Improvement cases
CASE 01Short time breakdown in the productivity line at pouch distribution device
Customer issues
The food product machine gets caught at the shooter part, because the pouch is not slippery.
Proposed processing
Results・Effect
As a result of giving the shooter slipperiness, the frequency of production-line stops have decreased.
CASE 02Improved life of GFRP molding dies
Customer issues
Copper alloy molds have low hardness and corrosion resistance.
Proposed processing
Results・Effect
As a result of providing hardness and corrosion resistance, mold life improved thousands of shots to over 600000 shots.
CASE 03Improved wear resistance of complex injection molding dies
Customer issues
Copper alloy molds have low hardness and corrosion resistance.
Proposed processing
Results・Effect
Mold life improved from 3500 shots to 25000 shots, by providing a coating film with uniform thickness capable of covering complicated (complex） shapes.
CASE 04Prevented adhesion of film and inks residue on the die roll
Customer issues
It takes a long time and effort to remove the glue and inks adhering to the die roll.
Proposed processing
Results・Effect
As a result of providing non-adhesiveness, the cleaning cycle of the roller was improved from 3000m cycle to 5000m cycle.
CASE 05Achieved injection molding that doesn't use a mole release agent
Customer issues
Urethane foam moldings requires a mold release agent and a lot of time, because it is difficult to release.
Proposed processing
Results・Effect
The effect of eliminating the need for a mold release agent was obtained, and the frequency of mold cleaning such as the mold release agent could be reduced.
CASE 06Black coating that doesn't fade under UV light
Customer issues
The black alumite applied around UV exposure equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing process fades due to aging degradation and can't exhibit prolonged its performance.
Proposed processing
Results・Effect
Electroless black Ni plating （PHOSBLACKⅢ） is an inorganic substance, that does not change color under high-power UV light.
CASE 07Black coating applicable to vacuum equipment
Customer issues
Dry coating is generally used as a part in vacuum equipment, but it doesn't have high light absorption.
Proposed processing
Results・Effect
Black coating (SOLBLACK） has the highest light absorption rate among general plating, and has reduced the amount of outgas to less than 1/10 of general plating.
CASE 08Be-Cu (Beryllium Copper） products plating and reprocessing
Customer issues
Be-Cu (Beryllium Copper）is classified as a difficult to plate and reprocess material, molds need to be remade frequently as they are difficult to plate and often cannot be reprocessed.
Proposed processing
Results・Effect
Copper alloy molds can be used repeatedly as they can be removed and replated multiple times.
CASE 09Prevented adhesion of films by static electricity
Customer issues
Static electricity is generated when the film slides.
Proposed processing
Results・Effect
Static electricity can be released because of plating and fluororesin composite layer encouraging conductivity.
