A new innovation in substrate manufacturing. Achieving improvements in production efficiency and inspection accuracy!

The APT-2600FD is a next-generation dual-side flying probe tester that can perform combination testing with up to 6 probes using both upper and lower flying probes simultaneously. It improves test coverage while reducing the risk of product damage due to board flipping operations, significantly shortening inspection time. Equipped with a high-performance measurement system and a variety of features, it contributes to quality improvement from prototyping to mass production. We accept evaluation tests at our demonstration rooms in Okayama headquarters and Tokyo branch, where you can bring in your boards. A complete testing process is possible, including the creation of inspection programs, testing using actual boards, and summarizing evaluation results. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.*

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 without causing any thermal impact on the base material. 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. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

Introducing the Isofill series from ISOLITE Industries. Utilization of waste heat from high-temperature clean gases generated during waste material processing and recycling is possible. We realize effective use of thermal energy. ISOLITE's products with fireproof insulation technology eliminate concerns about damage from sparks and flames. They have high collection performance and enable heat recovery with clean exhaust gases. We have a proven track record in sewage sludge incineration facilities and industrial waste incinerators, among others. Please feel free to contact us for inquiries.
