As part of Kistler Japan's activities to contribute to the environment and society, we have decided to participate in Yokohama City's program called "Hama Road Supporter" (a road foster parent system)! The first event took place today, May 30th, on Zero Waste Day, where 14 employees participated in picking up trash along the roads around the company. We were all surprised to find that, although it usually goes unnoticed, there was quite a lot of litter, such as cigarette filters and plastic waste, and we discussed continuing this effort. The trash was promptly collected by the staff from the Kohoku Ward Civil Engineering Office.

Do you remember the serious accident that occurred in January 2018 when a tanker loaded with diesel fuel overturned and caught fire on the El Carrizo highway bridge in Mexico? It is said that one of the causes was the continued passage of overloaded vehicles, which led to damage to the bridge. To address this, newly constructed bridges are equipped with Kistler's Lineas sensors and WIM systems to automatically detect overloaded vehicles, allowing for accurate measurement of each vehicle's axle weight and total weight to implement traffic regulations. For specific case studies, please contact us or download the catalog from the Kistler official website or IPROS!

Reliable Cutting Processing in the Micro Domain Winterthur, May 29, 2018 – After approximately two years of development, Kistler has announced the world's smallest mass-produced cutting dynamometer, MicroDyn. This system allows manufacturers and research institutions to measure cutting resistance with extreme precision, which is essential for the development of ultra-small tools. In the machining of miniature workpieces, strict requirements are placed on the tools used. For example, in watch manufacturing, compact and highly sensitive measuring equipment is necessary to measure cutting resistance in confined spaces. Kistler's new dynamometer, MicroDyn 9109AA, offers users new possibilities in the field of ultra-precision machining, particularly in the development of cutting tools for hard and brittle materials and the optimization of cutting conditions.
