This is a testing machine that reproduces the state in which thin paper, fibers, and films bend under their own weight to calculate the Clark's breakage (stiffness).

It reproduces the state when paper and fiber products bend under their own weight, automatically adjusts the protrusion length of the test specimen, and measures the critical length and stiffness.

• Other measuring instruments

This is a testing machine that evaluates the stiffness (rigidity) of materials such as cardboard.

It is a testing machine (Tebar hardness tester / Tebar stiffness tester) used to measure the hardness (stiffness) of relatively stiff samples such as cardboard.

• Other measuring instruments

● The Mooney value is automatically calibrated with a built-in weight. ● You can register test conditions and pass/fail criteria. ● Test results can be output to a PC* (optional). ● You can recall past test results (up to 100 data). ● The heater timer function allows for time savings on start and end times. ● It is equipped with overload prevention and overheating prevention devices.

• Other measuring instruments

This is a vulcanization testing machine (rotorless rheometer/MDR) for evaluating the vulcanization characteristics of rubber. Fully automated testing is also possible with the optional sample automatic loading and unloading device.

● The sample chamber die can be selected in addition to the flat die specification, also in a conical die specification. ● By installing a sample automatic loading and unloading device* (pin type or film type) and a data processing device*, full automation (continuous testing of 84 samples) is possible. This contributes to labor-saving and efficiency in measurement tasks. (*Optional) ● By installing options for foam pressure measurement and tanδ measurement functions, more physical properties of rubber can be obtained. *The photo includes the sample automatic loading and unloading device (optional).

• Other measuring instruments

This is a low-temperature impact brittleness testing device (brittleness temperature testing device) used for low-temperature characteristic testing of rubber and plastics (cold resistance testing).

Rubber and plastic are immersed in a low-temperature liquid, struck with a hammer at a constant speed, and evaluated based on the occurrence of cracks. You can choose between the dry ice method or the refrigeration method.

• Other measuring instruments

This is a testing machine that applies impact to a plastic specimen and determines the impact value from the energy of the pendulum required for destruction.

● It features a digital display, eliminating errors from wear loss of the discard needle and reading errors by the operator. ● By replacing the hammer and specimen support base (fixed base), it can accommodate Charpy impact tests, Izod impact tests, and tensile impact tests. ● Easy operation with a color LCD touch panel. It can display and save the average, maximum, minimum, coefficient of variation, and standard deviation of impact values. ● Measurement data can be saved to a PC. (*Requires optional dedicated data processing software. PC is optional.) ● Hammer release* can be operated with a button. There is no individual variation during hook release, improving reproducibility. (*Optional) ● Instrumentation system* is selectable. (*Optional. Only for Charpy impact tests and in-basis tensile impact tests.) ● Positioning support base* is selectable. It allows for easy and accurate setting of the specimen. (*Optional for Charpy impact tests.) ● Various safety covers* (with or without a top) are selectable. (*Optional)

On September 23, 2025 (Tuesday), they published a page titled "Easier to Optimize the Allocation of Management Resources!? 'Product Portfolio Management (PPM)'". 'Product Portfolio Management' allows for the optimal allocation of management resources by evaluating one's business along two axes: "market growth potential" and "market share," and classifying it into four quadrants. The page explains the benefits that can be realized by utilizing it, the two axes and four quadrants that make it up, and the associated risks. (Page Overview: Excerpts) ■ What is 'Product Portfolio Management'? ■ What can be achieved through 'PPM'? ■ Components of 'PPM' (vertical and horizontal axes) ■ Components of 'PPM' (four quadrants) ■ Two risks associated with 'PPM' (DL content only) ▼ For more details, please visit this page. https://sbsmarketing.co.jp/blog/ppm-2025-09/

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at TSP Corporation. ~ In the case of TSP ~ Before the introduction, there were challenges such as dealing with the "paper" sent from various locations and the reliance on specific individuals for the tasks. After the introduction, the input and checking of FB data, which used to take 2 to 3 hours, can now be completed in just 5 minutes. Additionally, the mindset of the accounting department, which was previously reliant on manual entry, has changed.

Full and empty management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, achieving efficient parking lot operations. ■ For large parking lots, the "floor management method" and "block management method," which focus on cost reduction, are recommended. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count the number of vehicles passing through. This method offers the advantage of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 ■ For smaller scale operations, the "space management method," which installs sensors in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy, is recommended. By ensuring accurate full and empty displays, it helps prevent unnecessary entry of new vehicles and enables safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
