Ten years since the Kumamoto earthquake - The "Hybrid Joint LL Type" expansion device adopted for the new Aso Ohashi Bridge, designed to accommodate fault displacement.

Proven durability of 50 or 100 years through fatigue load testing!

The Hybrid Joint NS-LL type and 3LIIA type have been tested under the fatigue durability test specified by NEXCO, confirming a durability of 50 years after 6 million load cycles. Furthermore, the 3LIIA type will undergo another fatigue loading test in November 2024. After 12 million load cycles, a durability of 100 years has been confirmed! This proves its ultra-long-term durability. Traditionally, expansion joints are often required to have a durability of around 30 years, but bridges are expected to last 100 years, so it is undeniable that expansion joints can shorten the lifespan of bridges. Our product, the Hybrid Joint, contributes to extending the lifespan of the expansion joint itself, thereby reducing lifecycle costs and promoting the longevity of bridges. We offer a wide range of products from small to large, accommodating expansion amounts from 20mm to 600mm. 【NS-LL Type Features】 ○ 50 years of durability and water-tightness ○ Ultra-low noise and low vibration ○ Steel vertical shape 【3LIIA Type Features】 ○ 100 years of durability ○ 50 years of water-tightness ○ Large expansion amount and wide gap For more details, please contact us or request a catalog.

The adhesion between the steel plate and rubber was confirmed to have no delamination in the tensile test!

The Hybrid Joint NS-LL type is manufactured using the press vulcanization bonding technology, which is also used in the production of bearings. Regarding the bonding part, it has been confirmed through a tensile test by the Chemical Substance Evaluation Research Organization that the failure mode was material failure rather than cohesive failure, meaning there was no delamination. This indicates that the steel plate and rubber are bonded very strongly, making it a product with excellent water-tightness. In addition to the strong adhesive force between the rubber and the steel plate, the structure is designed so that the water-stopping rubber does not come into direct contact with the tires of passing vehicles, making it less prone to wear. The range of products available includes both small and large items, accommodating expansion amounts from 20mm to 175mm and a maximum applicable slab gap of 395mm. **Features** - High water-tightness - Steel vertical tooth shape - One-lane assembly product ~~ We are currently seeking agents! Agents from the Tohoku and Hokuriku regions are very welcome! Of course, we also accommodate companies from other regions! ~~ For more details, please contact us or request a catalog.

An article has been published regarding the case study of the introduction of the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" and the attendance management system "KING OF TIME" at Racam Co., Ltd. ~ In the case of Racam ~ Before the introduction of "Rakuraku Seisan," applications were paper-based. One person was responsible for checking the contents for about 100 individuals using a calculator. Since actually using the system, various tasks related to determining who to pay and how much have been reduced, and it has become possible to import the crucial journal entries. Most importantly, the elimination of the need to research transportation costs one by one has been a significant improvement. The successful implementation of the attendance management system was made possible by the generous support provided by iBP. [Case Overview (Partial)] ■ Challenges Before Implementation - Wanted to eliminate paper-based reimbursement and application processes ■ Key Points of Implementation - High recognition of Rakuraku Seisan - With iBP, both expense reimbursement and attendance management can be handled together *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

"Somewhat inconvenient" can quickly transform into "cost" and "risk" due to an increase in the number of employees or an expansion of business scope. What we are introducing this time is the process of a home care industry company with around 700 employees verbalizing their frustrations regarding payroll operations and considering the optimal system configuration. When we verbalize "somewhat inconvenient"... 1) The support quality of the payroll system being used is poor, causing significant stress. 2) The number of employees has been on the rise in recent years, raising concerns about running costs due to the pay-per-use system. 3) Macros are being used for data integration with a separate system. 4) We want to make backend processes like payroll payment reports easier. Information from iBP What is important here is to decide how to handle the multiple issues that have arisen, which is the "prioritization of tasks."
