At Acro Edge, we sell tensile testing machines that can be integrated with Olympus tensile testing machines. We already have a track record with universities. It is possible to observe under a microscope while conducting tensile tests. Please feel free to contact us for more details.

We will be exhibiting at the Kansai Machine Elements Technology Exhibition 2019, which will be held at Intex Osaka from October 2 to 4, 2019. We look forward to welcoming everyone at our booth within the Support Business Promotion Network. During the event, you will have the opportunity to try out measurements with the UV curing sensor Curea and the surface modification sensor Caisits. If you contact us in advance, we can provide a smoother experience. Please feel free to reach out to us. (tel: 072-836-0031, Email: office@acroedge.co.jp, Contact: Sasaki)

UV-curable resins are used in various manufacturing processes, ranging from electronic devices and automotive parts to high-performance films and camera lenses. How is the curing assessment conducted? Is one unit out of a thousand subjected to destructive testing? Are good products sampled for inspection? For instance, if good product sampling is performed, inspecting one unit out of every hundred from ten million products would result in the disposal of one hundred thousand units on a single line. Additionally, if a curing defect is found, all products from that line would be discarded. Curea is a device that eliminates production loss and significantly reduces costs by conducting full inspection through inline testing. This time, I will discuss how to utilize this product.

We are utilizing the switch from UV lamps for reactions to UV-LEDs. For more details, please feel free to contact us.

In February 2019, a method for measuring shrinkage rate using a resin curing shrinkage stress measurement device was established as a JIS standard. We will hold a seminar at our Tokyo showroom on the continuous measurement method for the shrinkage rates of UV-curable and thermosetting resins. It is scheduled for June and early July. Interested customers are encouraged to contact us.

We have released a demonstration video of the mapping measurement of the UV curing sensor Curea. Please feel free to contact us for more details.

In February 2019, we opened a new showroom in Tokyo (10th Floor, J Thanks Daiichi Building, 3-1-8 Iwamoto-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo). We have installed actual machines of our main products, including the UV curing sensor Curea, surface modification sensor Caisits, resin curing shrinkage stress measurement device Custron, UV LED irradiation device, and tensile testing machine Stency, and demonstrations are also available. Please make a reservation and come visit us.

Curea is also used in production lines for automotive parts, bicycle parts, and even electronic components. With sample slices, you can check whether your samples can be measured with Curea. Please feel free to contact us first.

The release of software for the UV curing sensor Curea and the surface modification sensor Caisits has been decided. This software can automatically measure several samples and calculate the average value. Quality control of the samples you want to evaluate will become easier. Please feel free to contact us.

On March 12, our company representative, Nakamune, will give a lecture at the seminar "Curing Mechanism of Epoxy Resins and Rapid Curing, Stress Measurement" hosted by the Technical Information Association. I will provide detailed information about the recently established JIS standard, "Continuous Measurement Method for Shrinkage Rate of UV-Cured Resins and Thermosetting Resins." Additionally, I will also discuss our product, the "Resin Curing Shrinkage Stress Measurement Device Custron," which is used for this measurement. We have received great feedback not only for the introduction of the device but also for our contract measurement services. We would be delighted if you could participate. Furthermore, if you contact us, you can join the seminar at a discounted price. Interested customers are encouraged to reach out to us freely. Please also take a look at the special Custron page we recently launched.

We have created a special page to provide more detailed information about the measurement method using Custron, which has been established as JIS. We will be updating it with new information as it becomes available, so please take a look.

Recently, AcroEdge has utilized the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "New Market Creation Standardization System" to establish a measurement method using our device, the Custron (Curing Shrinkage Stress Measurement Device), as the JIS standard JIS K 6941. Our company develops, manufactures, and sells the Custron, a device that evaluates changes in the curing state of UV-curable and thermosetting resins. It continuously measures the shrinkage rate and shrinkage stress of materials such as resins and thermosetting plastics, allowing for observation of their behavior. Measurements can be taken with a small sample size, and we supply this device to customers including universities and research institutions. We also plan to begin initiatives aimed at international standards in the future. Please feel free to contact us.

We are pleased to announce that Acro Edge has received the Osaka Manufacturing Excellence Award 2018. In order to live up to the name of "craftsmanship," which is also reflected in our company name, we will continue to strive to be a company that produces cutting-edge technology.
