〇 Introduction of Use Cases We have introduced our proposed automation system in the customer's PR video. We have received consent for its publication on this site, so please view it via the video link. Our automation system: 13-23 seconds, 38-49 seconds *Only the input and output of materials using a dual-arm robot transport system. Elephantech Inc. https://www.elephantech.co.jp/ Elephantech "Elephantech - A startup leading the world in FPC printing" With the mission of "creating a sustainable world through the power of new manufacturing," we manufacture and sell FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) using environmentally friendly unique methods with inkjet printing and copper plating.
basic information
We provide FA systems suitable for your industry and business type, including collaborative robots, industrial robot system integration, and peripheral devices, starting from just one unit. 〇 Introduction of Elephantech Inc. The company is a Japanese startup established in 2014. It manufactures flexible printed circuits (FPC) using its proprietary metal inkjet printing technology. This technology is more environmentally friendly than traditional FPC manufacturing methods, allowing for the production of high-quality FPC at a lower cost. The company's FPCs are used in various applications, including wearable devices, IoT devices, and automobiles. In 2022, it received the Special Award "Mizuho Award" in the Forbes JAPAN Entrepreneur Ranking. In 2023, the company's technology won the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award at the "CEATEC AWARD 2023."

Applications/Examples of results
【Case Studies】 〇 Pressure Testing of Ceramic Substrates By introducing robots into the inspection process of substrates that were previously conducted manually, we achieved 24-hour automation of work transport, setup, inspection, and discharge. Additionally, by linking the inspection equipment with the system, we enabled an increase in productivity. 〇 FPC Transport to AOI We automated the simple task of feeding FPC into the automatic inspection equipment, from input to output. Without using vision cameras, we corrected the misalignment of the workpieces through automatic alignment using sensors.

Experience Taiyo Technorex's FPC at Flex's social study tour, Nepcon Japan 2025!
◎FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit Board): Under the theme of "Discovering Applications for FPC," you can experience the characteristics of FPC in four zones: lightweight, flexible, fine, and special. 1. Comparison of weight between rigid boards and FPC 2. FPC that you can actually touch and bend 3. Reduction of board area due to high-density wiring 4. FPC with special features such as transparent, high-frequency, and pressure-resistant types Additionally, we are also showcasing next-generation circuit technologies such as stack vias and via fills. It's not just about FPC! We have live demonstrations of 'FA Automation' and the latest appearance inspection system using AI technology! ◎FA Automation: By achieving teaching-less automation through visual feedback control, we eliminate the burden of calibration and realize high-precision, high-speed operation. We have prepared a demonstration for the transport of rigid boards. ◎The latest final appearance inspection system, the AI system 'TY-VISION XAIS,' is now in Chapter 2! In addition to improving efficiency by reducing false positives in the final appearance inspection process, it also supports defect detection using AI. It is effective for defects with minimal brightness differences that are difficult to detect with inspection devices, even though they can be identified visually.

Taiyo TechnoRex Co., Ltd. continues to operate in the fields of prototype development of flexible printed circuit boards (FPC) and printed circuit board testing systems. Since FPC is fundamentally related to the structure of hardware, both high precision quality and shortened development time are required. We have extensive experience and know-how in the manufacturing processes of single-sided FPC, double-sided FPC, multilayer FPC, and their advanced types, and we continuously improve and enhance our technology, resulting in consistent evaluations of our delivery times and quality. Additionally, while technically advancing further miniaturization and high density, we are also undertaking new initiatives such as bump-type and special material electroplating. On the other hand, our printed circuit board testing systems mainly consist of electrical inspection systems and final appearance inspection systems, which are adopted in the mass production sites of FPCs and package/module-type substrates. They operate day and night in quality control settings for substrates used in smartphones, automotive applications, and various electronic devices. We will continue to respond to the increasingly diverse market needs. *On December 21, 2023, the company name was changed from "Taiyo Kogyo Co., Ltd." to "Taiyo TechnoRex Co., Ltd."*
