By implementing data collection and field network functions of the NX Driver T3 series, it will be possible to easily support IoT in low torque screw tightening applications, including ECU boards, home appliances, and precision equipment. Our company will continue to actively develop various high-function models aimed at further improving screw tightening quality.

Nitto Seiko Co., Ltd. will begin selling the head-embedded clinching stud bolt "JOISTUD(R)-FH," which does not protrude from the fastening member after press-fitting, starting December 1, 2024. *A patent for this product has already been filed. Clinching stud bolts are widely adopted in many industries, particularly in the automotive sector, and as products become more functional and the number of components increases, there is a growing demand for miniaturization and space-saving designs. Additionally, commercially available low-head clinching stud bolts have experienced issues where the head deforms or sinks when tightened with high torque or subjected to external forces. In response to this background, we have developed the head-embedded clinching stud bolt "JOISTUD(R)-FH," which leverages the manufacturing technology of industrial fasteners (screws) and mold manufacturing technology cultivated by our company through extensive research. This new product ensures high safety during fastening and prevents the head from protruding after press-fitting into the fastening member. Like conventional products, the new "JOISTUD(R)-FH" can be press-fitted into the fastening member, suppressing head protrusion and reducing head sinking due to axial force during fastening, thereby strongly supporting our customers' manufacturing processes.

Nitto Seiko Co., Ltd. will upgrade two high-torque models of its high-precision, high-functionality screw tightening driver, the NX Driver T3 series, to CE marking specifications and will begin sales on December 1, 2023. The NX Driver T3 series and the SD600T controller series have been well received in various fields since their launch in 2016 as high-precision, high-functionality models of our screw tightening drivers. In 2019, three low-torque models out of the five in the series were upgraded to comply with CE marking. The two newly upgraded models to CE marking specifications are high-torque models among the five in the series. There has been significant demand from overseas markets, particularly the European market, not only for the three models that were previously upgraded but also for CE marking compliance for the high-torque models. This upgrade responds to that demand, making all models in the series compliant with CE marking specifications.

Nitto Seiko Co., Ltd. has updated two models of the collaborative robot screw tightening unit: PD400 series to comply with CE marking specifications, and will begin sales on February 1, 2024.

When launching products within the EU, completed products as machinery require the issuance of CE marking and a Declaration of Conformity, while partially completed machinery requires the issuance of a Declaration of Incorporation. The PD400 series falls under the category of "partly completed machinery" according to the EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC). This time, we have prepared Declarations of Incorporation for two models that are in high demand in the European market for Universal Robots and Techman Robots.

■Overview■ This is an introduction to a single-axis automatic screw tightening machine specifically designed for drill screws, which combines both high-speed rotation and high thrust for hole drilling, as well as low-speed rotation and high torque for stable thread formation! ■Features■ 1) Stable and High-Speed Tightening Our screw tightening machine driver, the "KX Driver," has been improved for drill screws, allowing for a maximum high-speed rotation of 2000 min-1 during hole processing, and stable low-speed rotation with high torque control during thread formation and tightening, enabling fast and high-quality tightening of drill screws. It can be set arbitrarily according to conditions such as plate thickness and material. 2) Low Inertia and High Thrust When processing holes in steel plates, a stable thrust of 300 to 500 N (the force applied to the screw) is required. To achieve this, we have positioned the air cylinder on the driver bit axis, allowing for efficient transmission of thrust to the screw. Additionally, by re-evaluating the placement of the driver motor, we have reduced inertia, minimizing the impact load on the workpiece during hole penetration. 3) Compact Size Increases Flexibility in Screw Tightening Machine Layout We have achieved a reduction in size compared to conventional machines based on our general-purpose screw tightening machine, with a width reduction of 25%, depth reduction of 19%, and overall length reduction of 8%. This enhances the flexibility of the screw tightening machine layout.

■Overview■ This flow meter is a clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter (NU2) that can measure the flow rate of fluids flowing inside pipes from the outside of the pipes, with the addition of a DIN rail mount type. It employs the "time-of-flight difference method," which calculates flow velocity based on the time difference of ultrasonic waves transmitted in both the forward and reverse directions from each detector, and converts it to flow rate. Since it measures from outside the pipe, it is not affected by the corrosiveness of liquids, allowing for a wide variety of liquids to be measured. Additionally, the transducer is compact and easy to handle, and can be mounted on DIN rails like other devices, making installation in various control panels easy. 【Applications】 ○ Flow management of drinking water, industrial water, and agricultural water ○ Monitoring the operational status of existing flow meters ○ Flow management of circulating water for cogeneration ○ Flow measurement of hot water pipes in air conditioning systems 【Applicable Liquids】 Homogeneous liquids through which ultrasonic waves can propagate (Water, seawater, industrial water, acidic liquids, alkaline liquids, alcohols, etc.) 【Applicable Pipes】 Pipes made of materials that allow stable ultrasonic transmission, such as steel pipes, stainless steel pipes, PVC pipes, and cast iron pipes. ★Notable Information★ Currently, we are running a free demo campaign.
