Suppressing crack transfer and improving quality! "Super Mirror Crack-Free Roll"

Are you having trouble with cracks in the plating transferring onto the mirror-finished rolls for film molding? It can be improved with crack-free plating.

Hard chrome plating has excellent hardness with a hardness value of HV750 to 900, but it has the issue of cracks (fine fissures) in the coating, which means that no matter how much the surface is polished to a mirror finish, the cracks can transfer to the product. Our company has long had the technology for a non-crack chrome plating called "Cloamore." The hardness can reach up to HV1800 through heat treatment at temperatures between 200°C and 600°C, and due to being crack-free, it has excellent corrosion resistance. However, since the coating can only be applied as a thin film with a thickness of up to 5μ, it has not been applicable to mirror surface rolls until now. However, we have developed a "Super Mirror Crack-Free Roll" that solves these problems by forming a special two-layer structure. 【Features and Effects】 ■ Achieves a super mirror crack-free surface with a roughness of Ry0.05 or less. ■ Since Cloamore is on the outermost layer, it has a hardness of about HV1200, which is approximately 1.5 times that of hard chrome plating, making it less prone to scratches due to its excellent wear resistance. ■ Being crack-free enhances corrosion resistance and reduces resin accumulation on the roll surface. It is also expected to improve anti-fouling properties and non-contamination effects. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

It is possible to consistently produce heat transfer circulation rolls, which are essential for film manufacturing and lamination processing lines, from iron core production to surface treatment.

A preheating and cooling roll is a roll that manages the surface temperature by circulating a heat medium such as water or oil inside the roll, serving the purpose of heating or cooling substrates like films and sheets. There are different internal structures, including single-tube type, double-tube type, and triple-tube type. The single-tube type has a hollow interior, and depending on whether the inlet and outlet are the same or different, it uses either a single or double rotary joint. While the single-tube type is cheaper to manufacture due to its simple structure, it has the drawback that as the roll size increases, it requires more heat medium for preheating and cooling, and the heat medium tends to stagnate, leading to uneven surface temperatures. The double-tube and triple-tube types have an internal tube placed inside the outer cylindrical pipe of the roll, allowing the heat medium to flow through the gaps between the pipes. This structure can limit the amount of heat medium to the flow paths, and since the heat medium flows through the gap between the outer and inner tubes, it can efficiently preheat and cool with less variation in surface temperature. If the inlet and outlet are different, it is structured as a double-tube type; if they are the same, it is structured as a triple-tube type.

"Because it's an invisible place, we won't overlook it." Japan's climate is characterized by high temperatures and humidity, and particularly after typhoons and heavy rains, the conditions can be harsh for homes. It's not just the roofs and exterior walls that are affected by rain and wind. The area beneath the floor is actually the most susceptible and often overlooked point. This time, we will explain the "checkpoints for under the floor" that should be confirmed after a typhoon or heavy rain, the "responses" if abnormalities are found, and measures for preventing recurrence.

As part of the "Hometown Ibara Future Creation Human Resource Development Project," we welcomed local elementary and middle school students to the special summer program "Ibara Job Exploration Tour 2025," a collaboration between the Ibara City Chamber of Commerce and the Corporate Branding Committee. We conducted a presentation that clearly and enjoyably introduced how our technology supports society, allowing the children to learn about the appeal of manufacturing and the significance of working while interacting with actual devices and products. Through this initiative, we hope to deepen our connection with the community and nurture the curiosity of the children who will carry the future. We sincerely thank everyone who participated, as well as all those involved in planning and organizing the event.

We will disclose the interim financial results for the fiscal period ending December 2025.
