    Research & Development

    To enable us to give our customers the products and solutions they need as and when they need them, we continually upgrade and innovate by improving our top-notch development processes and honing our technological skills.

    R&D directly linked to customers

    R&D directly linked to customers

    In every activity from improving our current products to developing the next-generation products, our policy is to clearly define the roles played by our research and development departments, establish strong ties with other companies and universities, and develop cutting-edge equipment and facilities. We construct the mechanisms that will enable the development to be promoted with priority given to what will be useful and valuable for our customers in each and every phase of development.

    Providing R&D and manufacturing know-how

    Providing R&D and manufacturing know-how

    We are always hard at work developing truly innovative manufacturing methods that make it possible for us to deliver effective production processes to our customers. We accumulate the know-how that we gain in this process as intellectual property rights and serve the convenience of our customers.

    Bonding process development

    Bonding process development

    As a mounting technology front-runner, we are energetically tackling the development of fine bonding processes. We utilize surface-active technology, vacuum application technology and other technologies of our own to remain second to none in the industry when it comes to proposing new processes and the systems that bring those processes into reality.

    Use of scientific development techniques

    Use of scientific development techniques

    We promote the construction of the kind of mechanisms that will develop ground-breaking functions and high-quality products in short time spans by actively utilizing stabilization design techniques, QFD, TRIZ and other scientific development techniques.

    Innovative IT tools

    Innovative IT tools

    We use 3-dimensional CAD and PDM tools for design, we introduce the necessary improvements at the development stage to make the products more complete in every way by, for instance, checking out the product functions, operations and other aspects at the design review. Also we pursue concurrent product developments that draw counsel and advice from all the departments.

    Tie-ups with universities

    Tie-ups with universities

    In the field of research and development projects geared to the next generation such as room-temperature bonding processes and nanotechnology, we are always seeking to strengthen our ties with the universities. We encourage our engineers to engage in productive exchanges and to earn doctorates on the basis of the results of these exchanges.
