Introduction to Micro FT-IR

This year, we are introducing new additions! We will introduce the features of the three basic measurement methods.

There are three main measurement methods for "microscopic FT-IR": "transmission method," "reflection method," and "ATR method." In "microscopic FT-IR," which combines FT-IR with an optical microscope, it is possible to measure small substances on the order of several tens of micrometers that are difficult to measure with conventional FT-IR, using an aperture (field stop). While the transmission method is the basic measurement method in microscopic FT-IR measurements, the reflection method or ATR method may be more suitable depending on the shape of the sample and the feasibility of sampling. 【Characteristics of Measurement Methods】 ■ Transmission Method - Infrared light is irradiated onto the sample, and the transmitted light is measured. - Information is obtained from the thickness of the material that the infrared light has passed through. ■ Reflection Method - Infrared light is irradiated onto the sample, and the reflected light is measured. - Information is obtained from the surface of the sample. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Sampling using capillaries through surface tension! FT-IR analysis has become possible.

Traditionally, sampling of liquid foreign substances has been considered very difficult. In the liquid foreign substance sampling technique for FT-IR analysis, sampling is performed using a capillary and surface tension, making FT-IR analysis possible. 【Sampling Procedure】 ■ Liquid foreign substances on the substrate ■ Sampling with a capillary ■ Transferring the liquid onto a Si wafer for FT-IR analysis ■ Sampling in progress with the capillary ■ Transferring to the Si wafer *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Introducing the results of IR analysis on peripheral materials for LCD displays and raw materials (pellets) such as fibers!

PMMA (acrylic), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and PC (polycarbonate) are utilized in many applications, taking advantage of their characteristic transparency. They are essential materials for industrial products such as peripheral components of liquid crystal displays, protective films for mobile device screens, headlight covers, optical fibers, and textiles. This document presents the results of IR analysis of these raw materials (pellets).

Introducing the results of IR analysis conducted on polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and others!

There are many types of vinyl polymers, and they exhibit various properties depending on the molecular structure of their side chains. Additionally, differences in crystallinity arise from the bonding configuration of these side chains (stereoisomers). In this document, we present the results of IR analysis of representative vinyl polymers, including polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Aites conducts advanced data analysis based on chemical theory, ensuring that even subtle differences are not overlooked. Please feel free to consult us at any time. 【Contents】 ■ Analysis Sample: Vinyl Polymers ■ IR Spectrum (ATR Method) ■ IR Spectrum Comparison (Overlay) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Identifying substances through various approaches such as insights, spectral analysis capabilities, and other analytical methods.

There are many types of thermoplastic resins, but among them, ABS is widely used in various products due to its unique molecular structure. As an engineering plastic, ABS resin is utilized in a wide range of fields, including electronic products, automobiles, home appliances, and IT-related products. We examined the characteristic IR spectrum of ABS resin using FT-IR analysis.

By conducting two analyses, it is possible to obtain more detailed and accurate results!

This document introduces the characteristics of each spectroscopy method and the spectra obtained when comparing infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Both infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy are vibrational spectroscopies that investigate the vibrational energy of molecules, but the shapes of the spectra obtained from each method differ even when measuring the same substance. Infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy are complementary; information that cannot be obtained through a single analysis can be acquired more detailed and accurately by conducting both analyses. For more details, please refer to the catalog provided. 【Characteristics of Infrared Spectroscopy】 ■ Infrared absorption occurs when the dipole moment changes with vibration (infrared active). ■ Vibrations that cause a distortion in the symmetry of the molecule (leading to an electronic dipole) are highly infrared active. *For more information, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

• Vibration Testing

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out 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. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create 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! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.

Parking space management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, enabling efficient parking lot operations. For large parking lots, we recommend the "Floor Management Method" and "Block Management Method," which focus on cost reduction. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count and manage the number of passing vehicles. This method offers the advantages of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 For smaller facilities, we recommend the "Parking Space Management Method," where sensors are installed in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy. By providing reliable occupancy information, this method helps reduce unnecessary entry of new vehicles and ensures safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
