Marine Vessel Equipment

Latest tighter environmental regulations for marine vessels
In the marine vessel industry, air and marine pollution caused by air pollutants and ballast water discharged fromvessels is recognized as a serious social challenge. In response, the industry is implementing measures to solve
the issue, including regulating nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in 2016 and sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions in 2020, a
program that was enhanced by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
It is urgently required that exhaust gas from diesel engines—the core component of marine vessels—be madecleaner, and to meet this requirement, the industry will foster the electronic control of marine vessel engines, fuelconservation and the diversification of fuels. The industry is thus generating technological innovations against the
backdrop of enhanced environmental regulations.

Nabtesco’s Approach

Measure to improve fuel conservation for marine vessels
Nabtesco supplies electronically controlled hydraulic valves for use in electronicallycontrolled marine vessel engines. According to the operational situation of themain engines, the valves control the timing and amount of fuel injection as well as
the opening and closing of the exhaust valves, significantly contributing to cleaner
exhaust gas emissions.
We also offer maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, including
providing a monitoring system for the condition-based management ofelectronically controlled hydraulic valves. By enhancing preventive measures
including the detection of failures, we help customers use our products longer

Automatic Doors and Platform Screen Doors

Increasing the value and applications of automatic doors
Automatic doors are installed at various facilities including office buildings for safe and comfortable use by large
numbers of people. In addition to being used at public transportation facilities and residential buildings, automatic
doors are also widely used at hospitals and food processing factories, where hygienic control is required.
Recently, automatic door manufacturers have increasingly been expected to enhance the safety and energy
efficiency of their products to reduce environmental impact and to meet social needs, such as the need for
barrier-free facilities.

Nabtesco’s Approach

Providing optimal automatic doors for each location
Nabtesco has released the“NATRUS+e”automatic door that reacts only to people
wanting to pass through it.
The door can identify those who actually want to pass through it from among
those merely walking nearby by identifying the direction in which each person iswalking. This allows the door to automatically open and close only whennecessary. Compared with a conventional automatic door, the length of the time adoor is left open has been reduced by about 45%* and the electricity consumed
for indoor air-conditioning has also been reduced by about 20%*. The door thus
contributes greatly to energy conservation.
As the first automatic door manufacturer in Japan and a pioneer in the industry,
Nabtesco has been providing doors optimal for each location at office buildings,
hospitals, shopping centers, airports and convenience stores within and outside
Japan. We will continue to contribute to better indoor environments, energy
conservation and the provision of barrier-free facilities through our automaticdoor business.

Toward normalization in society
Prosthetic knee joints, which are used by those who lost their legs due to illness or accident, have a great impact onlevel of independence, mobility and social participation.
With a shortage of caregivers, it is expected that people in need of care will be supported by welfare equipment tobecome independent and lead their lives in their own way. For all people to lead vibrant lives as active participantsin society, it is indeed necessary to foster normalization.

Nabtesco’s Approach

Technologies to make it easier for people to go out and walkNabtesco developed the world’s first microprocessor-controlled intelligent prosthetic knee joint as a mobility assist tool. The microcomputer detects the walking
speed of the user, adjusts the air cylinder, and automatically controls the swing
speed of the knee joint for comfortable walking. For the latest model, named“ALLUXTM,”we have developed a function to prevent abrupt knee bending on slopes
and stairs to mitigate the burden imposed on users, in addition to helping themwalk comfortably, thereby encouraging them to participate more actively in society.
Furthermore, Nabtesco has developed a brake unit to be used in a rollator tocontrol its speed. The brake automatically functions when the speed exceeds acertain limit. This braking system prevents the rollator from moving too fast on
slopes or the like and helps to mitigate users’concerns about falling so that they
can go out with their rollators safely with peace of mind.

Nabtesco provides food manufacturers with super high-speed automatic fill/sealmachines, which can be used for retort food as well as to pouch a range of foodproducts, including soups and drinks. By supplying products that help producers
present food in smaller packages and thus extend best-by dates, we arecontributing to the reduction of food loss while also helping our customers
achieve more efficient and labor-saving production.
Moreover, by providing automatic fill/seal machines that integrate a range of test
equipment, including a system to check the printed dates and seal integrity,

Super High-Speed
Automatic Fill/Seal Machine

we also contribute to food safety and security.
Our automatic fill/seal machines are also used for refill packaging. It is said thatthe amount of plastic used to make a refill package is about 20% of that used tomake a plastic-molded container, and so Nabtesco indirectly contributes to reducing
the use of plastic with these packaging machines.
By globally supplying a range of packaging machines, we thus contribute to
the solution of social challenges, including food loss and the need to reduce plastic waste.

CMFS Equipment for Wind Turbine
Nabtesco launched offering for sale a failure preventive monitoring systemfor yaw devices used in wind turbines “( Condition Monitoring system with
Fail-Safe: CMFS”), along with the launch of a CMFS-based diagnostic service.
Wind power is regarded as a promising renewable energy source, and anincreasing number of wind turbines are being introduced in Japan andOuter appearance of the CMFS anddiagnostic service(Illustrative image)abroad. These turbines are now also being installed in harshenvironments, such as on windswept hills in cold areas and in offshore
locations.
The yaw device, which optimizes the movement of the wind turbine wings
according to wind direction, is constantly subject to external forces. Accordingly, it is necessary to implement measures to prevent the device fromquickly becoming worn or damaged.

CMFS is composed of an externalload detection sensor, a controller,
and a power supply device.

To meet this requirement, Nabtesco developed the CMFS by making full useof its unique motion control technologies. By controlling the yaw drive unit
with high responsiveness through the use of a sensor, the CMFS helps toprevent wind turbine failure and prolong its life. For the CMFS-based diagnostic service, Nabtesco will visualize analytical data on external forces aswell as the record of past abnormalities in real time, with an eye toward
providing warnings about any abnormalities to users of
the system and offer predictions on the remaining life of
the drive units, which will in turn help to maintain thereliability of the wind turbines for many years.
