In addition to the conventional chromatic aberration confocal method and spectral interference method, a thickness measurement sensor utilizing laser heating has also emerged. It can measure the thickness of both transparent and opaque materials non-contactly.

Presitech is a German manufacturer of non-contact sensors. It develops and manufactures optical sensors using chromatic aberration confocal method and spectral interference method. At the end of 2022, it acquired the French company Enovasense, adding sensors that utilize laser heating to measure the thickness of opaque materials to its lineup. The company specializes in high-speed and high-precision thickness measurement, which is used for inspecting wafers, coatings, films, paint films, anti-corrosion coatings, and more. It offers a wide measurement range, tolerance angles, and can accommodate various materials, including line sensors and area scanners suitable for full surface measurement. There are numerous achievements in integrating these sensors into semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and they are also used in LCD manufacturing equipment and inline inspection of films. Additionally, they are utilized as embedded sensors for tabletop machines such as standalone units. Enovasense's sensors have also demonstrated success in measuring coating thickness for aerospace-related components. *For product details, please refer to the materials available for download in PDF format.

Takagi Seiko Co., Ltd. will exhibit at the "Advanced Materials Technology Exhibition 2025" hosted by SAMPE Japan (General Incorporated Association of Advanced Materials Technology). ▶ Introduction of Super Engineering Plastic Carbon Fiber Molded Products Clips used in aircraft structures have traditionally been made of aluminum, but in recent years, there has been a shift towards products made with thermosetting resins for the purpose of weight reduction. Our company is focusing on composite materials that combine thermoplastic super engineering plastics with carbon fibers, and by utilizing our unique molding system, we are engaged in research and development of clips that achieve both lightweight and high-speed mass production. ▶ Introduction of Liners for High-Pressure Hydrogen Tanks By leveraging our rotational molding technology, we have achieved the production of seamless, long liners for hydrogen tanks while keeping capital investment low. This technology not only contributes to the spread of environmentally friendly hydrogen energy but also promotes carbon neutrality from both the material aspect, by using plant-derived resins, and the manufacturing process. In addition to being able to check actual product samples, our staff will explain the technology overview using poster panels and other materials.

In advancing sustainable business activities, there is a demand for the reduction of petroleum-derived materials and the utilization of recycled materials and bio-based materials. Until now, the acquisition of certification has primarily progressed among chemical companies and trading firms, but there is an increasing number of cases where requests for certification are made to business partners in order to connect the supply chain. At the same time, efforts are being made to effectively utilize waste to promote a circular economy more than ever before. In the seminar, an ISCC auditor will explain the following points: - Overview of ISCC certification - Preparation for the audit - Audit points, etc. Through this seminar, we will provide hints for organizations to prepare for obtaining ISCC certification. If you are interested in "circular economy" and "sustainable product development" utilizing third-party certification, please join us.

The EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 came into effect in August 2023, promoting accountability, transparency, and sustainability throughout the entire battery lifecycle—from manufacturing and use to reuse and recycling. For those involved in manufacturing, compliance, sustainability, or supply chain management, now is the time to start preparing effectively. The webinar will clearly explain the key requirements of the EU Battery Regulation, the implementation timeline, and the specific actions that economic operators should take. Key topics include: - CE marking (from 2024) - Battery passport (from 2027) - Supply chain due diligence (postponed to 2027) - Battery waste management (reporting obligations in 2025, collection obligations in 2027) - Services provided by Bureau Veritas *Japanese subtitles available.

[Speaker] Hideo Oshima, Team Leader / Senior Researcher, Environmental and Energy Project Team, Research Department, Japan Research Institute, Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] As the issue of climate change becomes more serious, the importance of environmental and energy policies is increasing. However, looking abroad, in the United States, the Trump administration made significant shifts in environmental and energy policies, and even in Europe, which has been leading in environmental measures, there are movements to simplify environmental regulations and revise policies. Meanwhile, in our country, Mr. Takai, who points out the issues with mega-solar projects, has become Prime Minister, and a review of renewable energy-related subsidies is underway. This lecture will organize the domestic and international situations surrounding environmental and energy issues and examine the future direction of environmental and energy policies in our country. [Lecture Items] 1. International situation regarding climate change 2. Japan's environmental and energy policies 3. Future directions 4. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Instructor] On-site attendance / Live streaming Kioi Forum, 4-1 Kioicho, Chiyoda-ku, 1F New Otani Garden Court [Key Lecture Content] Employment regulations are important. They are not only for compliance but also represent the labor contract between the company and its employees. We must respond to various legal amendments and maintain them in a usable state at all times. Utilizing external experts can be beneficial for this purpose. However, as the client, one must possess the ability to verify the content. Additionally, if HR personnel have the capability to revise them themselves, they can accumulate know-how within the company. In this seminar, we will confirm the laws, surrounding knowledge, and concepts that serve as the basis for the employment regulations that HR personnel must properly understand and implement. We will provide clear explanations while sharing and discussing anticipated information for HR personnel who are struggling with labor management on a daily basis. Furthermore, for on-site attendees, meaningful information exchange is possible through mutual confirmation and Q&A.
