From research and development of next-generation secondary batteries to mass production. Providing ultrasonic joining devices/ultrasonic cutters!

In the manufacturing of "next-generation secondary batteries," including all-solid-state batteries, various forms of joining and material cutting are required to meet high quality standards. Additionally, when performing joining or cutting processes, measures must be taken in the manufacturing equipment to prevent the generation of hydrogen sulfide due to reactions with moisture in the air. Our company offers "ultrasonic bonding devices and ultrasonic cutters" designed for next-generation secondary battery specifications, aimed at the joining/cutting of electrode foils, joining between battery terminals, and cutting of green sheets. Each device utilizes our unique technology based on ultrasonic waves, enabling high-quality direct bonding at room temperature and cutting without dragging the material. We also provide a dry environment where the evaluation conditions and equipment specifications can be verified with actual machines, allowing for consideration of implementation. 【Features of the Equipment】 <Joining> ■ Ultrasonic bonding device capable of wide-ranging foil bonding and compatible with dry environments <Cutting> ■ Ultrasonic cutter capable of straight/shape cutting and suitable for dry environments ■ Can cut negative electrode foils, positive electrode foils, Li foils, etc. <Fusing> ■ Can continuously and freely fuse separator materials through programming For more details about the products, please refer to the materials.

[Instructor] Shintaro Fukasawa, President of BM Consulting Co., Ltd. Business Mathematics Educator [Key Lecture Content] There are things we somewhat think about. However, when asked for our opinions, we hesitate to speak up because we dread being questioned with "What is your basis?" This is a growing issue among business professionals. Shintaro Fukasawa, the only advocate of business mathematics in Japan and a business mathematics educator, identifies the inability of modern business people to articulate their thoughts and ideas as a "symptom." He finds commonalities between mathematical thinking and verbalization, and has developed a verbalization framework that anyone can easily practice. This content has been compiled into a book titled "How Can an Idea Become 'My Opinion'? - A Class to Turn Intuition into Logical Opinions" (2023). In this session, we will extract the essence of that book and explain how to create "logical and communicative opinions." You will take home tips that will dramatically change your business communication starting tomorrow.
