Double Giken's wire-suspended robot hand system

Double Giken (Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture) has developed a wire-suspended robot hand system called the Flying Carry System (photo). By stretching and loosening four wire cables stretched in the air, the system can move as if it were flying. The position of the winches is controlled by finely adjusting the winding of the winches. The robot hand is capable of handling a wide range of shapes and materials of objects with its original technology and can hold them firmly. The robot hand has a wide range of applications, and President Wada says, "We would like to collaborate with companies in different fields to build a suitable system. Since it can be powered via wires, it can operate longer than flying robots (drones). The payload is about 20 kilograms.

Alloy Giken Automates Brazing Process Cleaning

Alloy Giken (Iwatsuki Ward, Saitama City) has automated the cleaning process, which is a preliminary step in the brazing process. In addition to addressing the shortage of manpower, the company aims to improve the working environment by reducing the emission of volatile organic solvents through the use of a sealed cleaning tank. Since the machine is about 2 meters square and 1.7 meters high, the space for the washing process was expanded. In anticipation of future restrictions on organic solvents and other cleaning fluids, a general-purpose cleaning tank was used. In the past, baskets containing parts were manually moved in and out of the cleaning tank, but now that the tank is sealed, "workers will not be bothered by the strong smell of volatile solvents," according to the company. The company says that this will also lead to a reduction in solvent costs. Photo taken on October 24, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

micro chemical chip made with mass production technology jointly developed by Panasonic and Micro Chemical Giken.

Panasonic and Micro Chemical Giken (Saiwai-ku, Kawasaki City), a venture company from the University of Tokyo, announced on April 6 that they have developed a technology to mass produce micro chemical chips, which can be used to create a single chip for analytical equipment used in blood tests, pharmaceuticals, and environmental research. The glass molding method used for the production of aspheric lenses for cameras, etc., which was owned by Panasonic, was converted to the new method. With the newly developed technology, it is possible to produce chips with a diameter of up to 50 mm and mass produce tens of thousands of chips per month. The low cost also has the advantage that the chips can be disposable on site. Currently, the mainstream chip material is resin, which is easy to mass-produce and low-cost. However, resin is difficult to resist chemicals and the environment, and this has been an issue for its further spread.

Kyodo Giken Chemical's Liquid Crystal Polymer Film

Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) film is expected to see a sharp increase in demand for 5th generation communication (5G) devices. LCP film is considered promising as a base material for flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) due to its features such as low noise, low power consumption, and ultra miniaturization. Kyodo Giken Chemical (Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture) is a small and medium-sized company that has started mass production. In the military industry, this is a matter of life and death. Because of this, Kyodo Giken began to receive a flood of inquiries about LCP, mainly from overseas companies. This is not the only strength of Kyodo Giken. LCP film is susceptible to lateral force and tears easily. This further suppresses noise, and the thickness of the copper foil can be reduced to 5 micrometers, making it possible to create ultra-fine circuit patterns.

VTT, a simulated organ for surgical training by Kotobuki Giken

Kotobuki Giken has launched a new company to develop and sell simulated organs for surgical training using konjac. The company raised about 90 million yen through stock investment-type crowdfunding. The company will sell the products to medical equipment manufacturers as well as universities and hospitals. The company also has its sights set on overseas markets. The new company, KOTOBUKI Medical, was established with experts in venture management and medical equipment sales, and is headed by President Takayama. The company will be based in Kotobuki Giken. The new company will handle everything from the purchase of raw materials to processing and sales. The new company aims to achieve sales of 10 million yen in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and to build a plant in 2008. President Takayama is enthusiastic, saying, "We want to make this a 3 billion yen business by 2016. (Photo taken on June 13, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

Double Giken's Communication Tool for ALS Patients

Double Giken has developed a technology to identify the words a patient thinks from the blood flow in the brain and project them on a screen for ALS patients who cannot move their eyelids or fingers. The technology is based on a device that uses near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to determine "yes/no" from brain activity. The patient selects one word at a time and only the vowel sound of the word to be communicated, and the number of words is used to analogize the candidate words to be communicated and show them on the screen. The system, which consists of a personal computer and a terminal, will go on sale in September at the earliest. It was developed with the support of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) in collaboration with Professor Naoki Tanaka of Toyo University and others.

Concept Crawler Robot for Plant Inspection

Nine robot-related companies in Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture, havebegun development of a new plant inspection crawler-type robot. With the help of a 15 million yen subsidy from Fukushima Prefecture to strengthen the robot industry infrastructure, they began designing the robot in June and will complete a prototype in December. The goal is to complete the robot in 2008 and introduce it to plants and disaster response organizations in 2009. Takawa Seimitsu, Sakae Seisakusho, Takeru Software, Winding Fukushima, Kikuchi Seisakusho Minamisoma Plant, YUBITOMA, Hanazawa Giken, Kousakusho, and Shinko, all based in Minamisoma City, are participating in the development. 9 companies are members of the Minamisoma Robot Industry Council established by Fukushima Prefecture's third sector, Dream Support Minamisoma. . = April 24, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
