Introduction of specialized sections (1) Let s Try with TRI ! Machining and Molding Section To provide a material with a form (processing) means to build up mechanical, electromagnetic, and optical characteristics in the material. This section engages in a wide range of processing types, such as removal processing (machining, electric processing, and laser processing), deforming (plastic forming and plastics molding), and adding (metal layer forming) and in this way supports manufacturing activities. Particularly, under keywords such as difficult-to-grind materials, micro fabrication, surface improvement, environmental harmonization, manufacturing of a wide variety of products in small quantities, micro forming, etc.

7 , this section sets out micro fabrication and complex processing of PCD molds, local alloying process by laser, press forming of fuel cell separators, and metal RP forming of low-elasticity and high-strength artificial bones. Meanwhile, with regard to post-process product evaluation technology, we conduct activities such as precision measurement (dimension, shape, roughness), material testing of plastics (tensile, bending, and compression), observation and element analysis by a scanning type electron microscope and non-destructive inspection by an X-ray CT introduced last year as well. We are ready for consultation on a variety of processing issues. (We can also visit your site for your convenience.) Micro fabrication and complex processing system and processing examples Appearance of non-destructive inspection X-ray CT system and imaging examples Technical field key words Electric processing / Laser processing / Precision processing & precision measuring Forging & pressing form processing / Plastic form processing / Metal layer forming This device is equipped with functions of micro electric discharge machining, grinding, and micro tool forming, which enables processing of ultra-fine (less than several m) holes and grooves.

8 By use of this device, it is possible to obtain high-quality and high-resolution sectional pictures with a non-destructive method. (The inner structure of a capacitor can be seen clearly.) Let s Try with TRI ! Introduction of specialized sections (2) Metallic Materials Section This section provides technical support in all fields of manufacturing by use of metallic materials, from raw material forming, manufacturing and processing, and treatment technology, as well as evaluation, including melting, casting, special jointing, heat treatment to machine elements (screws) technology, product strength evaluation, and tribology-related technology. Our technical support extends from tests and analysis to material development through processing and heat treatment as well as evaluation technology, while at the same time conducting technical research and development for such new manufacturing technology.

9 Last year, we introduced a constant-temperature and constant-humidity booth and a field-emission transmission electron type electronic probe micro analyzer, which enabled us to offer open facilities and equipment and accept requested tests as well. We are now ready to serve you. Friction and wearing test machine with constant-temperature and constant-humidity booth Field-emission transmission electron type electronic probe micro analyzer Technical field key words Melting & casting / Heat treatment / Tribology Frictional agitation bonding / Product & material strength evaluation / Screw joint Thanks to the constant-temperature and constant-humidity booth, the test environmental condition becomes constant, which enables reliable evaluation of friction and wearing characteristics. This device is an element analyzer utilizing an electron beam, which is particularly effective for analyzing a tiny fragment or a small local part of a material.

10 Let s Try with TRI ! Introduction of specialized sections (3) Metal Finishing and Analysis Section This section is in a technical field of metal analysis, surface improvement, plating, corrosion prevention, and new energy, and involves composition analysis and measurement of structure and hardness of metallic materials, chemical analysis and local part analysis of surfaces, and corrosion testing and electro-chemical evaluation of metallic products and surface-treated products. In addition, we conduct research and development, such as development of rigid dry coating film and wet plating film, practical application of plasma surface treatment, development of thermal spray film, development of electrodes through electrolytic treatment, and research for sophistication of metal analysis, and we support manufacturing activities through supply of new surface treatment technology, support for process upgrading, supply of highly precise analysis data, and so on.
