100 holes of Φ0.1 mm
From the president’s post
Happy Friday, everyone! Thank you for all your hard work this week. The heat continues, so please take care of yourselves and stay healthy!
We’re thrilled to share some great news: we finally got a microscope with measurement capabilities! Now, we can measure microfabrications in-house. 😆
Take a look at the results:
- On the left, SUS304 material with a φ40μm hole and an aspect ratio of 1.25. It’s being measured perfectly! 👍
- On the right, SUS304 again, featuring 100 φ0.1mm holes with an aspect ratio of 20, all made with drills. 😅
Recently, we’ve been receiving more requests for ultra-fine inner diameter (hole) machining, but with this new equipment, we can handle them with confidence. 🤗 We can even measure square holes now. 🙌
Here’s a little story from a professor we spoke with recently: Many skilled small factories that once had incredible technical expertise are disappearing. Even those still around face aging issues, with uncertain futures. The lack of skill transfer seems to be a big problem. Craftsmen in their 70s aren’t passing their expertise to those in their 50s, who are in turn unable to train the younger generation. That sheer determination to tackle the toughest challenges is at risk of being lost—it’s devastating. 🤣
But, researchers, don’t worry. At our company, the skills honed 50 years ago have been passed down to our 50-somethings, who are working with our 30-somethings to refine them further. We’re here to stay for another 20–30 years, ready to help you open new doors in technology.
Let’s bring back a stronger Japan together. 🤗
