Palm-sized ultra-small artificial satellite aluminum frame 'MBF'

Leveraging years of experience in the tile mold business, we are also challenging the space sector. A launch into space was decided in 2020.

Our company leverages its many years of experience and technology as a roof tile mold manufacturer to take on the challenge of a new field: "Ultra-Compact Aluminum Frames for Small Satellites: MBF." Existing products, which are split-type and consist of multiple aluminum parts, require measures and evaluations to prevent loosening of screws. Our "MBF" is a monolithic structure machined from block aluminum, eliminating joints, which means there is no concern about precision being affected by the skill of the operator. This allows for greater focus on the design of the satellite's internal components. Since the start of frame development in 2017, we have garnered attention from industry stakeholders, and our frames have been adopted by satellites being developed by Shizuoka University and Kyushu University. (These satellites are expected to be used for research on space elevators and space debris countermeasures.) Our company will continue to take on challenges in new fields, starting with the space business. *Please download and view the product catalog from the link below.*
