A unique chain that can push and pull, making full use of technology that has the top share in the chain world. Tie the two chains together to form a single column 1. Background Tsubakimoto Chain’s long-term vision 2030, which started in 2021, aims to become a company that contributes to solving three social issues: “realizing a people-friendly society,” “building a safe and secure living infrastructure,” and “creating an earth-friendly society.” That’s what I’m aiming for. Among these, in the area of “realizing a people-friendly society,” we are currently developing the “Human Assist Business” as a new business. We are supporting the commercialization of Chain Waiter’s “Chain Waiter Z1,” a
step-removal machine specifically designed for wheelchairs, as its core mechanism is equipped with our own “Zip Chain.” Because the “Chain Waiter Z1” uses a new independent chain drive system, it required performance evaluation certification from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and we were able to obtain this certification through full support, including dispatching our engineers. By taking advantage of its unique independent earthquake-resistant structure, we will continue to develop it for use not only in private residences but also in public facilities. By further strengthening our support, we will not only ensure product safety, but also develop options and enhance our product lineup. 2. About the chain-driven wheelchair-specific step-removal machine “Chain Waiter Z1” “Chain Waiter Z1” is a wheelchair-specific step-removal machine that uses a zip chain to enable movement over steps of up to 4 meters. Ordinary elevators are wire rope hoisting type, which requires structural reinforcement of existing buildings, but this product is self-supporting chain drive using zip chain, and has an independent earthquake-resistant structure frame, so it can be used independently from existing buildings. Installation possible. If the building does not require additional reinforcement work and is an existing building that falls under the category 4 exception, there is no need to apply for building certification to the government (some governments may require notification). It can be installed in existing buildings, reducing total costs and short delivery times (minimum 1 day construction time). *The new product “Chain Waiter Z1 plus” will be exhibited at the “51st International Welfare Equipment Exhibition & Forum” to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from October 2nd to 4th.
