NTT's laser beam shaping equipment

NTT has developed a technology to easily remove rust from narrow or uneven surfaces by irradiating a laser beam shaped by a plate-shaped device using a diffractive optical element (DOE). It also eliminates the need for excessive laser power, making the work safer. The company has been researching the application of its technology for developing parts for optical communication to the maintenance of communication equipment that has many uneven and narrow spaces. The company expects to adopt this technology in the kerening process, which removes rust from telecommunication equipment and exposes the steel surface. They will analyze the laser-irradiated surface and develop an irradiation method that is compatible with painting. Photo taken on November 11, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

Demonstration room for Omiya Kogyo's semiconductor and electronic component manufacturing equipment

Omiya Industries (Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture) has remodeled its demonstration room for semiconductor and electronic parts manufacturing equipment in its Okayama Plant (Kasaoka City, Okayama Prefecture). The area of the room has been increased by 4.8 times compared to the previous one. This will allow customers to check and evaluate the operability, productivity, and maintainability of the actual equipment, which will lead to the introduction of the equipment. In order to maintain confidentiality, customers are increasingly bringing in their own samples for testing, and we have established a system that allows us to concentrate on testing. Omiya Kogyo develops and manufactures equipment for attaching and peeling off protective tapes for silicon wafers, ultraviolet (UV) irradiation equipment for curing films, wafer expanders, and dryers for cleaned wafers.
