For three days from October 18^th to 20^th, Ogura Industrial Corporation in New Jersey, exhibited at Equip Exposition, held in Louisville, Kentucky.

This exhibition is the largest of its kind in lawn and garden industry in North America, and various outdoor power equipment such as riding lawn mowers are showcased.

In addition to displaying PTO clutches, mobile clutches and spring actuated brakes at the booth, Ogura also played videos on 8 large flatscreen TVs on the design advantages of Ogura products and product troubleshooting.
At outdoor booth, racing lawn mowers and giant Monster Mower attracted attention of many attendees. The show was a great success for Ogura.

　　　 

Ogura is going to exhibit at 2023 International Robot Show at Tokyo Big Sight for four days from November 29^th (Wednesday) to December 2^nd (Saturday).

Robot technologies are becoming more and more ubiquitous from production sites to our everyday life. Many domestic and oversea robot makers and related companies are going to exhibit at this show. Ogura’s participation is the first time since 2019 due to corvid-19.

Ogura is going to showcase not only its primary products, industrial clutches and brakes but also various other products that it has developed in response to the needs in the era of the AI and IoT.

Among them, Ogura is particularly proud of the ”Robot Hand” and “Tool Changer” for the robot industry that continues to grow. These products are mounted on a robot for live demonstrations at Ogura booth.

Ogura is going to exhibit more new products that are developed for servomotor and robot. For example, a new system that monitors the remaining life of spring actuated brakes and spring actuated brake that mounts on a hollow shaft (the largest bore to brake size ratio in the industry).

Ogura as an  industry leading clutch and brake manufacturer, has cultivated unique know-hows, and is going to propose not only in the areas of automation, energy saving and optimization but also in the areas of safety and environment protection.

We look forward to seeing you at our booth.

Bangkok International Auto Salon 2023, known as the festival of custom made cars, was held for 5 days between June 28th and July 2nd at Impact Challenger Hall in Bangkok. It was Ogura’s fifth participation at this show. Ogura showcased its racing clutch, ORC and vehicles for drift racing in Thailand, equipped with ORC. As in the previous years, Ogura exhibited various promotional materials for ORC, such as the display panels and pamphlets in Thai, for different clutch series, emphasizing their unique characteristics and merits. Monitors, placed at 3 locations within the Ogura booth were not only used to explain Ogura clutch advantages but also to play the scenes from the last year’s chain international circuit 25 hour endurance race to showcase Ogura’s motor sports activities.

The 94th ordinary shareholder’s meeting was held at 10AM on June 29th at KBIC (Kiryu Business Intelligence Convention) Hall, located on the 6th floor of Kiryu chamber of commerce building. First, business reports and consolidated financial statements of the 94th financial period were discussed. Accounting auditor and supervisory board then reported the result of audit on consolidated financial statements. 4 proposals were voted and approved: 1) appropriation of surplus, 2) appointment of 6 directors, 3) appointment of an audit and supervisory board member and 4) bonus for the retiring directors.

Ogura exhibited at Tokyo International Fire and Safety Exhibition 2023, held from June 15^th (Thursday) to 18^th (Sunday) at Tokyo Big Sight. TIFSE is the largest trade show, held once every 5 years, hosted by Tokyo Fire Department, focuses on fire and safety equipment. Ogura showcased various new equipment such as the primary products, Fire hose Washer that is designed with the labor saving concept in mind and rechargeable electric-hydraulic life-saving tool, Ogura RP series that is being actively used at many rescue scenes. For Ogura, it was an opportunity not only to showcase its newest products that are answer to the needs of today’s market but also to exchange information with people in the industry.

　　

Ogura exhibited at the 28^th Mechanical Components & Materials Technology Expo (M-Tech), held from June 21^st (Wednesday) to 23^rd (Friday) at Tokyo Big Sight. Ogura showcased its products such as industrial clutches and brakes as answers to the needs arising from smartification. In particular, Robot Hand and Tool Changer that Ogura is offering for the expanding robot industry, Wear Monitoring System for spring actuated brakes that monitors the remaining life of the products in real time remotely—necessity in IoT (Internet of Things) and spring actuated brakes with stable slip torque and with large bore for hollow shaft (the largest hole to OD ratio in the industry). Ogura designs and manufactures products for that aide automation, labor saving, optimization, safety and protection of environment.

This year LEAP (Leadership in Engineering Achievement Program) Awards were announced by WTWH Media on October 18, 2022.  Ogura received the Silver Award in the Mechanical category for the MCNB-HS series brakes.  This year’s winners were chosen by an independent judging panel of 14 engineering and academic professionals. The MCNB-HS Series power-off spring applied brakes have oversized bores to allow wires to pass through the shaft’s hollow bore. They accommodate encoders, cables, hoses, shafts, and tools. The ratio of the brake’s field core diameter to outer diameter is leading the industry. Internal designs allow for reduced backlash, high cycling, long life, optimized torque per size, thin profile, low weight, limited drag, low heat generation, and low power requirements. Reduced backlash is important for precision and accuracy. Special attention is made to supply stable performance and response during total life for high-cycle applications. Torque is optimized to provide a smaller package size and lower weight. The thin profiles give an advantage where space constraints are tight. Low power requirements reduce energy consumption and limit heat generation.

 

 

Ogura exhibited at Tokyo Auto Salon 2023, held from January 13th (Friday) to 15th (Sunday) at Makuhari Messe after 3 years of absence.

Among the products Ogura showcased were metal twin clutch developed for Toyota Yaris, 5 motorcycle slipper clutches for Kawasaki, Honda and Suzuki and skeleton type clutch case that was developed as the original product for Ogura Racing Clutch.

As in the previous years, Ogura hosted a talk show. Guests were drivers who participated in various races such as Inter Proto Series, Toyota GAZ00 Racing Rally Challenge, GR86/BRZ Cup and ORC Rookie Racing that participated in Super Endurance Race. The most notable among the guests was the Driver Morizo (a.k.a. president of Toyota Motor Corporation, Mr. Akio Toyoda). The show attracted many attendees.

At Ogura’s booth, 2 automobiles and 1 motorcycle were displayed: GR Yaris that ran in Toyota GAZ00 Racing Rally Challenge, GR Corolla Morizo Edition and Yamaha YZF-R1 that raced in last year’s Suzuka 8 Hours.

Ogura’s motorcycle team, Ogura Clutch ORC with Ride In, announced the races that they are going to participate in 2023, and the members expressed their enthusiasm for the upcoming season.
