We are pleased to announce that we have developed a long-length printed wiring cable with excellent self-supporting and sliding resistance in our main business, the electronic substrate business. Wiring cables used in movable parts of residential and industrial equipment include those covered with non-woven fabric, such as steel belts and flat cables, as well as FPCs (flexible printed circuit boards) that are three-dimensionally formed into a convex shape. The former faces challenges due to sagging and drooping caused by weight, which can lead to contact with movable parts, while the latter has cost issues due to the need for specialized molds for three-dimensional shaping. The "Self-Supporting, Sliding, Long-Length Printed Wiring Cable" we have developed maintains the thinness and lightness inherent in FPCs while being able to stand independently without sagging or drooping during bending or sliding, even at longer lengths, and it does not require mold costs. Additionally, it possesses sliding resistance and flame retardancy, making it suitable for use in movable parts of residential and industrial equipment. We will continue to advance the market deployment of this developed product and expand the applications of FPCs beyond electronic circuits.

Introducing the final appearance inspection system for printed circuit boards, "TY-VISION." TY-VISION XAIS is an AI system designed for the "TY-VISION series" of final appearance inspection systems for printed circuit boards. For example, we have introduced a dual-sided automatic machine + AI system in the final appearance process of mass-produced fine-pitch rigid boards. We have also implemented a manual machine + AI system in the final appearance process of mass-produced FPC products, which require thorough quality control. As a result, the verification process for final appearance inspection has seen a reduction of 50-70% in false positives thanks to the AI system, allowing for significant labor savings. Additionally, it has become possible to address "unknown defects" that were difficult to detect with conventional final appearance inspection equipment alone. There are defects that can be detected because it is TAIYO's final appearance inspection system. "TY-VISION" responds to the diversifying inspection demands and quality control needs! *Benchmark tests are conducted regularly. Please feel free to inquire. For more details, please refer to the product information.
