Regarding TOK product ratio, custom products account for more than 70% of all products.
And TOK has an abundance of experiences for various markets, for example sanitary, home appliance, furniture, industry, automotive, duplicating machine etc.
For now we would like to introduce to you about “How to utilize TOK?”
with a past inquiry as example.

INQUIRY VIA WEBSITE (CUSTOMER)

-       The customer is a manufacturer related to screen doors like preventing from bugs
-       Desired to improve the motion when the screen door opens
-       The screen door has a spring roller inside that is turned to create tension to rewind to open position
-       To prevent from slamming they have already been using governor device which a competitor provided

PROBLEM
Current motion: When screen door rewinds to open position by spring force, the screen door sometimes stops on the way unintentionally.

CUSTOMER REQUIREMENT
They desired to have new function for preventing from the above problem,
and therefore they asked TOK if it was possible to create new product which is adaptable to acceleration speed of the screen door.

TOK DESIGNING
At first we had already an idea to create such a motion because we had an experience of developing for other application in the past.
Instead of the competitor product(governor device), TOK came up with a better solution: that is speed reducer using 2 types of spring inside.

ADVANTAGE

ü  Smooth rewinding according to acceleration speed
ü  Be unaffected by temperature ambient
ü  Allow screen door to move properly without stopping on the way
ü  Easy to operate to open screen door with a light touch
ü  High-durability: cost-effective

TOK can provide you the most promising idea for your application.
If you struggle to have desired motion, please let us know, we would be more than happy to have any inquiries always.
