Method for predicting the temperature of workpieces heated by a heating furnace and provision of an EXCEL tool.
The process of applying varnish or adhesive to tapes and substrates and then drying them is used in various industries. When the applied material is diluted with a solvent, the drying process that evaporates the solvent is crucial for quality control. If we try to increase productivity, the drying oven becomes larger, leading to higher equipment costs. Depending on the product, this also affects the subsequent curing process. To achieve efficient drying, the thermal performance of the heating furnace is necessary. It is very important for tape substrates that the thermal performance of the heating furnace remains stable within the range of use. The thermal performance of the heating furnace referred to here means the heat transfer rate. If the heat transfer rate and the temperature distribution of the heating furnace are known, the temperature of the substrate in the furnace can be predicted. Drying depends on the temperature of the substrate. Knowing the substrate temperature allows us to predict the evaporation rate or residual solvent. I serve as a technical advisor and possess the technology for measuring the thermal performance of furnaces. Additionally, I have the technology for thermal calculation methods that predict the substrate temperature based on thermal characteristics and temperature distribution within the furnace. By modeling the drying phenomenon of the applied material, we can predict the residual solvent.

Applications/Examples of results
This thermal calculation method was utilized for the cooling of optical fibers and electrical wires. The development of the solvent for the coating material was carried out for the coating process of wire materials that use solvents. At that time, we also considered modeling the curing after drying. However, we did not reach the validation of the evaporation and curing models. After becoming independent, I conducted my own research and gathered information on modeling by investigating the evaporation and curing models. The models change depending on the coating material, and I would be very pleased if I could collaborate with the representatives of your company to develop the evaporation and curing models. I think this explanation may not be very clear, so please feel free to contact me.
Company information
The D&T Lab focuses on supporting research, development, design, and prototyping for manufacturing process design and production technology development. Particularly in the case of new businesses, it is necessary to introduce technologies that the company does not possess and to select and collaborate with partner companies. By utilizing so-called open innovation, we aim to shorten the marketing and product/service development periods, facilitate early entry into new fields and applications, and establish a unique strategy using that information and technology to actively promote the business. Once we reach that stage, operations can be managed similarly to existing businesses. Therefore, the challenge of new business ventures depends on how efficiently and effectively we design the entry phase. At that stage, it is essential to gather information and technologies that the company does not possess and to make suitable choices for the company. I have experience in the development and launch of mass production equipment and the introduction of new products into factories. From the successes and failures I encountered, I have learned how to design mass production lines and introduce new products in my own way. Additionally, I possess processing techniques for various materials such as copper products, compound semiconductors, quartz glass, and plastics. I will contribute using my knowledge of these mass production technologies and material processing techniques.
