Adopting green refrigerants for a
sustainable “manufacturing site”
Reduces management man-hours associated with the “Freon Emission Control Law”
The Fluorocarbons Emissions Control Law requires users of equipment, including our products, that are equipped with CFC alternatives as refrigerants to take measures such as appropriate management and regular inspections to prevent leakage of CFCs. This requires a certain number of man-hours for management at the production site.
Switching to “GreenR™” models that use “green refrigerants” eliminates the need to manage these, and is expected to reduce man-hours and improve productivity at production sites.
We support the achievement of “carbon neutrality” for machine tools and semiconductor manufacturing equipment
In 2010, we succeeded in developing the first “Oilmatic” that uses a natural refrigerant (CO2 refrigerant (R-744). With our unique refrigeration circuit and control system, we received a patent (No. 6595253) in 2019. In 2020, it was awarded the 47th Environmental Award (sponsored by the National Institute for Environmental Studies, etc.) for its high energy-saving performance.
By deploying “GreenR™” models based on this technology, we support the achievement of carbon neutrality for “mother machines” such as machine tools from the perspective of “energy saving of peripheral equipment.”
Received the 47th Environmental Award
Realize a sustainable manufacturing site
Our products such as “Oilmatic” achieve ultra-precision processing in submicron units by suppressing “thermal displacement” at an extremely high level for workpieces produced by machine tools and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. important device to
The mission of “GreenR™” is to achieve both the “maximization of machine tool performance” required for Oilmatic and the environment-friendly “spreading of green refrigerants.” By promoting the social implementation of “GreenR™” models, we will strongly support the realization of “sustainable manufacturing sites” and aim to achieve the “Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” set by the United Nations by 2030.

Uses next-generation low GWP green refrigerant “R-1234yf”
Cny series
Air-cooled type for temperature control of spindle, hydraulic oil and lubricating oil
The Green Refrigerant “R-1234yf” has the lowest Global Warming Potential (GWP) of “1”, so there is absolutely no need for man-hours for management associated with the “Freon Emission Control Law”. In addition, by adding “refrigeration cycle optimization” to the conventional high-precision inverter control that is said to save energy, energy-saving performance can be improved and running costs can be reduced.
From the viewpoint of “green refrigerant” and “energy saving of peripheral equipment”, we strongly support the achievement of carbon neutrality for machine tools and customer factories.
