As part of research on magnetic bearings for attitude control of artificial satellites, two engineers from CSEM (Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology) are capturing disturbances of a reaction wheel using our dynamometer with magnetic bearings. Based on these high-precision disturbance measurement results, we have been able to evaluate a control algorithm for active control of synchronous rotational vibrations across the entire range of rotational speeds, allowing us to increase rotational speed while minimizing disturbances and power consumption.

As part of Kistler Japan's activities contributing to the environment and society, we conducted the sixth session of the "Hama Road Supporter" (road foster parent system) in Yokohama, where our headquarters is located. This time, on March 31, despite the serious situation caused by COVID-19 (novel coronavirus infection), our company made efforts to prevent the spread of infection by effectively implementing staggered working hours and remote work. With a strong desire to continue doing what we can for society, 16 employees gathered outside the office to enjoy the fresh air. Wearing masks and gloves for infection prevention and maintaining a safe distance, we picked up discarded cigarette butts and empty cans from the roads around the company. We even found a large number of CD cases and other trash suspected of illegal dumping, and while lamenting the deliberately hidden cigarette butts and empty cans in the bushes, everyone worked hard to pick them up. Of course, as soon as we returned to the office, we washed our hands and gargled. We plan to conduct another session in two months. We sincerely hope that by then, the impact of COVID-19 will have subsided. Please take care of yourselves as well.

On February 12th (Wednesday), a seminar titled "Visualization of Processing" was held, hosted by the Okayama Prefectural Industrial Promotion Foundation in Okayama Prefecture. Matsura from our Sensor Technology Division spoke about a cutting power meter that can determine optimal processing conditions by measuring cutting resistance. Date and Time: February 12, 2020 (Wednesday) 13:30 - 17:00 Theme: "Visualization of Processing" Lecture Title: "Measurement of Cutting Resistance Using a Cutting Power Meter" Related Keywords: Cutting, Power Meter, Processing, Sensor, Analysis

As part of Japan Kistler's activities contributing to the environment and society, we held the fifth session of the "Hama Road Supporter (Road Foster Parent Program)" in our headquarters located in Yokohama! This time, on January 31, with the cold at its peak and plenty of fallen leaves and trash, twelve participants gathered early to pick up discarded cigarette butts and empty cans from the roads around the company. One employee's comment, "It's winter, so it's corn soup, sweet red bean soup, and amazake," made us laugh, but the amount of litter is no laughing matter. The trash will be collected by the Kohoku Ward Civil Engineering Office, so we can participate with peace of mind.

Thank you very much for your continued support. We sincerely appreciate it. We will be closed for the year-end and New Year holidays during the following period: Holiday Period: From Saturday, December 28, 2019, to Sunday, January 5, 2020. We will resume normal business operations on Monday, January 6. We look forward to your continued support in the coming year.

As part of Kistler Japan's activities contributing to the environment and society, we held the fourth session of the "Hama Road Supporters" (Road Foster Parent Program) in our headquarters located in Yokohama! This time, on the morning of November 29, when the wind had turned cold for winter, 14 of us, including the head of Asia who was on a business trip from Hong Kong, picked up discarded cigarette butts, convenience store bags (with trash inside), and broken umbrellas from the roads around the company. Some employees felt sad seeing trash thrown deep into the bushes where it was out of reach, but we want to continue believing that keeping the area clean will make it less likely for people to litter. The trash is collected by the Kohoku Ward Civil Engineering Office, so we can participate with peace of mind.

We will be exhibiting at "Mechatrotech Japan 2019," which will be held from Wednesday, October 23 to Saturday, October 26, at Port Messe Nagoya. At our booth, we will showcase how to effectively cut materials. What impact do tools have on cutting force? How can we extend the lifespan of tools? What kind of cutting force acts on the blade? What are the optimal cutting data and methods? We will display cutting power meters that can help answer these questions, and we look forward to your visit. Please stop by our booth! ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Mechatrotech Japan 2019 October 23 (Wed) - 26 (Sat), 2019 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM (until 6:00 PM on Friday, and until 4:00 PM on the last day) Port Messe Nagoya Booth Number: 2C19, 2nd Exhibition Hall 　* Look for the blue "KISTLER" against a white-themed booth * ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

As part of Kistler Japan's activities contributing to the environment and society, we conducted the second round of the "Hama Road Supporter" (Road Foster Parent System) in our headquarters location, Yokohama! This time, on July 30th, at the beginning of a very hot day, 18 employees participated in collecting discarded umbrellas and dumped tires from the roads around the company. We also picked up many empty cans and cigarette packages that had been thrown into the bushes, sweating profusely as we did so. I felt that the gazes of passersby were somehow warm. The garbage will be collected by the Kohoku Ward Civil Engineering Office, so it’s a reassuring system.

As part of Kistler Japan's activities contributing to the environment and society, we conducted the third session of the "Hama Road Supporters" (Road Foster Parent Program) in our headquarters location, Yokohama! On September 30, despite the arrival of autumn, it was still a muggy morning, and this time, 18 employees participated in picking up discarded plastic bottles, cigarette butts, umbrellas, rusty saddles, and even abandoned household garbage from the roads around the company. We heard comments like, "It feels refreshing to do something good in the morning." The garbage will be collected by the Kohoku Ward Civil Engineering Office, so it’s a reassuring system.
