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.

Sewing machine for sewing fasteners without tape jointly developed by JUKI and YKK.

JUKI and YKK have jointly developed the "Airy String" zipper, which has no tape, and a sewing machine for sewing the zipper. JUKI will manufacture the sewing machines, and YKK will buy and rent the machines and sell the fasteners. The developed fastener is expected to improve operability and design by integrating with the fabric. The sewing machine has developed a new mechanism to synchronize the elements that interlock the zipper with the fabric. This eliminates the need for stitching, which is done after the tape and fabric are sewn together to prevent them from shifting, thus reducing the sewing process. The two companies have been promoting joint development since January 2017, and in March announced a device that streamlines the sewing of fasteners for jeans, resulting in a significant increase in productivity.Photo taken on June 13, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
