Achieves high pump performance in a compact size. Supports wafer manufacturing.

In the semiconductor industry, particularly in wafer manufacturing, precise control of the vacuum environment is a crucial factor that affects product quality and yield. To prevent foreign matter from adhering to the wafer surface and to ensure uniform processing, it is essential to maintain a stable vacuum level. If the vacuum level is unstable, it can lead to deterioration in wafer quality and delays in the manufacturing process. The NVC830.3 series achieves precise control of the vacuum environment in the wafer manufacturing process through closed-loop vacuum control, ensuring stable quality and high productivity. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Wafer transport - Etching process - Film deposition process 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Improved yield through stabilization of vacuum levels - Increased productivity through process optimization - Enhanced product quality

Stable supply of reagents through flow control. Contributing to the efficiency of mining.

In the mining sector, the accurate supply of reagents influences the precision of the extraction process and analysis. If the flow rate of the reagents is unstable, the reliability of the analysis results may be compromised, and the efficiency of the process may decline. The FMS-FC 1.400 metering pump with flow control achieves a stable flow rate through closed-loop control, addressing the challenges of reagent supply in mining. 【Application Scenarios】 - Ore analysis - Flotation concentration - Reagent mixing 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Improved analysis accuracy through stable reagent supply - Enhanced process efficiency - Consistent flow supply throughout the product's lifespan

We have added a new **"Glossary"** to the Hyper CLT sheet website. In the civil engineering and construction industries, there are many specialized terms such as "CLT," "NETIS," "temporary roads," and "wooden lightweight sheets." Therefore, we have introduced related terms in an easy-to-understand manner so that those who are encountering Hyper CLT sheets for the first time can understand the products and technologies. Hyper CLT sheets are wooden lightweight sheets for civil engineering that utilize wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology as **"TH-250021-A."** We hope that by not only conveying the features of the product but also sharing the underlying technologies and terminology, users will feel a closer connection to Hyper CLT sheets. We will continue to enhance our website and provide clear information related to wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

On September 15, 2026, we issued a press release regarding the wooden lightweight sheet "Hyper CLT Sheet." The Hyper CLT Sheet is a civil engineering sheet that utilizes CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) stacked in an orthogonal direction. It can be used in various locations such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 version weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers environmental benefits such as reducing glare and metallic sounds typical of wood, as well as CO2 fixation. Furthermore, it can be proposed for the use of new technologies in public works as a **registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism "TH-250021-A."** Through this press release, we aim to expand the new wooden lightweight sheet that combines wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT to more construction sites.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for 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! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
