Latest Patents
One of Rikiya Makino's latest patents is a fluid pressure-feed device. This device includes a main tank and a sub tank, where the sub tank is integrally connected to an upper portion of a main follower plate. This setup applies pressurizing force to a urethane adhesive inside the main tank. A drum pump is positioned in the upper portion of a sub follower plate within the sub tank. As the urethane adhesive flows into the sub tank from the main tank, it is fed under pressure to a fluid passage through the actuation of the drum pump. This process continues even while the main tank is being replaced, ensuring a consistent flow of adhesive.
Another significant patent by Makino is related to a power assist device, which includes a holder for a workpiece and a pair of wires that suspend the holder. Each wire is connected to a wind-up wheel, which is driven by motors. The device features rotation detectors that monitor the motors' rotation and torque detectors that measure the drive torque. The controller calculates the operating force required for the work
