  • Patent number: 9360458
    Abstract: The rotary transformer 5 includes a plate-shaped stator 51 having a coil arranged on one surface thereof, and a plate-shaped rotator 52 having a coil arranged on one surface thereof, in which the respective coil-arranged surfaces are disposed to face with each other so that signal transmission in a frequency range of 1 to 10 MHz is performed between the coils. The stator includes a substrate 512 on which a plurality of one-turn coils are formed into a concentric shape, and a supporting member 513. The rotator includes a substrate 522 on which one-turn coils 521 of same number are formed into a concentric shape, and a supporting member 523. Air or a material M which is an insulator and has a relative magnetic permeability substantially equal to 1 is lying between the substrate 512 and the supporting member 513, and between the substrate 522 and the supporting member 523.

  • Patent number: 9199291
    Abstract: An operation management device performs an operation management for electric resistance welding in which a strip-shaped metal plate is formed to have a cylindrical shape in such a manner that both end portions of the metal plate gradually face each other while the metal plate is conveyed, and a Vee convergence section, which is a portion at which both of the end portions butt against each other while facing each other, is welded.

  • Patent number: 9199290
    Abstract: A squeeze roll stand includes a combination of a fixed portion installed at a joint position of an electric resistance welded pipe manufacturing line, in which squeeze rolls excluding left and right upper rolls are detachably assembled, and a movable portion overlying the fixed portion, inside which left and right upper rolls are detachably assembled, the movable portion being inclined, taking a back surface downstream side as a fulcrum point, toward a same side from an assembling position on the fixed portion to a retreat position to open an upper part of the fixed portion. The movable portion is driven and reciprocated between the assembling position and the retreat position with cylinder type actuators as a drive mechanism. At the retreat position, the movable portion overlies a bead grinding device arranged on the back surface downstream side of the fixed portion with a front surface facing upward.
