Schunk will be exhibiting at the International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Expo (FC EXPO) 2026. We invite you to learn about our attractive product lineup and the latest technologies, and to utilize them for your company. The International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Expo (FC EXPO) 2026 will be held at Tokyo Big Sight, in the German Pavilion at West Hall 2, W14-20, so please come visit us! [Exhibited Product: High Design Freedom through 3D Printing - IntrinSiC] A patented manufacturing technology that combines the excellent material properties of reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RBSiC) with the advantages of the 3D printing process. It can shape large and complex geometries, including undercuts and hollow sections, in a single step, eliminating the need for the long machining processes that were previously required. [Exhibited Product: RECOSiC (TM) - High-Quality SiC Powder through Sustainable Recycling Technology] High-performance silicon carbide (SiC) powder produced in mass quantities through an innovative and patented recycling process. It achieves excellent quality suitable for high-tech applications while reusing used SiC and scrap materials in line with the concept of a recycling economy.

Our company will be exhibiting at "Bastech in the Metropolitan Area"! 【10th Bastech in the Metropolitan Area】 Date: October 18, 2024 (Friday) from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Location: "Uminomori Water Sports Center," Koto City, Tokyo Admission: Free (Please bring 2 business cards) Exhibited Product: Depot Charger SLS301 《Product Features》 An automatic charging solution for electric vehicles. Over 7,000 units have been implemented in Europe, the United States, and Asia. It is adopted for everything from regular buses to autonomous buses (demonstration tests). It supports everything from slow overnight charging to ultra-fast charging of up to 1 MW during standby time with just one unit. This enables flexible operation by extending the range while keeping battery size in check! *For more details, please refer to the attached materials.

Schunk Transit Systems, a German manufacturer of ultra-fast automatic charging solutions for commercial EVs, including electric buses, has conducted a site visit to the European Pangraph Charging City with Japanese bus operators and power companies in March 2024 through its Japanese subsidiary, Schunk Carbon Technology Japan. A report on this visit has been published in Bus Rama No. 204 (scheduled for release in June 2024). The smart charging system, which is highly compatible with automation and digital transformation (DX), is expected to contribute to solving various challenges associated with electrification, such as labor shortages and space constraints. For more detailed information about our products and the site visit, please feel free to contact us. For more information about Bus Rama, please visit http://www.portepub.co.jp/

We would like to introduce components made of SiC (silicon carbide) used in burners and combustion furnaces. Our lineup includes the "Recuperative Burner," which ensures a high level of efficiency, as well as "Burner Nozzles," "Flame Tubes," and "Radiant Tubes," all of which promise long-term reliable operation. We can accommodate complex shapes and manufacture large and long products (meter-scale) using 3D printing. 【Features】 ■ CarSiK and IntrinSiC(R), derived from RBSiC, are available ■ High oxidation and corrosion resistance ■ Excellent thermal shock resistance ■ 3D printing of IntrinSiC(R) (shortened delivery times, high design flexibility, reduced costs for expensive models and molds)

With our 3D printing technology, we redefine the traditional shapes of silicon carbide (RBSiC) and the applications and fields it has been used in, enabling the emergence of next-generation technologies. For the first time, we have been able to manufacture silicon carbide with hardness comparable to diamond as a ceramic component using 3D printing with IntrinSiC(R). By utilizing this 3D printing technology, new freedoms in design and engineering are created. For example, undercuts and cavities can be realized, and designs and shapes can be easily modified with a mouse click on a computer. There is no need for time-consuming mold fabrication at all. The RBSiC material stands out due to its thermal shock resistance, advanced oxidation and corrosion resistance, high bending strength and creep resistance, and its industry-leading high density.
