Austrian company HAGE, which provides production equipment for dissimilar material joining technology using Friction Stir Welding (FSW), has decided to enter the Japanese market in collaboration with Iris Co., Ltd. starting this year. HAGE has a proven track record in large-scale joining equipment for aluminum tanks, particularly in the European aerospace industry. Additionally, the company has extensive experience in dissimilar material joining in the European automotive industry, including the sealing of battery cases, truck body assembly, and the provision of Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) technology as an alternative to spot welding. Iris Co., Ltd. will introduce HAGE's FSW technology to everyone in Japan. For more detailed information, please feel free to contact us.

The German company SCHOELER, which provides manufacturing and assembly equipment for heat exchanger tubes and fins, has decided to enter the Japanese market in collaboration with Iris Co., Ltd. starting this year. SCHOELER began with high-precision equipment and tools/molds for manufacturing thin-walled fins and tubes, and has expanded to include semi-automatic and fully automatic core assembly for heat exchangers such as condensers, radiators, oil coolers, and charge air coolers, as well as complex turnkey manufacturing lines. The equipment and molds developed and manufactured by the company are used in the automotive industry worldwide, as well as in the air conditioning and heat exchanger manufacturing industries for residential and mobile applications. Regarding roll forming, seam welding, and the automation of highly advanced processes, SCHOELER offers cutting-edge technology in productivity and precision. The company's innovative mechatronics solutions, accompanied by specialized electrical control and software development for these processes, provide the best production efficiency in manufacturing processes. Additionally, for those currently using equipment from other manufacturers, SCHOELER can provide high-quality alternative tools, molds, and units. For more detailed information, please feel free to contact Iris Co., Ltd.

From March 2 to 4, 2021, the renowned manufacturer of creep feed grinding machines, Blohm, will exhibit at GrindTec 2021, one of Japan's largest comprehensive exhibitions for grinding-related equipment, held at Makuhari Messe. During the exhibition, our company Iris will also participate at the booth of the United Grinding Group, to introduce Blohm's technology. At the booth, we will showcase methods to achieve high-efficiency and high-precision processing of difficult-to-machine materials through creep feed grinding, bringing innovation to the processing of various precision parts and molds. ★ Achieve high efficiency in the manufacturing of parts and molds with "genuine" creep feed grinding! ★ Creep feed grinding is a grinding method that processes workpieces in one pass by applying a cutting depth that is tens to hundreds of times greater than that of conventional grinding, instead of feeding the table at a slow speed. By replacing the time-consuming processes traditionally done with wire cutting, milling, or reciprocating grinding with creep feed grinding, we can significantly enhance processing efficiency. Please feel free to ask us about how to increase productivity in the manufacturing of parts and molds using creep feed grinding!
