30% cost reduction! Elimination of molded part adhesion! Thick film PEEK coating.

【Significant reduction in man-hours and lead time】No need for hand application, screw fastening, or drilling! Substantial cost reduction for equipment parts with a direct coating of over 1mm and cutting finish.

In metal stages (such as aluminum) for precision inspection equipment, "the application of PEEK resin molded products" was performed to prevent scratches on the workpieces (such as glass substrates and wafers) during transport. However, the attachment process for large stages measuring 1 to 2 meters involved significant labor and costs due to "high-precision positioning," "drilling for fixing holes," "screwing," and "micron-level precision adjustments," which posed a major challenge. ■ Elimination of Attachment Work through PEEK Coating Our thick-film PEEK coating "PEEKCOAT N" directly forms a coating of over 1mm on metal substrates and provides a solution for high-precision mechanical cutting and finishing of the surface. 【Main Benefits of Implementation】 ■ Complete Elimination of Labor Hours Manual tasks such as attaching, drilling, screwing, and positioning are no longer necessary. ■ Reduced Lead Time The assembly and adjustment processes are simplified, dramatically shortening the production period. ■ Over 30% Cost Reduction Significant cuts in material costs, processing costs, and labor costs for molded products. We propose overwhelming rationalization to equipment manufacturers struggling with manufacturing costs and labor hours due to the attachment of molded products.

Applications/Examples of results

**Main Application Uses** ■ Semiconductor and LCD Manufacturing and Inspection Equipment Laser displacement inspection device stages, glass substrate and wafer mounting tables ■ Transport and Handling Equipment Large robotic hands, end effectors, support pins ■ Precision Machining Equipment Mounting jigs and receiving components for precision work that is highly sensitive to scratches **Examples of Implementation (Laser Displacement Inspection Device Stages)** ■ Issue: PEEK molded parts were manually attached to large aluminum stages (1-2m), resulting in significant labor and costs for positioning, screwing, and leveling adjustments. ■ Countermeasure: Changed specifications to "1mm or thicker PEEK coating + precision mechanical cutting finish." Prevented distortion during firing with dedicated fixing jigs. ■ Effect: - Completely eliminated manual tasks such as attachment and drilling, significantly reducing manufacturing lead time. - Controlled material costs for molded parts and assembly labor costs, achieving a total cost reduction of over 30%!

Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd. has been a specialized manufacturer of functional coatings for contract processing, earning the trust of customers across various industries for 79 years since its founding. We leverage our processing technology to maximize the properties of fluororesins, such as non-stick, lubricity, and chemical resistance, providing high-performance coatings that directly address customer challenges, including "Thermo Pro Release" for thermal welding processes and "NonStick STC" for blades and precision molds. In recent years, in response to movements regarding regulations on fluorinated compounds (PFAS), "PEEK resin," which is gaining attention as a substitute for fluororesins, has become a focus. Nikken Coating Industry commercialized the world's first PEEK resin coating, "PEEKCOAT," in 1999. Based on the solid knowledge and know-how accumulated over more than 20 years, we are further intensifying our research and development efforts to explore the potential of next-generation PEEK coatings! We aim to be recognized as "the go-to for PEEK coatings" and will continue to lead the way. As "the best partner for functional coatings that builds trust through technology," Nikken Coating Industry will continue to contribute to the creation of high-quality, high-performance products.
