Top-class industry share! Introduction of the flying probe tester.

The electronic circuit board that serves as the basis for controlling electronic devices is one of the important components used in a wide range of fields. The "Flying Probe Tester" is an inspection machine that quickly and reliably detects various defects that occur during the manufacturing of this board. Takaya Corporation developed and began selling the "Flying Probe Tester" in 1987. It is a pioneering presence in the assembly board inspection machine industry, boasting a top-class share in the market even today. 【Features of the Flying Probe Tester】 ■ Measurement system capable of detecting various component defects ■ Ultra-fast and accurate probe contact control ■ Utilizes unique vertical probes to significantly expand the inspection area ■ Equipped with an interface compatible with smart factory applications ■ Unique clamping mechanism that can accommodate special-shaped boards ■ Function test capabilities with expandability ■ AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) function included ■ +α A diverse lineup and options that can accommodate large boards If you are interested in the flying probe type in-circuit tester or are facing issues with electrical testing of assembly boards, please feel free to contact us.

We are a reliable domestic and long-established RFID reader/writer manufacturer. We are one of the few manufacturers that comprehensively handles RFID reader/writers.

Takaya is a long-established manufacturer that has been producing reliable RFID readers and writers for over a quarter of a century. We would like to introduce the features of Takaya, which consistently handles everything from the development to manufacturing and sales of RFID readers and writers. Among domestic RFID reader and writer manufacturers, Takaya is one of the few that offers a comprehensive lineup of various frequency bands (HF, UHF, LF), installation types (fixed, gate, handheld, etc.), and embedded modules. With years of experience, a wide range of product offerings, and extensive knowledge of RFID, we pride ourselves on being unmatched among domestic manufacturers. From concerns about business reform using RFID to technical consultations on equipment design and development, we propose RFID products and optimal usage tailored to our customers as a "reliable partner in RFID." For detailed information about each product, please check the official website linked.

• RFID/IC tags

It is a board inspection device capable of ultra-fast in-circuit testing at a top-class level in the industry.

We have completely revamped the platform compared to the conventional model, increasing the probe movement speed by up to 50% and dramatically improving contact position accuracy. Our new high-precision, wide-range measurement system, along with the groundbreaking 4-head 6-flying probe mechanism, significantly reduces inspection costs and enhances quality in the assembly process, regardless of substrate variety or production volume. ★You can bring your own substrates for evaluation tests at our demo rooms in Okayama headquarters and Tokyo branch★ We can conduct a series of tests including the creation of inspection programs, inspections using actual substrates, and summarizing evaluation results. If you are interested, please apply through the 'Contact Us' section below.

We are releasing the UHF version of the HF shelf antenna, which has a sales record of over 2,000 units!

This is a shelf antenna system operating in the UHF band (920MHz). It allows for the bulk reading of books and equipment located on the shelf. By placing items with RF tags on the shelf antenna, it can be utilized for location management, inventory status tracking, and recording check-out and return histories. *UHF band RFID: Frequency 920MHz, International standard ISO/IEC18000-63, compliant with GS1 EPCglobal Gen2. Features: 1. UHF band RFID compliant with ISO/IEC 18000-63 and GS1 EPCglobal Gen2. 2. Type of specific low-power radio station that does not require a license application (output below 250mW). 3. One reader/writer can control up to 8 shelf antennas. 4. Location management for each shelf is possible. 5. Suppresses the spread of radio waves around the antenna to prevent misreads. 6. Installation on metal shelves is also acceptable. 7. Middleware for constant monitoring is available (sold separately). (*Direct control from the upper system without using middleware is also possible.) 8. The middleware includes a dashboard function bundled as a sample application.

Self-sounding tag series latest work!

In addition to the conventional small self-sounding tag series, we have added groundbreaking features such as enhanced durability and battery replacement, marking the introduction of the most robust security tag in the series' history.

• Security devices

A groundbreaking product monitoring system unlike any before.

Conventional self-sounding tags respond (issue an alarm) when they receive signals from security gates installed at store entrances and exits. This Wi-dimo uses a "reverse thinking" approach, where the self-sounding tag issues an alarm when it moves away from the signal area. (When the self-sounding tag is returned to the signal area, the alarm automatically stops.) As a result, it is now possible to monitor display items that were previously secured with wires wirelessly, and to make tags that only reacted at the final exit issue alarms inside the store, allowing for smoother customer engagement.

• Security Sensor Systems

In the field of food and health food research and development, an increasing number of companies are facing the following challenges: - Difficulty in exploring new functional materials and differentiation themes, leading to a depletion of research topics. - While they are collecting information from conferences and papers, they struggle to translate this into research themes directly related to their products. - They remain limited to competing similar products and follow-up projects, failing to establish uniqueness. - Although there are seeds of ideas, they struggle to elevate them to scientific hypotheses and build the necessary foundations for internal approval. Behind this lies a "wall of execution" that cannot be overcome by traditional information gathering and research processes. In this webinar, we will introduce a new R&D approach to break through these challenges. It is a next-generation research and development scheme that combines AI-driven hypothesis generation, which has achieved results in drug discovery, with scientific hypothesis verification by a food human trial CRO. This will allow for the transformation of vague ideas into scientifically verifiable projects, simultaneously achieving the construction of persuasive foundations for upper management and differentiation development.

Fujikohsuhou Industrial Co., Ltd. will hold an online seminar titled "Tips for Setting Laser Hardening Conditions" on July 20, 2025 (Wednesday). In laser hardening, factors such as output and speed are related to the quality of hardening. We will explain how output and speed are connected to quality factors. This seminar is aimed at those who are looking to start utilizing laser hardening. 【Recommended for】 ■ Those who want to learn about methods for setting laser hardening conditions ■ Those who want to obtain technical information about laser hardening

Take the 'first step' in DX talent development in Fukuoka. We will hold a free seminar where you can learn reskilling strategies that can be applied in the field through case studies and experiences! 'I've become responsible for DX, but I don't know where to start.'
