Collaborative Robots

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2407M17] Collaborative robots used in manufacturing sites are characterized by operating in the same space with humans, unlike general robots, and thus increasing the efficiency of manufacturing sites.
In particular, as the load that collaborative robots can carry has recently increased to 30kg, their utility in the field is expected to expand even further.
Electrix Co., Ltd. recently introduced universal robots’ collaborative robot ‘UR30’ at a local exhibition.
This collaborative robot is capable of a payload of 30kg, and has a working radius of 1,300 mm.
UR30 is a product that changes the perception that existing collaborative robots can only lift a low maximum weight, and UR30 can provide machine tending for large machines and high-weight palletizing systems.

A spokesperson for the company explained, “Collaborative robots are being used for small-quantity, multi-variety production due to their safety, flexibility in installation, and easy programming,” and added, “Compared to the Americas and Europe, where collaborative robots are widely used, Korea has stricter regulations on safety certification, so if these policies are relaxed a little, the market will grow even more.”
Electrix aims to provide automation solutions that cooperate and harmonize with people, rather than replacing them, with various solutions such as universal robots and autonomous robots. Its goal is to contribute to the automation market of Korean industries without being limited by region.
Electrix is an integrated platform company that provides various products and solutions to shipbuilding/ocean/land plant, defense industry electrical equipment, cooperative robots, autonomous driving robots, undiluted equipment, and state-of-the-art security systems.
Based on specialized technology and accumulated know-how, Electrix has been providing differentiated services to domestic and foreign customers.

With its sales history for half a century, BLUENIX strongly has confidence in its technical knowledge, quality, and maintenance for all of its customers.

Smart Safety System

[INQ. NO. 2312M04] This system consists of a Multi-function Digital Semaphore and a Gas Safety Master.
Its control panel consists of functions that control a flagger, a text electric sign, a siren, image equipment, a power supply, and sound. It also has a function that manages a site by displaying an instant gas-detection response by connecting with the Gas Master that comes with it. Gas Safety Master is a primary gas detection system that can be used in industrial sites that can potentially be exposed to harmful gases.
Workers can carry it freely to a site when working, and it has a linked external warning system, as well as its own alarm when an abnormality is detected. Therefore, if a field worker cannot independently perform a rescue, the external warning system alerts others to the site’s problem. In addition, Gas Safety Master has a convenient function that can create a report automatically when needed by continuously monitoring, recording and saving a site situation linking with PC using telecommunications.

Swing Blind Valve
This is a powder blocking valve, preventing the entry of ash, etc. It is an innovative product that can reduce the water-backwashing period when backwashing an electric precipitator with water to reduce fine dust by installing at a bottom ash and fly ash facility in a thermal power plant. It has the advantage whereby a water-backwashing period is very greatly reduced because a valve is turned on-and-off by turning a disc from side to side when using a blind valve. It also has outstanding air-tightness performance due to a moving seat ring moving up-and-down and a triple O-ring.

Electrochemical Device

[INQ. NO. 2312M05] Established in 2017, Overplus Power Co., Ltd. has strived to develop high-temperature water solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) stack for clean hydrogen production without creating any greenhouse gases on the side.
With multidisciplinary areas such as materials science, chemical engineering, electrochemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering, developing reliable SOEC stacks comes with big challenges. After successful short stack development, Overplus Power is now commercializing the stack.

The SOEC stack is an electrochemical device that converts water steam into hydrogen, which is expected to lower hydrogen production costs significantly in the near future. However, it is challenged with relatively low durability that needs to improve.
Overplus Power’s stack fortunately delivers excellent current efficiency and durability that can compete with global producers such as Bloom Energy or Sunfire. The company can work with system suppliers to develop entire systems with customized stack characteristics.
Compared with competitive electrolysis technologies such as PEM or alkaline electrolysis techniques, where they require 52-55 kWh/kgH2, SOEC technology only requires 37 kWh/kgH2 which results in much better business results.

It features high insulation, high air tightness, high water tightness, and anti-crime performance.


HUZENTUM is a sliding window equipped with new technology as it is possible to adjust the free play of up to 8mm in a horizontal direction (inward/outward) thanks to the system hardware mounted inside the window pannel.


HUZENTUM totally seals the gaps between each of the window frames to ensure air-tightness, having a great effect on insulation, water tightness, and fine-dust prevention. It is able to endure outside wind pressure during a heavy windy season and block window noise by 100%. In addition, the window product is excellent in preventing crime, as it is possible to ventilate the air even while closed.


Thanks to the four-side tight function, the product shows great performance in insulation, air tightness, and crime prevention. The neoconceptual window system is the world’s first to ventilate the air even when locked and is equipped with an easy-open function thanks to the ergonomic design.


Depending on the direction (or rotation angle) the window handle is placed in, the window system performs three functions: open, ventilation, and close. When the handle is placed horizontally, the window is in the open mode to unseal the tightness with the front striker unlocked.


When the handle is placed upwardly, the window is in the ventilation mode to unseal the tightness with the front striker locked. When the handle is placed downwardly, the window is in the close mode to tightly seal the window frames with the front striker locked.

Elevator Safety Device

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Enhance your elevator’s safety by using the Rope GripperTM
[INQ. NO. 2207M12] This advanced elevator safety device called the Rope Gripper which is manufactured by Gum Young General Co., Ltd. (GYG Elevator) can be installed easily to existing elevator systems as it can be applied to a wide range of elevators to protect passengers from danger and injuries in the case of electrical or mechanical malfunction.


The Rope Gripper mechanically activates to stop the elevator by efficiently gripping the suspension ropes while hardly damaging the main ropes or other elevator parts. Once all conditions are normal again, it will automatically reset hydraulically.


Furthermore, the Rope Gripper is an independent safety braking device, being certified as a stopping element of ascending car overspeed protection (ACOP) and/or unintended car movement protection (UCMP).


Generally speaking, the Rope Gripper will grip the ropes and stop the elevator car when it exceeds the elevator’s intended rated speed for ACOP; while it will also do the same if the elevator car happens to leave the landing floor with the doors open for UCPM. Since the Rope Gripper was designed to activate for such emergency conditions, it usually takes a long time for the lining assembly to wear out from normal elevator operation before replacement is required.


The Rope Gripper is certified based on the standards of EN 81-1:1998+A3:2009, EN 81-20/50:2014 through the EU-type examination certificate.


Having been first sold in the USA and Canada in the 1990s by Hollister-Whitney, the Rope Gripper incorporates the highest quality and know-how developed from specializing in elevator products and equipment for over 100 years. In 2002, a technical collaboration agreement was established with them leading to the successful product localization in the Republic of Korea.


Since then, the Rope Gripper has also been supplied to countries such as Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan by Gum Young General (GYG Elevator). The Rope Gripper is already highly recognized in Hong Kong and Japan for its outstanding quality and performance.
