We manufacture
special business-use printers on a production-by-order basis.
Most of the components are manufactured in our partner factories.
If a failure occurs in a product, we analyze the problem. Conventionally,
we used a metallurgical microscope to inspect and analyze a
component.
It is difficult to obtain correct focus with a metallurgical
microscope, and it makes a component with projections and depressions
appear blurred. To inspect at an angle, a subject must be tilted
manually or be mounted on a jig, which worsens workability and
could overlook the problem. Analyzing took a lot of time because
of the poor imaging and workability, and time-consuming communication
resulted in difficulty procuring components to solve problems.
In this circumstance, we were always worried about failing to
meet the delivery date of a product.
If we are ever late for a delivery date, the order is easily
cancelled and the influence on sales becomes serious.
Nevertheless, we had managed to take countermeasures by using
a metallurgical microscope for analysis. However, today's high-performance
compact products are miniature in size and have complicated
components, which makes analysis even more difficult. Concerns
are growing even more over taking excessive time for countermeasures
and lagging behind schedule.
It is easy to obtain correct focus with the VHX series series, and it
has a multi-viewer function that allows inspection at various
angles easily. These functions allow inspection of a subject
on a clear, infocus image. By reducing the time for analysis
and preventing a problem from being overlooked, an appropriate
measure can be taken at an early stage of production. |
