Announcement of Participation in the Construction Technology Exhibition - EE Tohoku '18 from June 6 (Wednesday) to June 7 (Thursday), 2018.

Significantly extend the lifespan of bridges and drastically reduce replacement time! During replacement work, a 30% reduction in construction time and an expected reduction of about 20% to 50% in construction costs can be achieved!

**Contributing to the Long Lifespan of Bridges!!** The "Hinoductile Joint α" is a bridge expansion device that excels in replaceability, durability, and driving safety. The CV type, part of the lifecycle cost (LCC) reduction series, allows for the replacement of the product body (only the cast iron part) without the need for extensive removal of the foundation mortar during the next replacement, thereby reducing construction costs and shortening construction time. Compared to replacing with conventional bridge expansion devices, you can expect: ✔ Approximately 30% reduction in construction time ✔ Approximately 20% to 50% reduction in construction costs!! (for the CV type) **Features (LCC Reduction Series)** ■ The main body is made of Hinoductile cast iron, which has excellent material properties (achieving a durability equivalent to 30 years!) ■ LCC reduction through partial replacement (only the main body) using a bolt connection structure ■ A load-supporting plate formed from a cast iron integrated structure that maintains watertightness for a long period ■ High water-stopping ability at product connection surfaces ■ Surface features designed for slip resistance, ensuring safe driving even in rainy conditions ■ Contributes to the long lifespan of bridges *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us. We will propose suitable products tailored to installation conditions and environments, including other product series.*

Fujikohsuhou Co., Ltd. will hold an online seminar titled "Laser Cladding Material-Specific Data" on September 24, 2025 (Wednesday). In laser cladding, powders based mainly on three types of elements are used: Cobalt (Co-based), Nickel (Ni-based), and Iron (Fe-based). This seminar will explain the characteristics and issues of these powders in laser cladding. It will be a useful reference when selecting powders. 【Recommended for】 ■ Those who want to know the laser cladding characteristics of various powders ■ Those considering laser cladding but unsure which powder to use

Nitto Kohki will exhibit at the "30th Mechanical Components Technology Exhibition [Tokyo]" held at Makuhari Messe Hall 5 from July 9 (Wednesday) to July 11 (Friday). [Booth Number: Hall 5 31-32] At this exhibition, we will showcase a variety of products, including the electric suction hand "e-VEE" with a built-in pump that requires no compressed air, a cordless belt sander, the electric driver "Delvo" that can be mounted on robots, and the "Flow Monitor" that allows for easy visualization of coolant flow in molds and other applications.

Fujikou Shuhou Industry Co., Ltd. will hold an online seminar titled "Things That Cannot Be Done with Laser Hardening and Trouble Cases" on September 17, 2025 (Wednesday). Laser hardening is often mistakenly thought to be capable of anything. We will honestly explain the limitations due to geometric constraints and past trouble cases that have occurred. I believe this will be an interesting technical seminar for those who have some doubts about laser hardening. [Recommended for the following people] ■ Those who want to know about troubles related to laser hardening ■ Those who want to have a general understanding of the capabilities of laser hardening

We will be exhibiting at "Messe Nagoya 2025," one of Japan's largest cross-industry networking events, held from November 5 (Wednesday) to 7 (Friday) at Port Messe Nagoya. Aichi Prefecture has many companies actively working towards energy conservation and achieving carbon neutrality, and our transaction records are the highest in the country. At the Akari Company booth, you can experience a comparison of the heat insulation performance of the Akari-na C daylighting blinds with that of conventional blinds, as well as a comparison of the slat transmission performance. Given the current rise in electricity costs, the Akari-na C daylighting blinds utilize their features of being "bright even when closed, not heating up, and unbreakable" to help save on air conditioning and lighting costs. We look forward to meeting you all. *The Akari-na daylighting blinds are available in both corporate and personal versions, differing in product specifications, warranty content, and services. The corporate version of Akari-na is the AKARINA contract (abbreviated as Akari-na C).

YS Pole Co., Ltd., a group company of Yoshimoto Pole Co., Ltd., will be exhibiting at the "Gunma Tech EXPO 2025." This is an exhibition and business meeting where companies from within and outside Gunma Prefecture will present their unique technologies and products. This time, more than 200 companies and related organizations are expected to exhibit. YS Pole Co., Ltd. will showcase pole products such as the "N Base," which uses a cast iron base, "Corrosion-resistant Anchor Bolts" that combine stainless steel bolts and carbon steel, and the public furniture series of fences and bollards that are well-received for their high design quality, as well as outdoor outlet poles that are adopted in various projects. Additionally, at the venue, we will present an introduction video of our manufacturing plant in Gunma (Fujioka City), case studies from the Takasaki branch of YS Pole Co., Ltd., and 3D CAD (CIM) on monitors. We invite you to visit our booth at the event.
