Ogura will exhibit at the 29th Mechanical Components & Technology Expo or M-Tech for short at Tokyo Big Sight from June 19th (Wednesday) to 21st (Friday).

Ogura will showcase not only its primary product group, industrial clutches and brakes but also various digital era products that are AI and IoT related.

Ogura is particularly proud to showcase the Robot Hand and Tool Changer that are Ogura’s response to the needs from the ever-growing robot market. Ogura is going to demonstrate their capabilities with a robot that works side by side with people, Cobot.

In addition in the area of IoT, Ogura will showcase new products such as:

Brake Life Forecast System that can monitor the remaining life of spring actuated brakes in real time.
Low Friction Co-Efficient Spring Actuated Brake that achieves highly stable torque.
Spring Actuated Brake that works with Hallow Shaft that has the highest ratio in the industry between ID and OD.

With decades of experience and knowledge as a prominent clutch and brake manufacturer, Ogura proposes solutions in the areas of automation, energy saving and efficiency that are environment and safety conscious.

Ogura exhibited at 2023 International Robot Show that was held for 4 days from November 20^th (Wednesday) to December 2^nd (Saturday) at Tokyo Big Sight.

Going beyond its usual forte, clutches and brakes, Ogura showcased and demonstrated new products for the robot market that is expected to continue growth, such as Robot Hand, Tool Changer, Life Prediction System, etc.

Our demonstration with an actual robot attracted attention of many attendees.

The show was productive and successful as Ogura was able to exchange invaluable information, not only with the robot makers and its suppliers but also with many end users.

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.
