Notice of Participation in the Ceramics Product Exhibition - "11th High-Performance Ceramics Exhibition [Osaka]" from May 13 (Wed) to May 15 (Fri), 2026.

Minimum aperture φ0.02mm; high-precision fine hole ceramics can be produced with a length of 100mm.

Pilot Corporation's ceramics can provide high dimensional accuracy for fine pores and deep holes of less than 1mm, which are difficult to manufacture through machining. Thanks to the expertise in mixing, extrusion molding, and firing developed in the production of mechanical pencil leads, we can achieve dense and homogeneous molding, resulting in minimal dimensional variation within the same lot. Additionally, we can produce single holes, multiple holes, and irregularly shaped holes. By utilizing high-precision fine holes, we enable precise microflow control. Our ceramics, which have excellent corrosion resistance, can also be used with corrosive liquids and gases. The materials used are high-purity alumina, zirconia, and aluminum nitride. 【Features】 ■ Capable of manufacturing fine ceramics with a minimum outer diameter of φ0.3mm and a minimum hole diameter of φ0.02mm ■ For inner diameters of less than φ1mm, we can produce long products with an aspect ratio of over 200 (maximum length of 120mm) ■ Free thickness can be achieved for deep holes, from thin to thick walls ■ High precision with a dimensional tolerance of ±5% *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

• Ceramics

Can be utilized in processes that require wear resistance, insulation, and corrosion resistance. Achieves a small diameter of 0.5 to 2.0 mm.

Our company utilizes the technology cultivated in the manufacturing of mechanical pencil leads to produce fine, long-shaped ceramic products called "Zirconia Rods." Until now, we have offered these as original products, but in response to numerous requests, we have added standard products to our lineup. You can choose from four types with diameters ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 mm (in 0.5 mm increments). These are ideal for processes where "the use of metals is not suitable," such as those requiring wear resistance and insulation. They can also be used as materials for manufacturing components of precision equipment that are becoming smaller. 【Features】 ■ Capable of producing high-density molded bodies through our unique kneading, extrusion molding, and firing technology ■ Provides a smooth surface with an Ra of approximately 0.2 due to extrusion molding ■ Short lead times are possible because of domestic manufacturing ■ Sold stored in a dedicated slide tray that is easy to retrieve and has excellent preservation properties *For more details, please download the materials or feel free to contact us.

• Processing Contract

For controlling the flow rate of gases and liquids. Achieving stable flow and reduced pressure loss.

The pilot's "porous ceramics" can create numerous through-holes for extrusion molding. It is possible to mold thin ceramics with a minimum outer diameter of φ0.3 mm, fine-pore ceramics with a minimum pore diameter of φ0.02 mm, and through porous ceramics with over 100,000 holes. These are used in fields such as analysis, automotive, and semiconductors. 【Features】 ■ Even for pores with a diameter of less than 1 mm, it is possible to produce items with an aspect ratio of over 200. ■ High aspect ratio holes are penetrated in the extrusion direction. ■ Since the holes are straight and pass through a dense body, stable flow rates can be achieved. *For more details, please refer to the product catalog available for PDF download. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

• Ceramics

It is possible to manufacture small-diameter rods and fine-pore pipe shapes.

Generally, there are many flat or sheet-like products, but are there any parts that require rod or pipe shapes? Our "Aluminum Nitride" utilizes the extrusion molding technology of mechanical pencil leads and can be produced in aspect ratios of 200 or more. "Aluminum Nitride" possesses an extremely high thermal conductivity among ceramics and is an excellent material for electrical insulation and thermal radiation. The available sizes can be manufactured in an outer diameter of φ0.5 to φ6.0, an inner diameter of φ0.02 to φ4.0, and a length of 100mm. [Features] ■ For parts requiring heat dissipation ■ Superior thermal conductivity compared to alumina and zirconia ■ Capable of forming small-diameter pipes with fine pores *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us as well.

• Ceramics

Ceramics such as zirconia and aluminum nitride can be manufactured, focusing on high-purity alumina.

The pilot utilizes the extrusion molding technology of sharp cores and conducts consistent production within Japan. They excel at creating ceramics that are long and thin, with fine holes, similar to sharp cores, using their unique molding technology. They offer high-purity alumina, zirconia, and aluminum nitride with outer diameters ranging from φ0.2 to φ8, inner diameters starting from φ0.005, and lengths of approximately 120mm.

[Instructor] Hiroto Hayashi, Attorney at Law, New York State, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto Law Firm, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] Recently, batteries are expected to serve as a balancing power source for the realization of renewable energy as a primary power source. Due to changes in the business environment brought about by market development and government support measures, opportunities in the battery business are expanding. For grid-connected batteries, there are multiple options for long-term decarbonization power source auctions, tolling models, and merchant models, and the points of project development vary depending on the offtake method. Additionally, with the spread of the FIP system, the installation of batteries alongside renewable energy generation facilities is also progressing. In this lecture, we will explain the systems related to batteries, as well as key points for contract creation and negotiation, and financing necessary to steadily advance projects. We will also outline the challenges and prospects for project development and project finance formation according to each offtake scheme.

[Lecturer] Hideo Yamada, Ph.D. Honorary Professor, Waseda University Visiting Professor, Business Breakthrough University Graduate School [Key Lecture Content] Companies face various trade-offs (dilemmas) such as quality vs. cost, inventory levels vs. service levels, and standardization vs. differentiation. Traditionally, companies have responded to trade-offs by (1) finding a balance or (2) prioritizing one over the other. However, this does not lead to fundamental solutions. In this lecture, I will propose a third method that is neither balancing nor prioritizing. Using case studies from over 50 Japanese companies, I will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner. If we can turn long-standing trade-offs into trade-ons (coexistence), business opportunities will arise. [Lecture Topics] 1. What is a trade-off? 2. Trade-offs between customers and companies 3. Trade-offs within companies 4. Trade-offs within customers 5. How to turn trade-offs into trade-ons 6. Steps for exploration 7. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Lecturers] Corporate Partner, Nishimura & Asahi Law Office Osaka, Mr. Satoshi Niki Associate, Nishimura & Asahi Law Office - Foreign Law Joint Enterprise, Mr. Shu Numazawa [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the diversification of defense cooperation and advancements in dual-use technology have significantly changed the management and international sharing of advanced technologies. This lecture will clarify the basic structure of Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement and the significance of "similar treatment," while explaining the institutional transformation brought about by the introduction of the non-public patent application system under the Economic Security Promotion Act. Furthermore, considering the relationship between this system and the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement, we will examine how to reposition the patent applications and secrecy management of defense-related technologies within the context of expanding international joint research and multilateral defense cooperation. [Lecture Items] 1. Diversification of defense cooperation and advancements in dual-use technology 2. Basic structure of Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement 3.
