Pijon: Supporting Precision in Hot-Melt Application Processes

 

Miyoshi Kikai’s “Pijon” enables precise positioning that withstands heat and vibration.

“Pijon,” Miyoshi Kikai’s long-selling aluminum pipe joint,

is utilized across a wide range of production sites

as a core component supporting the stable operation of industrial machinery.

Here, we introduce a case study involving the installation of hot-melt adhesive equipment

an application requiring performance in particularly demanding environments.

 

On-Site Challenge: Overcoming “Positional Shift” Caused by Thermal Expansion and Micro-Vibrations

 

In hot-melt adhesive application processes, the equipment heats up as it melts the adhesive internally,

and the intermittent dispensing action generates continuous micro-vibrations.

In such environments, standard mounting brackets can gradually loosen due to thermal expansion or vibration,

potentially leading to positional shifts of a millimeter or more.

Even slight deviations in the application position

can directly result in higher product defect rates or production line stoppages,

making this a critical issue for manufacturing sites.

 

Solution: Robust Holding Power via a Unique “Slit-Clamping Structure”

 

The solution to this challenge is Pijon’s unique “slit-clamping structure.”

Pijon clamps the pipe powerfully across the entire surface area, rather than at mere points of contact.

When tightened, the slit section functions like a spring.

Even if minute changes occur due to thermal expansion or contraction, the material’s restorative force

(its tendency to return to its original shape)

ensures that a constant clamping pressure is maintained at all times.

This allows it to firmly hold the mounted equipment in place, even in harsh environments.

It can easily secure equipment weighing several kilograms thanks to its superior holding power and stability.

 

Benefits: “Pinpoint Accuracy” Through Ideal Positioning and Angle Adjustment

 

When installing hot-melt equipment, the ease of on-site adjustment is just as important as holding power.

With conventional welded mounting structures, once the setup is fixed, subsequent fine-tuning is impossible.

If you need to shift the position by even a few millimeters, the jig must be remade.

This results in a loss of both time and money.

With Pijon, however, you simply loosen a bolt using a single hex key…

…allowing you to adjust the position or change the angle instantly on the spot.

Because it accommodates the fine adjustments required for product specification changes or model switchovers,

it significantly improves setup efficiency and boosts line operating rates.

Instantly guiding the applicator to the ideal position for precision targeting

this is one of the key benefits of using Pijon.

 

**Focus on Safety and Lightweight Design**

 

Made from aluminum alloy, Pijon is extremely lightweight, minimizing the weight burden on the overall equipment

and reducing the load on the frame.

Additionally, the surface is treated with an anodized finish to enhance corrosion resistance.

For environments subject to harsher corrosive or thermal conditions,

a stainless steel (SUS304) series offering superior corrosion and chemical resistance is also available.

“No wobbling, no shifting, and the ability for anyone to instantly achieve the optimal setup.”

That is Miyoshi Kikai’s Pijon.

We address the specific needs of the production floor

by delivering “ease of use” and “peace of mind” backed by reliable technology.
