Happy New Year 2023!

With your great support, we have been able to survive and make some progress in the last year,
although it has been a difficult year.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We will continue to work together to achieve the ideals we are striving for in this new year.
We look forward to your continued support and encouragement.
 
■LINE QC SPECIALIST
Last year, FNS SOLUTIONS CO.,LTD has started full-scale operations.
not only sorting business, but also we developed LINE QC SPECIALIST & MQA.
 
First, we realized ZERO PPM by automatic sorting to avoid shipping any defective products to customers. Next, we have realized our ideal of supporting various efforts to prevent in-process defects.
We have been able to achieve this although still not enough level.
The product is still not well known, and to be honest,
it takes many times more time and effort to sell than we had expected.
However, we will continue and strengthen our sales activities this year with the belief
that our products will surely be useful for quality improvement.
 
■AOI Machine development
In the automatic sorting business, we have also launched a new standard machine,
KEYENCE TM-X5065, which was added as an option to the standard machine
in cooperation with VIZION in Taiwan.
With the previous standard machine, even with the use of 1M pixel camera,
it was only possible to sort products with dimensional tolerances of 70-80 um at high speed.
This is because the minimum size of a pixel was a few microns.
For example, to sort a product with a tolerance of only 10 um,
it is necessary to be able to accurately measure at least 1 um.
 
To achieve this, the theoretical number of pixels must be less than 1um. (preferably 0.1-0.5um)
There is no camera with less than 1um pixels in any of the cameras of Basler and other major players made in Germany.
 
As a result, the limit tolerance of products that can be sorted by cameras is 70-80um range tolerance products.This is the limit of the products that can be sorted by cameras, even with the latest CCD camera standard sorting machines.If the product to be sorted is a bolt or nut that is cold forged, headed, or headed, then the accuracy may be sufficient.However, for instance a precision metal shaft factory like Fortune Cross,
the majority of products accuracy are less than 10um.
 
In order to be able to handle both cut and polished products,the machine had to be equipped not only with a camera but also with a laser and synchronized with software to create a combined camera and laser measuring machine. We have also developed a separate system to prevent damage after sorting at the outlet,and we can provide a full set of equipment for high-speed automatic sorting of cut and polished products as well. We are now able to offer a full set of equipment that can automatically sort machined and polished products at high speed.
 
In the AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection) sorting by camera, improvement of visual inspection capability is the theme.Conventional high-speed automatic sorting machines have given up the idea of being able to perform visual inspections, and only items that can be replaced by dimensional inspections can be inspected.However, there is a great deal of demand and requests for visual inspection,
and we have begun to develop a standard machine that can meet these demands.
 
However, there has been a great deal of demand and requests for visual inspection,
and we have begun to handle UAZNC standard machines that can fulfill such requests.
 
This is because we had developed a standard machine with 7 camera specifications (3 for dimensions and 4 for appearance sorting).
 
Now we have a standard 8-camera machine with a special lens for 360° view of the inside and outside diameters.The standard 8-camera machine has evolved to see the cracks at the end of the external flange and the scratches on the inner diameter tap.This 8-camera standard machine has already been deployed at NANO SORTING HOUSE, so please come and see it. We look forward to seeing you at the show.
 
UAZNC is currently strengthening the development of AI software,which has great potential to make it possible to judge things that could not be judged before. We at NANO SEIMITSU, together with UAZNC, will actively support AI software testing and development.
 
■O-Ring sorting service
At the end of last year, we installed an automatic sorting machine for O-ring,which is used in large quantities for rubber products, in our sorting house. This month, we will start offering automatic sorting services. Only bolts and nuts => Cutting and polishing metal products can also be sorted out => Automatic sorting of rubber and plastic products. We will expand the range of products we can handle so that more and more people and markets can use our service.
 
■Automatic Visual Sorting machines
We are currently specializing in visual inspection, and in addition to DECSYS,a leading company in this field, we are starting a new initiative with the AI camera division of Toshiba Corporation. We are now working on a new project with Toshiba's AI camera department in addition to DECSYS, a leading company in this field. We are working with Toshiba Corporation and an Indian automatic machine manufacturer to develop a standard machine that can inspect the front, back, four sides, and a total of six sides of large parts like brake pad, which is not possible with our current standard machine. We are preparing standard machines in S, M and L sizes so that they can be used for a wide range of applications. We are preparing to exhibit at this year's “SUBCON2023” exhibition.
 
■Fastener & Press Parts sales
We are also strengthening procurement of new fastener parts, utilizing sorting houses if necessary, and shipping them to customers after quality assurance. In FORTUNE CROSS, we will continue to strengthen sales, reduce costs, and improve quality.
it is essential to utilize LINE QC and strengthen the automatic sorting function.
It is no exaggeration to say that NANO is motivated to develop new products
because we can share the common suffering of a mass production factory.
Also, because of it, we are able to provide truly necessary products and services. I would like to contribute to NANO's own growth and FORTUNE CROSS's business performance by taking advantage of this strength.
 
■Strengthen collaboration with staff, teams, and partners
It is also essential to improve the level of the team members.
We will continue to grow and collaborate with new and stronger partners.
We hope to become a company that can provide more complete, cost-competitive products and services.
 
■In the end
In the last fiscal year, we were able to open a sorting house in the Rayong area in cooperation with TRIGO.
We will continue to strengthen our sales support so that the facility can be fully operational.
We will support PT RHEIMA AUTOPRESISI in Indonesia,
and we may be able to start up a new sorting house in Vietnam as well.
We may be able to launch a new sorting house in Vietnam.
In India, if one of our major customer establishes a local subsidiary in India,
we will be able to provide quality assurance support.
 
We will strengthen the development of standard machines that can provide what each customer really needs at the lowest possible price, while digging into the many potential demands.
 
We will continue our efforts to make NANO useful to many customers in the fields of automatic sorting and quality improvement.
 
We look forward to your continued support, cooperation, and requests.
