We process precision parts using photo-etching technology and high-definition hybrid etching with unique materials!
In photo-etching processing, metal thin plates are shaped into arbitrary forms through the photo-plate making process combined with the dissolving action of etching solution. There are no burrs or work hardening like in press processing, and micron-level fine patterns are possible. Etching is suitable for the manufacturing of precision parts. With our unique hybrid etching technology, nickel-clad materials are processed using a fusion of etching and electroforming techniques, achieving high-definition shapes. We also provide one-stop solutions for composite processing (bending, forming, etc.) and surface treatments (high-performance black treatment, etc.). Advantages of etching processing: - High-precision processing without burrs, distortion, edge curling, or work hardening - No need for expensive jigs like those used in press processing, significantly reducing initial costs - Capable of manufacturing and shipping in a short lead time, making it ideal for prototypes - Can process multiple items simultaneously, making it suitable for mass production Product examples: shims/apertures/mesh filters (bending processing), optical masks (black treatment processing), scales for encoders (encoder disks = slit disk shapes, linear scale shapes) [Metal materials]: stainless steel (SUS), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), nichrome (NCH), and others.
