifunctional Diamond Wire Saw *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Depth-direction measurements using Raman spectroscopy! Material analysis of each layer is possible from the surface of multilayer films.

Our "Micro Raman Spectrophotometer" employs a confocal optical system, allowing for the adjustment of the focal position in the depth direction, similar to a microscope, enabling material analysis of each layer from the surface of multilayer films. Using the confocal function of the micro Raman spectrophotometer, the focus of the Raman laser light can be varied in the depth direction. Additionally, by continuously changing the focal position, it is possible to acquire spectra continuously in the depth direction. 【Features】 ■ Adoption of a confocal optical system ■ Enables material analysis of each layer from the surface of multilayer films ■ Capable of varying the focus of the Raman laser light in the depth direction ■ Allows for continuous acquisition of spectra in the depth direction *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling or tripping over wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worrying about forgetting to turn the switch back on after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Wanting to be notified of bed exits even from a location far from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting our wireless nurse call linked set to the sensor! Our wireless nurse call linked set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed area, alleviating concerns about tripping or falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations far from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.

Kort Valuta has released a workplace initiative model that leverages points exchangeable for electronic money to support the adoption of safety and wellness habits. Examples include: ・Hydration reporting ・Viewing heatstroke prevention content ・Pre-shift condition checks ・Voice-based condition checks By linking these activities to incentive points, organizations can encourage voluntary participation while supporting workplace safety and employee well-being. The model is designed not only for frontline environments such as: ・Logistics ・Construction ・Manufacturing but also for office-based health and well-being programs. Safety posters and reminders alone are often not enough to drive lasting behavioral change. We hope this initiative provides a practical example for organizations seeking new approaches to workplace safety and employee engagement.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, particularly at entrances facing sidewalks or roadways, there is a risk of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surrounding area with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "sensor" + "controller" + "switching power supply (24V)" + "LED rotating light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
