Proposal for replacement of Keyence Corporation's "VP-90".

Linear encoder, compact and lightweight magnetic incremental scale system, waterproof specification (IP-67), suitable for replacement of optical systems.

This is a non-contact incremental magnetic scale system that allows for a large distance between the head and the scale. It can measure length without being affected by dust, dirt, etc., due to magnetic detection. It features the smallest head among our magnetic detection scales. The detection head is compact, measuring 30mm in width and 32mm in height. When combined with a dedicated scale, it can create a compact length measurement system. The large detection distance between the head and the scale, along with the tolerance for variations in detection distance, increases design flexibility. 【Features】 - Non-contact incremental scale system that allows for a large distance between the head and the scale. - Length measurement is possible without being affected by dust, dirt, etc., due to magnetic detection. It can detect through non-magnetic materials such as brass, aluminum, plastic, and stainless steel (e.g., SUS303). It has a waterproof structure (IP-67) and has been successfully adopted in food processing machines. *Sample lending is available. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog. CAD data is available. There are many successful replacements from discontinued optical encoders! *VP-90 Easy Scale.

Ready to use right after purchase! Includes display unit. Magnetic encoder "SI-140 Package" length measurement system. Also suitable for Kaizen proposals.

The SI-140PAC is a packaged linear encoder that comes with a display and can be used immediately with an AC100V power supply. It is equipped with a standard 2m magnetic scale, which can be extended later (maximum length ∞). The counter display has a minimum display value of 0.1mm. You can easily measure with digital display where you used to measure with tape measures or gauges. It is suitable for cutting aluminum materials and woodworking. It has been widely adopted in in-house jigs (contributing to improvement proposals). Please also use it for DIY projects. Since it is magnetic, there are no miscounts due to dirt. There is a YouTube channel available. *Sample lending is possible. *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF materials.

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.

This is Daidore Co., Ltd. We have launched a "contract manufacturing and custom prototyping service" using the latest metal 3D printers. As our first sample, we created a company nameplate for our mascot "D-Dora-kun." By intentionally not machining it and utilizing the layering marks (beads) as a design element, we express the solid feel and three-dimensionality unique to solid wood. ■ Our Strengths - Custom orders without molds: Quick response to prototypes and restoration of discontinued parts using only data. - Large-scale manufacturing and build-up technology: Capable of producing up to 2000×1000×1000mm and performing build-up repair processing on existing parts. - Expertise in materials: Leveraging our know-how in manufacturing drainage fixtures, we propose various high-corrosion-resistant alloys such as SUS316L. ■ Equipment Specifications (MELTIO Robot Cell) - Method: Wire laser DED method - Compatible materials: Stainless alloys, mild steel, titanium, nickel, copper alloys, etc. If you want to "reduce mold investment" or "create parts with special shapes," please feel free to consult our Development Promotion Department!

The comprehensive production management system "TED Ver.3.0," developed and sold by Profect Co., Ltd., has received the "Excellence Award" in the Software category at the "38th Small and Medium Enterprises Excellent New Technology and New Product Award," co-sponsored by the Resona Foundation for Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion and Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun (announced in the April 15, 2026 edition of Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun). This award is a prestigious recognition that honors outstanding new technologies and products, supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Small and Medium Enterprise Agency and the Organization for Small & Medium Enterprises and Regional Innovation. ■ Message from President Shiro Abe This system was developed with the participation of eight small manufacturing companies from across the country as "stakeholders," and it was created by thoroughly examining whether it can truly be used on-site and whether it can lead to profits, rather than being just theoretical. We believe that in DX (digital transformation), what is important is "who to work with." Moving forward, we will continue to enhance our functions and support for implementation, and we will strive to create new value together with everyone under the banner of "restoring manufacturing."
