Method for predicting the temperature of workpieces heated by a heating furnace and provision of an EXCEL tool.
The process of applying varnish or adhesive to tapes and substrates and then drying them is used in various industries. When the applied material is diluted with solvents, the drying process that evaporates the solvent is important for quality control. If productivity is increased, the drying oven becomes longer, leading to higher equipment costs. Depending on the product, this also affects the subsequent curing process. To achieve efficient drying, the thermal performance of the heating oven is necessary. It is very important for tape substrates that the thermal performance of the heating oven is stable within the range of use. The thermal performance of the heating oven referred to here indicates the heat transfer rate. If the heat transfer rate and the temperature distribution of the heating oven are known, the temperature of the substrate in the oven can be predicted. Drying depends on the temperature of the substrate. Knowing the substrate temperature allows for the prediction of evaporation rates or residual solvents. I serve as a technical advisor and possess the technology for measuring the thermal performance of furnaces. Additionally, I have the technology for thermal calculation methods to predict the substrate temperature based on thermal characteristics and temperature distribution within the furnace. By modeling the drying phenomenon of the applied material, it is possible to predict the residual solvent.

basic information
Once you enter into a technical advisor contract, I will provide the following technology and information. I will support you until it can be practically used in your desired company. 1. Provision of technical information regarding the measurement method of heat transfer rate in heating furnaces and measurement jigs. I will assist and advise on the fabrication of jigs. The design of the jig is important for accurate measurements. 2. Provision of calculation methods for heat transfer rate from measurement data and advice on improving measurement jigs. Based on the measurement results, improvements to the jigs will be made. It may also be necessary to change the conditions of the heating furnace. 3. Provision of technology and information on calculating the temperature of the substrate from the heat transfer rate and furnace temperature. It will be necessary to align the temperature from thermal measurements with the measured temperature. 4. Creation of a drying model and development of a drying model calculation method. Since this involves model development, I will consult individually. 5. Resolution of issues in the drying process. Ultimately, the goal is to resolve the challenges currently faced, utilizing thermal calculations for this purpose. Through the introduction of these technologies, I aim to achieve improvements and reforms in the drying process.

Applications/Examples of results
This thermal calculation method was utilized for the cooling of optical fibers and electrical wires. The development of the solvent for the coating material was carried out for the coating process of wire materials that use solvents. At that time, we also considered modeling the curing after drying. However, we did not reach the verification of the evaporation and curing models. After becoming independent, I conducted my own research and gathered information on the evaporation and curing models for modeling. The model varies depending on the coating material, and I would be very happy if I could develop evaporation and curing models together with the representatives from your company. I think this explanation may not be very clear, so please feel free to contact me.
Company information
The D&T Lab focuses on supporting research, development, design, and prototyping for manufacturing process engineering (design) and production technology development (technology). Particularly in the case of new businesses, it is necessary to introduce technologies that the company does not possess and to select and collaborate with partner companies. By utilizing so-called open innovation, we aim to shorten the marketing and product/service development periods, facilitate early entry into new fields and applications, and establish a unique strategy for the company using that information and technology to promote the business in earnest. Once we reach that stage, operations can be managed similarly to existing businesses. Therefore, the challenges of new ventures depend on how efficiently and effectively we design the entry stage. At that stage, it is necessary to gather information and technologies that the company does not possess and to make choices that are suitable for the company. I have experience in the development and launch of mass production equipment and the introduction of new products into factories. From the successes and failures I encountered, I have learned how to design mass production lines and introduce new products in my own way. Additionally, I possess processing techniques for various materials such as copper products, compound semiconductors, quartz glass, and plastics. I will contribute using the insights gained from these mass production technologies and material processing techniques.
