Glass coating manufacturer, improving productivity with stable and reliable gas flow supply and low pressure control [Application Information]
Low-emissivity (Low-E) coated architectural glass has become one of the most popular functional building materials. It plays a crucial role in improving the energy efficiency and energy-saving properties of buildings by minimizing heat loss and internal condensation. The coating (thin film) applied to the glass controls the flow of visible light energy passing through the glass. This coating alters the characteristics of light transmission, reflection, and absorption in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet. When viewed from inside the building, Low-E glass reflects energy back into the building, achieving significantly lower heat loss compared to regular glass. When viewed from outside the building, Low-E glass allows the visible portion of solar energy to pass through while minimizing the infrared portion, thereby reducing heat loss from the building.

Would you like to turn existing equipment into small IoT devices? What can be done? What is needed?
Many people may have questions like, "What can be done with IoT?" and "What is needed?" upon hearing the term IoT. Through digital communication, it is possible to obtain various information such as flow sensors, valves, circuit boards, and abnormal monitoring that were not accessible with traditional analog control. For example, by monitoring the valve opening, one can detect blockages in the equipment and identify leaks from cumulative flow. This information directly contributes to reducing downtime and improving quality through continuous long-term monitoring and knowledge-based management. Compatible models include those with digital communication via RS485, in addition to traditional analog controls like 0-5VDC and 4-20mA. (Older models such as the 58xxS, MfxxS series, SLA58xxS, and SLAMfxxS series). Even older models that do not support digital communication can be upgraded to the latest mass flow models, enabling digital communication. The dimensions between new and old models are the same, and no wiring changes are necessary. Additionally, we can provide control boxes for data collection from mass flow. This enables a "visualization" of small IoT without making large changes to the equipment.

<Application Information> Accurate and stable supply of gas and liquid for titanium nitride coating.
Titanium is frequently used in such applications to form a very hard titanium nitride (TiN) coating on the target products. Titanium coatings are often used for decorative purposes on jewelry, household appliances, and automotive trim due to their golden appearance. Similar coatings may also be used on the surfaces of medical devices and instruments as non-toxic options. This type of coating is now being applied in advanced biomedical devices, including in vivo biosensors. The coating of titanium nitride generally employs the CVD process. In this process, multiple chemicals (TiCl4, N2, H2) are supplied to a furnace and reacted at high temperatures to produce titanium nitride, which is then deposited on the surface as a coating. It is crucial for the integrity, appropriate thickness, and uniformity of the coating to accurately deliver these materials to the furnace.
