We exhibited at the "27th Monozukuri World Osaka," held at Intex Osaka from October 2 (Wednesday) to October 4 (Friday). Thank you very much to everyone who visited us over the three days. Focusing on the "BARIASⓇ-A9 High Durability Piping (Internal Polyurea Coating)," which contributes to reducing maintenance work hours by improving the wear resistance and longevity of metal piping, we showcased our achievements in polyurea coating. 【Exhibited Product Details】 "Towards the Longevity of Equipment. Starlight's BARIASⓇ Coating." ■ High Durability Piping (Internal Coating) Introduction of piping internal coating technology using polyurea resin. ■ BARIASⓇ Coating Exhibition of coating samples and introduction of coating achievements.

We are conducting joint research with Kinki University on "static pressure gas bearings (non-contact bearings)" that use "air" as a lubricating fluid, which can be used even in clean environments compared to oil. Static pressure gas bearings can support rotating shafts non-contact by supplying compressed air from the outside, thereby reducing the generation of wear particles from manufacturing machinery's rotating shafts and bearings. In this study, we developed a method to analyze flow rates and the restoring force of the shaft through CAE analysis by rotating the shaft using two types of bearings: axial type (jointly developed / made of resin) and circumferential type (conventional) slot throttling static pressure gas bearings. The developed CAE analysis method enables a significant reduction in the number of experiments needed to understand the phenomena of static pressure gas bearings during shaft rotation. We aim to apply the results of this research to the practical design of static pressure gas bearings, contributing to the enhancement of cleanliness and longevity of manufacturing machinery, such as food production lines, thereby reducing maintenance burdens.

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake in Ishikawa Prefecture, which was the epicenter of the earthquake in Reiwa Year 6. I sincerely pray for the safety of the people in the disaster-stricken areas and for a swift recovery and reconstruction. I also extend my deep respect to those who are working hard in rescue efforts and support in the affected areas, and I will continue to work on providing support for the safety and security of the people in the disaster-stricken areas.

An article reporting on "Orientation Observation and Fracture Location Prediction of PPS/CF Injection Molding Test Specimens" has been published in the journal of the Society of Plastic Processing, "Molding Processing Volume 35 (2023) Issue 8."

We have launched a landing page for our resin reduction gear. If you have any interest or curiosity about our resin reduction gear after viewing Ipros, please take a look at that as well.

Even in a clean environment, "static pressure gas bearings (non-contact bearings)" that use "air" as a lubricating fluid can support a rotating shaft non-contact by supplying compressed air from the outside, thus reducing the generation of wear particles from the rotating shaft and bearings of machinery. 1. Evaluation of dynamic characteristics of axial slot restrictor static pressure gas bearings (jointly developed product / made of resin) Using two types of bearings, axial and circumferential slot restrictor static pressure gas bearings (conventional products), the load capacity was measured while the test shaft was rotating, and the influence of shaft rotation on load capacity was investigated. As a result, the axial type (developed product) exhibited a larger load capacity than the circumferential type (conventional product) and was able to suppress shaft runout during rotation. 2. Measurement of axial surface pressure distribution of axial slot restrictor static pressure gas bearings (jointly developed product / made of resin) An investigation was conducted on the influence of shaft eccentricity on the pressure distribution on the surface of the shaft in axial slot restrictor static pressure gas bearings. The results showed that the experimental values and CAE analysis values were almost consistent, confirming that the accuracy of CAE analysis was sufficiently secured. We will utilize this for practical static pressure gas bearing design, contributing to higher cleanliness and longer lifespan of manufacturing machinery, such as in food production lines, thereby reducing maintenance burdens.

A trade show specializing in the introduction of robots, including service robots, collaborative robots, and system integrators, was held at "Japan Robot Week 2022," where we showcased our original material "S-Bear" with the resin reduction gear "S-Bear DD4830" for the first time. With the cooperation of Keigan Co., Ltd., we mounted the S-Bear DD4830 on a collaborative robot for the first time, attracting numerous visitors from major manufacturers to venture companies. ◆ What is the resin reduction gear "S-Bear DD4830"? - Compact and flat design that provides high torque - Smooth rotation without lubrication - Lighter than metal reduction gears, both in terms of the product itself and back-drive torque - Usable underwater - Can estimate joint torque and end-effector force from motor power even in underwater environments ◆ Excerpts from visitor feedback - The lightweight design of the reduction gear positively impacts the robot's payload capacity - The ability to use it in harsh environments like underwater can lead to business opportunities We will continue to explore new applications and work on improving the performance of our reduction gears.

As May has arrived, the temperature has gradually begun to rise. How about the heat stroke prevention system "e-Met" for this year's heat stroke measures? We have renewed our product site and enriched it with helpful content, so please feel free to stop by.

The web magazine specialized in industrial robots, robot digest, has featured a resin-based reduction gear. Excerpt from the news: We have experimentally launched the "S-Bear DD," a planetary gear reducer that uses resin for gears and mechanical components, aimed at our research and development partners. It is characterized by being lightweight, rust-resistant, and not requiring lubricants or seals, compared to existing metal products. In the future, we aim to enhance its completeness through trial sales with our partners and target general sales. Ultimately, we aim for it to be adopted as a component for industrial robots. It is designed to be the same size as commercially available reducers, allowing partners to easily replace it and evaluate its performance... For more details, you can download the news or view it on the robotDigest web magazine.

<Summary of the article> A non-stick plate called "ALPCOMBI-F" has been developed, which features a fluororesin sheet specially bonded to a metal plate. This contributes to reducing maintenance for powder silos, such as those used for cement. In cement factories and SSH silos, when cement adheres to the inlet, inner surface, or bottom, it is typically knocked off from the outside with a wooden mallet. However, during regular maintenance, dangerous tasks such as chiseling by hand become necessary. Since powder does not enter the back of the plate, there is no risk of it falling off. It lasts longer than coatings. Last year, two cement silos at the Denka Ome factory were ordered, and the construction was completed in July and August. *For more detailed information about the product, please download the catalog from the product page or feel free to contact us.
