It has become possible to measure gel time while the sheets are in the form of glass fiber prepreg, carbon fiber prepreg, and so on.

Until now, it has been difficult to measure ultra-thin prepreg sheets and carbon fiber prepreg sheets, but it is now possible to measure gel time while keeping them in sheet form. Measurement of liquids and powders is also possible. - Direct measurement of sheet materials eliminates the need for powdering PCB prepreg. Direct measurement of PCB prepreg, carbon prepreg, etc. is possible. Measurement of RCC (resin-coated copper foil) is also possible. - Measurement from thin to thick materials with a single sheet. Supports from 10μm ultra-thin prepreg to thick non-woven fabrics. - Measurement of powder and liquid samples that were difficult with the stirring torque method. Broad compatibility with samples containing high-filled fillers, anaerobic samples, gel-like samples, etc. - Visualization of curing behavior through graphs. Calculates and graphs viscosity, phase difference, shear modulus, etc., from the measured stress. - Measurement of the viscoelasticity of fluids. Rheological measurement of non-Newtonian fluids such as samples that do not cure. - You can check stress, viscosity, and phase data.

Accurately measure gel time! You can easily create control charts, histograms, and Pareto charts from statistical data.

To conduct effective and accurate analysis in the manufacturing field, it is important to objectively analyze actual data rather than relying on the experience or intuition of the measurer. The gel time measurement device "Madoka" can measure gel time with high reproducibility, eliminating the need for skilled techniques. Statistical methods can be employed to improve the efficiency of quality control operations. Challenges in Gel Time Measurement ■ Skilled techniques are required for measurement → By simply selecting the registered measurement conditions, the same results can be obtained regardless of the skill level of the person measuring. ■ Standardization of measurement criteria is difficult → Automatic measurement allows for operation under the same conditions between factories and suppliers. ■ It takes time to compile the vast amount of data measured By utilizing dedicated software, management charts, Pareto charts, and histograms for the necessary resins and lots/periods can be easily created.

It is possible to measure the thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and interfacial thermal resistance of TIMs in thin films of less than 50μm in conditions close to actual products.

The measurement samples (gel-like liquids, sheets, solids) are measured between two metal test heads with known thermal conductivity (aluminum or copper) in the shape of a cylinder or rectangular prism. The temperature gradient ΔT and heat flow Q in the sample are measured, and the effective thermal resistance Rtheff is determined. By changing the thickness of the sample while applying pressure and repeating the measurements, the thermal conductivity (W/m·K), thermal resistivity (mm²·K/W), and interfacial thermal resistivity (mm²·K/W) of the sample can be calculated using the formulas and graphs below. TIMA5 is a groundbreaking device that can control the sample thickness (gap), pressure, or sample temperature for measurements.

In recent years, while the size of residential spaces has been shrinking, there has been a growing demand from architects and designers for designs that "reduce lines as much as possible." However, designing spaces to appear clean and spacious by making door heights reach the ceiling or by minimizing the visibility of frames has posed challenges that require high skill levels from carpenters and significant construction time when attempted with conventional on-site construction methods. Against this backdrop, this year's Dretas has developed doors and storage fixtures that do not reveal frames, with the concept of "creating a noise-free space with empty space." ■ Base Frame (Fixtures) The structure hides the frame within the wall, achieving a refined design without the frame being visible from either side. It features a specially designed frame and concealed hinges that allow for 180-degree opening and closing. Frame widths (132mm, 147mm, 183mm) are set to accommodate wall thickness, eliminating the need for frame processing and supporting smooth installation. ■ Outset Frame (Storage Fixtures) The structure has the frame attached to the inside of the door, allowing the door and wall to fit flatly together. It can be configured for two or three panels, seamlessly blending even large wall storage into the space as if it were "just a wall." By using additional elements like the 3mm thick "Baseboard S-type," the installation becomes even more beautiful, enhancing the noise-free space.
