A structure that opens and closes the flow path with a flexible diaphragm! We will introduce two types of valve designs.

The product consists of three units: the drive part, diaphragm, and main body. It controls the fluid by pressing the diaphragm against the sealing part of the inner surface of the main body and then releasing it. The wear-type "Model 400" maintains airtightness by ensuring that the diaphragm and the main body's dam are in close contact without gaps, demonstrating high valve seat sealing performance. The materials for the main body and diaphragm are diverse, allowing compatibility with a wide range of fluids. Additionally, the straight-type "Model 500" features a flow path that is nearly linear, resulting in a structure with minimal pressure loss and liquid pooling, making it suitable for fluids containing viscous fluids, fibrous fluids, slurries, sludge, and suspended solids. 【Features】 ■ No leakage to the outside and no contamination of the fluid from outside air ■ Zero valve seat leakage ■ Simple main body shape suitable for lining processing ■ Minimizes liquid pooling and possesses self-cleaning properties ■ Adopts a three-unit system, making disassembly and assembly easy *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Exhibits high airtightness and valve seat sealing performance! Excellent in corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and cleanability.

A diaphragm valve is a type of valve that has a structure for opening and closing a flow path using a flexible diaphragm (membrane) made of materials such as rubber. The "Wear Type Diaphragm Valve: 400 Series" is the basic form of a diaphragm valve that has a weir in the flow path. The fluid passage section is streamlined and has no pocket areas, which minimizes liquid accumulation and provides self-cleaning properties. Due to the valve's structure, it exhibits high airtightness and seat sealing performance. There is a wide variety of materials available for the body and diaphragm, allowing compatibility with a broad range of fluids. ▼Applicable Fields: Chemicals, Environmental & Water Treatment, Steel, Shipbuilding, Pharmaceuticals, Food, Semiconductors, Power Generation, etc. *For more details, please refer to the catalog (P6-P14) or feel free to contact us.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily visible at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

On August 28, 2026 (Friday), I participated in the "AMD Embedded Computing Summit Tokyo 2026" and showcased a "Gesture Demo" as a partner of AMD. The demonstration introduced a configuration that combines gesture recognition using OpenCV, status reporting with LLM, and one-axis motor control using INtime 7.2 and RSI-ECAT, enabling collaboration between AI, image processing, and real-time control on a single PC. We presented a next-generation PC-based industrial control system that integrates AI, image processing, and real-time control on one PC. <Overview of Demo Participation> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/AMDEcsTokyoResults.html <Actual Demo Video> https://youtu.be/JmZke75_y0s <AMD CPU + INtime RTOS Introduction Page> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/amdxintime.html #PC #RealTimeOS #IndustrialPC #AI

This time, I would like to talk a little about current measurement in the switching evaluation of power semiconductors (including power devices and power modules).

From measurement instruments to point cloud processing and analysis software, the latest solutions come together! We propose numerous cutting-edge technologies and products that solve on-site challenges in a one-stop manner. It's not just about seeing; it's about experiencing, consulting, and bringing it back to the field. At the venue, we will showcase the latest measurement instruments and solutions, including 3D laser scanners, handheld 3D scanners, LiDAR drones, and 3DGS (Gaussian Splatting). Additionally, we will announce surprise new products!

We have updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.
