Due to the rise in globalization and semiconductor demand, some resins are still in a difficult-to-obtain situation. In design, we believe it is important to create drawings that match our customers' requests. However, it is expected that the shortage of raw materials and the soaring prices of materials will continue in the future, making it increasingly difficult to select resins that meet our customers' needs. This document introduces a list of basic resin grades. Even within the same grade, there are resins with different characteristics, so for those who are already familiar, why not take another look?

The Japanese government has declared its aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. One of the urgent measures to realize this is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In Japan's industry, CO2 emissions are largely attributed to the manufacturing sector. By extending the lifespan of components and reducing the frequency of replacements, we can decrease the energy used to produce additional parts, which may lead to a reduction in CO2 emissions in manufacturing. To extend the lifespan of components and ultimately reduce CO2 emissions, "wear-resistant resin" is essential. Would you like to contribute to carbon neutrality with wear-resistant plastic?

In recent years, with the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, the digitalization of various parts of society has progressed, and semiconductors have further increased in importance as a core product. In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, thorough quality control of products on the manufacturing floor is required, particularly in relation to foreign matter issues that can cause product defects. Additionally, fastening components such as jigs and bolts made of aluminum alloy used during the manufacturing process may undergo anodizing treatment, but there is a problem where the coating can crack or peel off at high temperatures. In the semiconductor manufacturing sector, we prevent the generation and contamination of dust due to coating peeling by using "Crackless Hard Anodizing," which can withstand temperatures up to 350°C, unlike regular anodizing. 【Characteristics of Crackless Hard Anodizing】 ■ Electrical insulation, heat resistance ■ Corrosion resistance, dust-proofing ■ Heat dissipation, sliding properties *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Due to the current global semiconductor shortage, the demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment is also increasing. In semiconductor manufacturing equipment, precision and durability are required to produce semiconductors without any defects. As a result, many parts of semiconductor manufacturing equipment are made of difficult-to-machine materials and are valuable, making it quite challenging to replace these parts. Therefore, by using grinding processes to achieve high precision even with difficult-to-machine materials, dimensional accuracy can be improved, reducing wear and preventing deterioration of the parts. Why not reconsider your processing methods and extend the equipment's lifespan through grinding? **Effects of Grinding Processing:** - **Increased Equipment Lifespan** - Grinding the target parts improves dimensional accuracy. - A smoother surface reduces unnecessary wear, leading to an extended equipment lifespan. - **High Dimensional Accuracy Processing** - The amount of material removed per processing is minimal, allowing for high precision even with difficult-to-machine materials. - The use of grinding machines enables surface processing at the micrometer level. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Recently, natural disasters, particularly the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, have brought renewed attention to BCP (Business Continuity Planning) measures. It is undesirable for the procurement sources of raw materials for production lines, which are the backbone of the manufacturing industry, to be temporarily halted or scaled down due to disasters, leading to delays or stoppages in supply. Therefore, I believe it is necessary to secure suppliers that can provide a stable supply of products with abundant production bases and consistent quality. In this regard, Vietnam also has production bases, and its young and abundant workforce, along with proactive capital investment, enables further production capacity and stable supply. **Features of Vietnam:** - There is an additional 3,000 m² of vacant space behind the factory. - Equipment investments are planned according to social demand and customer needs. - We contribute as a partner to supply the necessary products, prototypes, and equipment parts for companies' new businesses and product development. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Labor-saving refers to efforts to reduce the number of necessary employees by eliminating or improving unnecessary processes and introducing machinery. As stated in Parkinson's Law, work tends to accumulate unnecessary excess as organizations expand. Many tasks that we routinely perform may actually be unnecessary upon review. To trim this excess, we conduct a review, which acts as a diet, and by introducing machinery, we build new strength to make the entire work process more robust. Currently, this labor-saving approach has become an urgent necessity in the manufacturing industry. **Benefits of Labor-saving** - Increased productivity - Reduced labor costs - Standardized quality - Easier business succession *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
