'Next-generation' Shinkansen model on display

HAMAMATSU, Japan - A new Shinkansen model, the ''next-generation'' N-700 Series, on display in a press preview at the JR Tokai Hamamatsu plant in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecutre on April 10. According to JR engineers, a key N-700 technical feature is that the train, through the use of air spring, can bend at curves so that it does not have to decelerate when passing through curving passages. The N-700 Series, which will run in the Tokaido Sanyo Shinkansen line, can speed through curves at a maximum speed of 270 kilometers per hour in the Tokaido sector and 300 kph in the Sanyo sector, they say. As a result, the N-700 Series can travel between Tokyo and the Shin-Osaka station in Osaka in 2 hours and 25 minutes, down 5 minutes, and between Tokyo and the Hakata station in Fukuoka in 4 hours and 50 minutes.

AGV with a new structure that holds and transports scuzzy objects

Skuse Corporation (Minami Ward, Kyoto City) has developed a new automatic guided vehicle (AGV) with a new structure that lifts up wheeled vehicles from below and will put it on the market in fiscal 2021. It is expected to simplify the setup process for AGV operation and reduce the workload of the person in charge. The towing type has a structure that is connected like a truck, so there is a problem of not having enough space to go around curves in the transport route. The new AGV structure is expected to solve this problem. In addition to the AGV with the new structure, SCUZ will also propose a set of its own twin-arm robots. The company expects to reduce the workload of teaching and other tasks by producing both robots in-house and making it possible to control them with a single robot controller.
