We exhibited at "Film Tech Japan 2023."

It has become possible to measure gel time with sheets such as glass fiber prepreg and carbon fiber prepreg.

Until now, it has been difficult to measure extremely thin prepreg sheets and carbon fiber prepreg sheets, but it is now possible to measure gel time while keeping them in sheet form. Measurement of liquids and powders is also possible. - Direct measurement of sheet-like materials eliminates the need for powdering PCB prepregs. Direct measurement of PCB prepregs, carbon prepregs, etc. is possible. Measurement of RCC (resin-coated copper foil) is also possible. - Measurement from thin to thick materials with a single sheet. Supports from 10um ultra-thin prepregs to thick non-woven fabrics. - Measurement of powder and liquid samples that was difficult with the stirring torque method. Broad compatibility with samples containing highly filled fillers, anaerobic samples, gel-like samples, etc. - Visualization of curing behavior in graphs. Calculates and graphs viscosity, phase difference, shear modulus, etc. from the measured stress. - Measurement of the viscoelasticity of fluids. Rheological measurement of non-Newtonian fluids such as samples that do not cure. - Confirmation of stress, viscosity, and phase data is possible.

• Testing Equipment and Devices

Accurately measure gel time! You can easily create control charts, histograms, and Pareto charts from statistical data.

To conduct effective and accurate analysis in the manufacturing field, it is important to objectively analyze actual data rather than relying on the experience or intuition of the measurer. The gel time measurement device "Madoka" can measure gel time with good reproducibility, eliminating the need for skilled techniques. Statistical methods can be employed to improve the efficiency of quality control operations. Challenges in Gel Time Measurement ■ Skilled techniques are required for measurement → By simply selecting the registered measurement conditions, the same results can be obtained regardless of the skill level of the person measuring. ■ Standardization of measurement criteria is difficult → Automated measurement allows for operation under the same conditions between factories and suppliers. ■ It takes time to compile the vast amount of data measured By utilizing dedicated software, management charts, Pareto charts, and histograms for the necessary resins and lots/periods can be easily created.

• Testing Equipment and Devices

It is possible to measure the thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and interfacial thermal resistance of TIMs in thin films of less than 50μm in conditions close to actual products.

The measurement samples (gel-like liquids, sheets, solids) are measured between two metal test heads with known thermal conductivity (aluminum or copper) in the shape of a cylinder or rectangular prism. The temperature gradient ΔT and heat flow Q in the sample are measured, and the effective thermal resistance Rtheff is determined. By applying pressure and changing the thickness of the sample while repeating the measurements, the thermal conductivity (W/m·K), thermal resistivity (mm²·K/W), and interfacial thermal resistivity (mm²·K/W) of the sample can be calculated using the formulas and graphs below. TIMA5 is a groundbreaking device that can control the sample thickness (gap), pressure, or sample temperature for measurements.

At construction sites, temporary parking lots may be established for workers and construction-related vehicles. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can easily occur due to rain, which may hinder vehicle access. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in temporary parking lots, a suitable environment for vehicle passage and parking can be created while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in the necessary areas, and after the construction is completed, they can be removed and repurposed for temporary roads or access routes. The 5×10 panels weigh approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panels weigh about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, allowing for changes in parking space. Additionally, they offer benefits unique to wood, such as glare reduction, noise reduction, and CO2 fixation. They are registered as a technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A," and can be utilized for the development of temporary parking lots and innovative public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
