Achieving a uniform coating film by using lifting and tilting functions for complex-shaped workpieces.

This device allows for the prevention of liquid pooling and approaches a uniform coating film by tilting the workpiece to an angle that facilitates liquid flow (Y-axis) during the lifting process (X-axis) for complex-shaped workpieces that are prone to liquid pooling in a vertical lifting posture. Additionally, for high-viscosity liquids that may cause dripping due to the posture after lifting, it is expected that changing the workpiece posture using the tilting function can also prevent dripping. As an option, it is possible to propose a 3-axis type by adding an additional axis and incorporating a rotation function to the tilt, allowing for a more uniform liquid flow onto the surface of cylindrical workpieces, resulting in a more uniform film formation.

The dip coater used as an experimental machine has been enhanced with a paint circulation unit and air conditioning system, expanding it into equipment suitable for sample production and small rod manufacturing.

By equipping the experimental machine, which tends to go into standby after completing experiments, with extended functionalities, it can transform into a facility capable of producing sample products that can be proposed to customers and small rod production as it progresses to the next stage. In reality, products formed by coating experiments such as dip coating often cannot be repurposed into sample products or actual products for customers due to irregularities in the appearance of the coated film. By reducing contamination, which is the main cause of these appearance irregularities, within the coating system, it is possible to dramatically decrease the disturbances in the coated film. ● Coating system for contamination reduction 1) Removal of contamination brought into the paint from the substrate (workpiece): Filtering during paint circulation and controlling the paint temperature within a certain range. 2) Increasing cleanliness by enclosing the coating area with a local booth and using a fan filter unit (FFU). The device that incorporates these two functions is the "FD200C2." We also offer the following options: - Monitoring of paint concentration and replenishment system - Temperature and humidity management within the local booth By adding these features, it becomes possible to provide even higher quality products.

We have added a new **"Glossary"** to the Hyper CLT sheet website. In the civil engineering and construction industries, there are many specialized terms such as "CLT," "NETIS," "temporary roads," and "wooden lightweight sheets." Therefore, we have introduced related terms in an easy-to-understand manner so that those who are encountering Hyper CLT sheets for the first time can understand the products and technologies. Hyper CLT sheets are wooden lightweight sheets for civil engineering that utilize wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology as **"TH-250021-A."** We hope that by not only conveying the features of the product but also sharing the underlying technologies and terminology, users will feel a closer connection to Hyper CLT sheets. We will continue to enhance our website and provide clear information related to wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT.

On September 15, 2026, we issued a press release regarding the wooden lightweight sheet "Hyper CLT Sheet." The Hyper CLT Sheet is a civil engineering sheet that utilizes CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) stacked in an orthogonal direction. It can be used in various locations such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 version weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers environmental benefits such as reducing glare and metallic sounds typical of wood, as well as CO2 fixation. Furthermore, it can be proposed for the use of new technologies in public works as a **registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism "TH-250021-A."** Through this press release, we aim to expand the new wooden lightweight sheet that combines wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT to more construction sites.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
