A “sealed” coating system that reduces solvent vaporization between the supply system and coating head is an essential criterion for consistently delivering high-quality coating. HIRANO TECSEED offers multiple “Die Coating Methods” adjusted to various coating film thicknesses, resin properties, and substrate characteristics to do just this. Of these, the “DV Coater” is especially suited to ultra-thin-film coating.
With shear coating methods, typified by lip coating, the “coating gap” formed between the die lip and the backup roller plays an important role in film forming. With recent ultra-thin-film coatings of less than 10 μm (wet), the influence of machine precision can have a significant negative impact on film thickness profiles in shear coating methods, even if the roller runout is only 1 μm. With the DV Coater, which allows for coating using a coating gap that is more than 10 times the wet coating thickness, it is possible to achieve high-precision coating that exceeds the machine precision. Moreover, This coating method can handle a high range of coating thicknesses and viscosities, as well as resin coating where high-shear is a problem in units that come in contact with the coating fluid.

Characteristics:
(1) Coating Range: able to coat a wide range of coating from 3 to 200 μm (wet)
(2) Coating Gap (between slot die and substrate): because the coating system coats with a gap that is several times to several tens of times the coating thickness (wet), coating is not subject to disturbance on the coating surface from substrate thickness variation, contaminants, and dust, etc.
(3) Viscosity Range: able to handle a range of 1 to 10,000 MPa•s
(4) Coating Speed: Able to coat at speeds ranging from low speed to high speed

Specifications/Applications:
Roll Width: Max. width 2,500 mm
Machine Speed: Max. speed 200 m/min
Optical functional films, photosensitive films, masking films, adhesive coating, electronic materials

Since its development, we have sold more than 500 our lip coaters, which have been well received on the global market. In lip coating, the resin weight calculated based on the numerically input coating conditions is fed to the lip head. These conditions are controlled by the lip coater specialized L301 controller, which can be used to remotely adjust the lip head coating gap using a key control. The lip head has a mechanism that allows the lip to be bent on the left and right sides, as well as the middle, which allows for free width direction resin profile control.
An optional unit allows for a thickness meter to be linked to the L301 controller to feed back the actual coating thickness. This function and numerical control allow for automated operation of the coater line.
By using the lip coater in applications that require a high level of skill, it is possible to easily realize high-precision coating by simply mastering the key operation.

Applications:
Adhesives for optical films (OCA, etc.), light shielding films, PSA films, labels, ceramic green sheets, special films, electronic materials (FCCL, etc.), automobile components, medical items, adhesive coating

Specifications:
Roll Width: Max. width 2,500 mm

Our air suction mat is a high-performance, energy saving entryway mat that can be used simply by placing it at a building entrance or passageway to remove particles attached to the soles of shoes or vehicle tires via a spring brush and air suction.

High-performance
This new-concept shoe sole cleaner uses the elasticity of a spring brush to scrub off particles (dirt, dust) from shoe soles and instantly suctions the particles up using a strong vacuum.
Energy Saving/High Efficiency
The mat only switches on when a person or vehicle passes over. Moreover, only the part of the mat that is contacted by the shoe sole or tire operates to remove particles via suction to reduce waste and energy.
Simple Maintenance
The particles are collected in an easily removable dust collection unit. No other maintenance is required.
Safety Allocation
The mat is thin, at only 30 mm (sloped on either end). The vertical movement of the brushes is minimal, so can be walked over safely by small children and high heels.

The GLS-2060 inline non-contact gloss meter measures the surface gloss of continuously produced printed products, plastic films, stone material, tile, and coatings, for example, in realtime without contacting the subject while displaying time series data. The gloss meter allows for rapid observation of the production line condition. Further, all of the measured data collected by the gloss meter are saved, so detailed evaluations can be made at a later time.

-Newly Developed Camera Head
This camera head suited to inline installation uses an ultra-high intensity LED light source.
-Stable Gloss Measurement
A proprietary measurement algorithm allows the gloss meter to make stable gloss measurements
-Simultaneous Display of Gloss Value and Time Series Data
Digitally displays realtime gloss values and a time series graph on a monitor.
-Interval Control of Gloss Value Acquisition and Saving
*Timing control for the specialized controller allows for fixed intermittent data and total data to be saved.
*The specialized controller can acquire gloss data from fixed intervals synchronized with the encoder pulse (option).
-Gloss Value Correction
The gloss value correction function allows the operator to set a correction value for each measuring environment.
-Two camera heads can be connected
-A still image system can also be connected using one PC/controller (option).
-Low-cost
The industry’s first inline non-contact measurement method allows the gloss meter to achieve excellent cost performance.

Measurement Principle:
An ultra-bright LED light source is used to project light at an angle of 60º, which is reflected and captured by the CCD camera set at a incident light angle of 60º. The amount of captured light, the gloss level, is then calculate by a proprietary RGB brightness histogram method. The size of the received light measurement image can be set by the user via software control.

When the measured gloss value falls within the reference tolerance, it is displayed as “green,” and when it falls outside this range, it is displayed as “red.” This approach simplifies abnormality management during processing. Further, all of the data acquired by the gloss meter can be saved.

When outside the reference tolerance range, along with displaying the value in red, the system can send an output signal that can be used to activate a buzzer or warning light.
