The palm-sized ultra-compact fanless PC "Tiny Edge PC3 (Model: BXC-TNY3)" has been certified as INtime Ready!!

The definitive version of PC-based hard real-time control, "INtime."

INtime is an event-driven real-time operating system that operates in parallel on the same PC as Windows. It transforms a PC into a control controller for industrial systems, integrating the traditional "PLC + data processing PC + external I/O" into a single unit. ■ It enables high-performance real-time systems on a single industrial PC. ■ It operates on PCs for both commercial and industrial applications. ■ INtime handles control and external I/O, while Windows is responsible for information processing such as HMI, databases, and AI. This division of roles allows for the integration of 'IT and OT' within the same enclosure. ■ Applications running on INtime are developed using Visual Studio, allowing for C/C++ implementation and debugging with the same feel as Windows applications. ■ PLC ladder language and Python can be utilized (optional). ■ Major industrial external I/O interfaces are available, including PCI/PCIe, serial, LAN, and fieldbus (CC-LINK, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, MECHATOROLINK), among others. ■ Comprehensive technical support is provided. Dedicated staff will assist with handling and inquiries related to the product.

MECHATROLINK solution for INtime/INplc

【High-Precision Real-Time Power】 Due to its characteristics, a PC can easily and affordably utilize the latest CPUs. However, high precision and high-speed MECHATROLINK communication cannot be achieved by CPU performance alone. The real-time OS 'INtime' enables deterministic task scheduling. 【Function Integration】 In addition to motion control using MECHATROLINK, a single PC can handle a variety of software functions such as main control processing, sequence control, process control, and HMI. This achieves cost reduction and improved maintainability. 【Free PC Selection】 INtime and INplc can operate on any PC that runs Windows. This means that almost any PC is available for use, allowing for free selection of a PC based on price, size, and expandability to match the target system being developed. 【MECHATROLINK Association】 https://products.mechatrolink.org/product/detail/id=27

The "HM-S6" is an embedded park sensor that detects vehicles through changes in magnetic flux and responds to various situations from passing to stationary vehicles. It can be used for the opening and closing of input doors at waste treatment plants, as well as for gates that vehicles pass through and outdoor parking applications. It can also be installed on rebar and steel plates. 【Features】 ■ Resistant to the effects of natural environments such as rain, snow, temperature changes, and geomagnetism ■ Protection rating IP68 reduces the risk of water ingress ■ Ten times the load capacity compared to conventional embedded park sensors (based on our comparison) ■ Can distinguish between vehicles even when they pass continuously ■ Can be installed on rebar and steel plates *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We will be exhibiting at the 2025 Autumn Conference of the Japan Society of Fisheries Science, a public interest incorporated association. We will showcase examples such as fishery environment monitoring, distribution surveys of sea urchins, which are one of the causes of coastal degradation, and the underwater time-lapse cameras that are active in monitoring damage in aquaculture sites. Additionally, we will introduce kits for collecting dead fish in aquaculture sites and sediment sampling kits that can be attached to underwater drones. Please feel free to ask the booth staff about new graduate recruitment and mid-career hiring for the 2027 fiscal year. We look forward to seeing you there.

We conducted a "moisture and heat resistance test for adhesives" to investigate the changes in adhesive strength due to the effects of moisture and heat. The test specimens were placed in a constant temperature and humidity testing machine, and after 500 hours, they were removed to measure the tensile shear adhesive strength. It is presumed that the adhesive strength decreased due to the swelling of the adhesive in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. We can conduct various environmental tests and strength tests on a variety of materials, not limited to adhesives. Additionally, we also provide chemical analysis to elucidate degradation mechanisms.

Since its release in 2008, the LED lighting for image processing, 'Kou Shop', which boasts a rich lineup and high quality at low prices, has been well-received by many customers. We are excited to introduce a new product, the 'T-E Series', consisting of 8 different models. The main features are five: 1. Brightness has improved by approximately 1.6 times! (for white light) 2. Power consumption has been significantly reduced to about half! (for white light) 3. Operating temperature range has expanded to 0–60°C (compared to 0–40°C for previous models) 4. Same shape as previous models, allowing for direct replacement with your current power supply 5. Prices remain unchanged (note: some colors may have price changes) By reducing power consumption, not only does this lower running costs, but it also allows for the use of inexpensive low-output power supplies, contributing to overall cost reduction of the equipment. Furthermore, with the expanded operating temperature range, you can use it confidently even in high-temperature and harsh environments. The T-E Series, with significantly improved performance, has evolved the previous concept further and is now a product that can meet diverse needs. We invite you to take this opportunity to experience the capabilities of the T-E Series. We are also offering free demo units for loan, so please feel free to contact us.
