Achieving reduced cycle time in chip manufacturing and high quality! Sensors for blade monitoring during wafer cutting.

"VBI" monitors the blade during wafer cutting, ensuring high reliability and reducing waste. By measuring blade wear and shape in real-time, it achieves scrap reduction without stopping production. The interface unit connects two sensors. It is possible to perform the same function with both or to execute two different functions. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Shorten cycle time! A versatile and easy-to-use optical interference measuring instrument designed for convenience.

The "NCG" is a thickness measurement device using optical interference technology. It calculates and measures the thickness of layers through the interference caused by the reflection of light waves at the joint surface of the workpiece. It is designed to manage the thickness of different materials such as glass, plastic, and silicon wafers. This product can be connected to various machines, allowing for high-precision and high-speed management of component thickness, and can be used in dry or wet environments within the specified limits of the specifications, either on the machine or inside the machine. 【Features】 ■ Guarantees processing accuracy within the desired tolerance ■ Reduces cycle time ■ Control for maintaining stable production under controlled conditions ■ Compensation for mechanical variations ■ History of measurement results *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Thickness measurement is possible from thick wafers to ultra-thin wafers (less than 1μm).

Non-contact measurements with high precision are achieved without damaging the measured object. Thickness measurements can be performed with extremely high resolution on all types of surfaces and materials, including highly reflective surfaces. The NCG-R system, equipped with a dedicated optical sensor, is designed with high protection performance (such as an enclosure compliant with IP standards), making it suitable for a wide range of applications from post-manufacturing inspections to in-process inspections. Thickness measurements of thin films, coatings, and nano-layers are the standout features of the NCG-R system, demonstrating exceptional performance. The NCG-R controller (visible light type) is compatible with all types of sensor heads, achieving optimized performance tailored to the measurement range and operating environment (such as working distance and spot size).

• Coating thickness gauge

Using interferometric (interferometer) technology, it is possible to measure the thickness of transparent and opaque films.

This is a series of controllers designed to measure thickness and distance in conjunction with optical sensor heads. Utilizing interferometric (interferometer) technology and a dedicated data processing software package, it provides a solution for accurate measurements even in situations where contact with the target area is not possible. With high precision and stability at the sub-micron level, it guarantees reliable measurements with excellent repeatability and accuracy. Additionally, it supports inline process control with real-time monitoring, contributing to improved production efficiency.

• Coating thickness gauge

It is possible to produce high-quality work without damaging delicate work and without destructive testing. It is a fully synchronized system that is resilient to variations in work and environment.

With the current processing methods and technologies, it is difficult to create complex shapes, integrated structures, lattice/honeycomb structures, porous structures, hollow structures, hybrid structures, and direct manufacturing from 3D data. Furthermore, through topology optimization and collaboration with generative design, we can achieve the creation of innovative aluminum parts that are not available from conventional or other companies, rapid development and prototyping of parts, dramatic reduction in the number of parts, ultra-lightweight and compact designs, cost reduction, and significant decreases in the number of processes and personnel involved. In this seminar, leading users such as J·3D, ODEC, and pioneers in white copper, who have achieved remarkable results in aluminum part manufacturing using metal 3D printers, will discuss key points and precautions for implementation and utilization, various manufacturing methods and technologies, rapid, low-cost, high-quality manufacturing techniques, uniquely developed next-generation AM technologies, groundbreaking case studies that significantly differentiate from other companies' parts, as well as factors for failure and secrets to success. Based on numerous research results and rich manufacturing achievements, we will provide a clear and concrete explanation for those considering implementation, beginners with interest, and those who have just started in the field. [Currently, half-price tuition] When applying, please write "Other [8,500 yen]" in the "Other" section above the application form on our website.

Connectors exist in very large numbers in the world. It is very difficult for customers to find connectors that match their specific applications from among them. The "Product Finder" on the ODU website serves as a tool to help find the right connector products. You can search for the optimal connector from various approaches, such as matching it to your cable, electrical specifications, waterproofing, etc. The connectors you search for will provide information on electrical specifications, durability, and also CAD data. In the online seminar, we will introduce how easy and quick it is to search for connectors using the "Product Finder" in a live format. ------------ Date and Time: November 19, 2026 (Thursday) 14:00 - 14:35 Venue: Online (A URL for the venue will be sent via email after you register) Speakers: Miho Kato, Sales Department, Kamex ONE Co., Ltd.

KAI Group will be exhibiting at the "Advanced Materials Technology Exhibition 2026" held at Tokyo Big Sight. This exhibition widely introduces advanced materials and technologies in the industrial sector, covering everything from materials to their processing. It provides an essential venue for business discussions that are crucial for the development of new technologies and products in advanced fields. We plan to showcase industrial blades, cutters, and scissors with exceptional sharpness, leveraging the technology we have cultivated through our razor products. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

We will be exhibiting products that have undergone surface treatment through thermal spraying. Specifically, we will showcase products that have been ceramic thermally sprayed on metal rolls and aluminum alloy products that have undergone hard surface treatment. We provide a comprehensive service for thermal spraying repairs of parts that have lost thickness due to wear, surface modification of metal components, and other related machining processes. Exhibition Dates: November 11 (Wednesday) to 13 (Friday), 2026 - 3 days Opening Hours: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Venue: Tokyo Big Sight, East Hall 2
