Mitsubishi Nagasaki Machinery has developed the world's first "Handling Manipulator" as a manufacturer of forging presses and ring mills. By combining link mechanisms and hydraulic servos, it enables the automatic insertion of hot materials into the ring mill with high speed and precision. The carrying capacity of this developed machine is a maximum weight of 500 kg and a maximum outer diameter of 600 mm. Additionally, mutual communication between the ring mill and the handling manipulator via wireless LAN has realized a state-of-the-art operating specification using a tablet device. This allows us to offer a packaged solution for the automation of the ring mill, and we are confident that it will contribute to improving our customers' productivity.

Mitsubishi Nagasaki Machinery delivered and installed a 180-ton receiving ladle car for the steel industry. This machine is designed to carry a ladle, receive molten iron that has been reduced in an electric furnace, perform primary refining at the LF facility, and then transport it to the RH degassing unit for secondary refining.

In April, our company received a special award from the Director of the Procurement Department of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. at the 2014 Supplier Awards Ceremony for achieving a stable supply of bulletproof steel plates.

The new type of manipulator manufactured by Mitsubishi Nagasaki Machinery has significantly improved productivity and enabled the production of larger products, while also enhancing the capability to handle high-value small items. The running acceleration has been improved by 35% compared to conventional models, and the rotational torque has increased by 25%, leading to improved stopping accuracy, which allows for a reduction in forging time and heating cycles. Additionally, by reducing the weight of the main body and miniaturizing the motor, power consumption has been reduced by approximately 23%, and the carrying capacity has also improved.

Mitsubishi Nagasaki Machinery presented two technical papers and exhibited a booth at the 19th International Forging Conference held at Makuhari Messe. In the paper presentation, they introduced their achievements in realizing a fully automated process management system for inline press equipment delivered to a U.S. specialty steel manufacturer, capable of 24-hour continuous operation. Regarding ring rolling mills, they presented a paper on the MRB-3000 high-pressure ring rolling mill (maximum rolling force: vertical 1050T, horizontal 800T), which made it possible to roll large special alloys that were previously considered difficult to roll.

Mitsubishi Nagasaki Machinery completed the assembly work for two low-pressure turbines and shipped them (via maritime transport). Additionally, in preparation for the shipment, work was carried out to move a module weighing a total of 270 tons a distance of 145 meters from the assembly factory to the shipping location.

Our company has delivered two scrap carts (Model 1 and Model 2) to the electric furnace manufacturer. These carts are devices that transport buckets filled with scrap from the scrap storage yard to the electric furnace. To improve the accuracy of scrap measurement and to mitigate the impact during scrap loading, the carts are equipped with load cells and cushioning springs.

Mitsubishi Nagasaki Machinery has recently shipped high-pressure vessels (4 types/9 units, ASME STAMP products) to Saudi Arabia. In the surface treatment of the machining department, areas exposed to high temperatures and pressures were treated with molybdenum disulfide to consider future maintenance. Additionally, pressure and airtightness tests were conducted under ultra-high pressure, with the pressure test performed at approximately 320 kgf/cm² and the airtightness test at approximately 420 kgf/cm².

This year's NEW Environment Exhibition showcased new products in instrumentation equipment, including the "Limiter Set" and "Tension Meter." The magnetic separator was displayed alongside a link conveyor, promoting a proposal for the combination of both products for recycling facilities and other plant factories. In environmental equipment, we exhibited "Biosolid Fuel" for the first time this year.

Mitsubishi Nagasaki Machinery conducted assembly work for low-pressure and high-pressure turbines. The assembly work required meticulous attention to quality.

Due to restrictions on land transportation, the "pulp steam dryer" that our company had been manufacturing and delivering in parts by equipment has been assembled and installed on-site by the customer. This device uses heated steam to convert the press cake (beet pulp) generated when extracting "sugar beets," the raw material for sugar production, into livestock fertilizer.

Mitsubishi Nagasaki Machinery has received a bulk order for a total of 18 units of compression and combustion cylinders, turbine cylinders, and outer casings for gas turbines from overseas users.

In October, we exhibited bulletproof protective gear at the Counter-Terrorism Special Equipment Exhibition held at Tokyo Big Sight. Our booth featured items such as our developed mobile bulletproof shield and a bulletproof shelter (bunker) that we have a licensing agreement with the U.S. company DDM.

The vibration isolation device for the 1600AK type guillotine press supplied by Mitsubishi Nagasaki Machinery consists of a vibration isolation device frame (approximately 51 tons), 38 sets of single-unit vibration isolation devices (38 coil springs), 11 sets of double-unit vibration isolation devices (22 coil springs), and 16 sets of oil dampers, weighing and numbering more than twice that of conventional guillotine presses.

In July, the "MF-Tokyo 2013 Press, Sheet Metal, and Forming Exhibition" was held at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center (Big Sight), and our company participated as an exhibitor. This time, we also announced new news about the "MRB-3000 ring rolling mill with the world's highest output class" and the commencement of operation of the in-house test machine for the "φ1000 class ring rolling mill" at our Nagasaki headquarters factory.

Our company exhibited at the "Manufacturing Expo 2013" held in Bangkok, Thailand in June, and continued to exhibit at the "MTA Vietnam 2013" held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in July, promoting our forging machinery products.

Our company has manufactured and shipped spuds (40 meters in length) for grab dredgers and a shear (a tower for raising and lowering the spuds).

Our company participated in the "2013 NEW Environmental Exhibition" held from May 21 this year. This year, we particularly announced new products in instrumentation equipment, including a waterproof axle weight gauge (PT-X11 series), a wireless unit for axle weight gauges, and a tension meter (tentative name). Additionally, we promoted link conveyors, magnetic separators, vibration isolation devices, and environmental equipment, attracting a large number of visitors.

In July 2020, we received a special award from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. for our contribution to business development through cooperation in the modification of special vehicles and the stable supply of alternative materials by developing new business partners. In the modification of special vehicles, we undertook domestic specification modifications, faced various challenges, and overcame difficult situations with meticulous and dedicated responses, which also helped recover from delays in delivery. Our efforts were highly praised by the Ministry of Defense.

In August 2020, we exhibited the magnetic separator manufactured by Mitsubishi Nagasaki Machinery at the China Environmental Expo held in Shanghai, China. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to participate from our headquarters, but we exhibited primarily through our group company, Shanghai Lingduan Machinery Co., Ltd., and received many visitors at our booth!

"High-performance non-ferrous metal sorting machine" × "Color sorter"! ■ It can sort crushed non-ferrous metals by color! 1.

Sort non-ferrous metals by color using the "color sorter"! Sample tests are generally free of charge, so if you are interested, please feel free to contact us.

In March of this year, we delivered the MRB-600 ring mill to domestic forging plants. The ring mill delivered this time is equipped with an automatic rolling control system that reduces dependence on the operator's skill level. Additionally, at the request of the customer, it includes a ring discharge device that transports the rings to the conveyor in conjunction with the completion of rolling, which is expected to reduce the operator's workload and improve work efficiency!
