[Free Sample Available] A heating material made by turning a new carbon nanotube (CNT) material into paint and applying a thin film coating.

Unlike planar heating elements made from metallic materials such as nichrome wire, this is a material that heats uniformly across its entire surface. HEATNEX uses CNT as a resistive element and prints it onto a film, achieving a flexible heating material. By adjusting the transparency, it can be made close to transparent and can also accommodate specifications that allow light to pass through. 【Features】 ■ A flexible heating material that can heat uniformly across its entire surface. ■ Heats efficiently through heat conduction and far-infrared radiation. ■ Excellent thermal conductivity and thermal radiation, allowing for instant heating and cooling. ■ It is possible to create a lightweight planar heating element by forming electrodes with conductive paste, etc. ■ Capable of emitting about five times more far-infrared radiation than metallic heating elements. *Evaluation results are based on internal comparisons. 【Newly Developed Products】 High-Temperature Compatible Products - Heat Resistance: 200℃ (Standard Product: 80℃) Using polyimide as the substrate, it can heat at higher temperatures compared to standard products. Low-Voltage Compatible Products - Heat Resistance: 80℃ - Surface Resistivity: 30Ω/□ (Standard Product: 150Ω/□) It can be used at low voltage, making it widely applicable. *For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Achieve cost reduction and weight reduction! With deep drawing processing, a production efficiency increase of up to 4 times is possible.

We propose value-added solutions by transitioning products that were traditionally processed through cutting or pipe processing to deep drawing processing. By converting from cutting processes, we achieve not only cost reduction but also weight reduction. Furthermore, by transitioning from pipe processing, we also achieve high precision. At Advanex, we can accommodate various shapes through our unique manufacturing methods. Please refer to the attached photos for the shapes. 【Bulge Processing】 [Points] - Capable of processing bulge shapes in the middle section of tubular products. - Unlike conventional bulge forming, we can shape the bulge in the product's middle section using only molds. 【Giboshi Processing】 [Points] - Capable of processing with a necked shape (giboshi shape) at the tip. - By adding a neck to the product's tip, we can enhance the pull-out strength against vibrations. - Since the deep-drawn products are processed with giboshi, there are no seams in the product. 【Irregular Drawing】 [Points] - Through transfer drawing, we can achieve integrated forming from blanking to irregular drawing within a single mold. - Complex irregular shapes can also be formed within the mold.

The particle visualization technology developed under our brand "ViEST" has a very high level of detection sensitivity, capable of visualizing the suspended or adhered states of micro and nano-sized particles in real time. We are engaged in the sale of visualization systems and contract services for evaluation (investigating particles and airflow in production processes, inside and outside manufacturing equipment, evaluating the performance of cleaning products, proposing yield improvement measures, etc.) both domestically and internationally. In manufacturing environments, invisible fine foreign substances, dust generation, particle adhesion due to static electricity, and airflow disturbances can cause quality defects and reduced yield. Our company clarifies these contamination factors through visualization technology and provides consistent support from identifying the source of the problem to considering and confirming improvement measures. Do you have any of the following concerns? - Unable to identify the cause of foreign matter contamination - Want to check airflow and cleanliness in clean rooms - Want to understand dust generation from manufacturing equipment and transport systems - Want to reduce particle adhesion to films and substrates - Want to improve contamination that leads to reduced yield

Additionally, foundational models, semiconductors, sensors, actuators, and robotics-related technologies that support Physical AI are becoming increasingly significant from the perspective of economic security, particularly in terms of responding to supply chain risks and securing and managing critical technologies. This lecture will organize the basic concepts and key technologies of Physical AI, discuss its potential applications in manufacturing and industrial sectors, outline practical considerations for implementation and operation, and explain the actions that companies should take moving forward.

[Instructor] Nobuyuki Oonaka, CEO of Bridge Inc., Project Designer [Key Lecture Content] "Why do new businesses often come to a halt?" The cause may not be a lack of ideas or talent. Through supporting over 300 new businesses and business developments, I have learned that what separates success from failure is "the structure of the organization"—specifically, how decisions are made, how dialogue occurs, and how assumptions are shared. In this seminar, based on the book "How to Create Self-Driving New Businesses" (Shoei-sha), we will analyze the "communication problems" that cause new businesses to stop as a structure. The goal is to develop a common language within the organization to identify "where we are stuck and what actions we should take." I will share how to use the "self-driving map" in practical terms.

In this seminar, we will focus on the challenges of sensitivity reduction and separation performance in GC/MS analysis, and introduce the latest technologies and practical know-how that can help solve these issues. This time, we will also have a presentation from LECO Japan, who will discuss the benefits and applications of high-resolution and high-separation analysis with real examples. Additionally, Restek will introduce column technologies effective for improving sensitivity in trace analysis. Restek: We will explain the inert performance of the RMX GC column, which is effective for improving sensitivity in trace analysis, and the column technology that suppresses adsorption loss in low concentration areas, along with actual measurement data. LECO: We will present the latest application examples of comprehensive detection of trace components using high-sensitivity GC-TOFMS and RMX columns, including environmental, aroma, and material analysis. This content is recommended for anyone involved in multi-component analysis using GC/MS, whether for target or non-target analysis, as well as those who are just starting out. We will provide clear explanations suitable for beginners in GC/MS, so please join us.
