Field of KITAGAWA

Kitagawa Seiki’s Strengths

Kitagawa Seiki manufactures various industrial machines including press machines for manufacturing printed circuit boards essential to electronic devices.

Kitagawa Seiki is an industrial machine manufacturer that develops and manufactures machinery equipment used for production of various products including “press machines” used for manufacturing of printed circuit boards necessary for control of electronic devices such as smartphones, personal computers, televisions, automobiles and aircraft, etc.

Kitagawa Seiki also develops and manufactures not only production equipment that is directly related to manufacturing of products but also equipment and machinery “FA systems” that contribute to automation and labor-saving in industries.
The core technology is control of “temperature, pressure, vacuum and operation.”

Multi-opening vacuum press machines which are Kitagawa Seiki’s main products provide both high quality and productivity in heating and press-laminating of sheet materials by control of temperature, pressure, vacuum and operation, and by use of a uniquely designed press frame and heating plate structure.

Electronic devices are becoming more precise year by year and necessary printed circuit board materials require a high degree of precision. Our products meet the high demands of production sites and play an active role in factories around the world.
Developing and manufacturing products ideal for applications and materials with high response capabilities.

Performance required for industrial machines such as production facilities differs greatly depending on its application, manufactured products, materials and manufacturers. Kitagawa Seiki consistently creates individually customized equipment that customers demand through high response capabilities through “Wisdom” based on accumulated experience and efforts at “Creation” toward new attempts.

Activities of Kitagawa Seiki’s products are best illustrated in the two aspects of “living aspect” mainly for daily life products and “industrial aspect” explaining in what scene in industries our products are used.

Living aspect (each product)

①Printed circuit boards and board materials (copper-clad laminate)

World’s top-class market share

Kitagawa Seiki press machines play an active role in manufacturing printed circuit boards essential to circuits of electronic components. In particular, our press machines for laminating and laminating copper-clad laminates which are materials for printed circuit boards own the world’s top-class market share.

Applications
Printed circuit boards, board materials (copper-clad laminate)

② Automobile components

Kitagawa Seiki machines are also used in manufacturing automobile components.
We also offer an integrated production line system that includes not only press equipment but also equipment for pre-process and post-process.

Applications
Interior materials, heat insulation sheets, on-board solar panels, power modules

③Aircraft structure member materials

CFRP is carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and is a new material that has attracted the attention of the aviation industry because it is lightweight but high in strength. Energy-savings are required in the aviation industry in response to carbon-neutral needs. Kitagawa Seiki machines play an active role at these sites as well.

Applications
CFRP honeycomb sandwich panels

④Building and housing materials

Kitagawa Seiki machines also play an active role in fields related to construction and housing.

Applications
Exterior materials (siding board), interior materials (gypsum board, decorative sheet), bathtubs, sinks, septic tanks

⑤Other commodities and industrial materials, etc.

Kitagawa Seiki machines work to manufacture (form) other various products you use in your daily life.

Applications
IC cards, touch panels, whetstone/slate/heat insulation material/insulating materials, sensors, heaters (resin laminate), aluminum sash doors, solar panels, resins, rubber, ceramic materials

Industrial aspect

①Factories that manufacture printed circuit boards and board materials

Printed circuit boards are the basis for making electronic circuits by mounting many electronic components. In manufacturing this printed circuit board, Kitagawa Seiki’s vacuum press machines play an active role in the laminating process for laminating copper foil and the insulating layer used as the materials. Kitagawa’s press machines which can laminate and form materials with high precision are also highly evaluated by overseas manufacturers.

Machinery
Multi-opening vacuum press machine

② Company’s research center, public testing and research institute

Kitagawa Seiki also manufactures small devices ideal for research and development such as laminating prototypes for electronic components and  materials, and heating and press-laminating and testing for other various materials. They are widely used in the company’s research center, public research institutes, etc.

Machinery
Test presses, test laminators

③Factories that manufacture resin products

Resin materials are applied to all kinds of products. Kitagawa Seiki manufactures hot forming press machines and mold clamping machines that are responsible for laminating in this field.

Machinery
Hot forming presses, mold clamping machines

④Factories that manufacture solar panels

Solar panels consist of multiple materials such as protective films, cells and glass plates, etc., and Kitagawa Seiki’s laminators are used in attaching these materials.

Machinery
Laminators

⑤ Factories that process metals such as sheet metal

Kitagawa Seiki manufactures automated warehouses, stockers and pallet changers, etc., used for storage and conveyance of materials in factories that process sheet metal and metals. These machines contribute to not only labor-saving and space-saving but also enhancement of safety.

Machinery
Automated warehouses, solid stockers, pallet changers (for laser processing machine)

⑥Other factories, airports, seaports, ships

Kitagawa Seiki manufactures FA related equipment used in factories, airports, seaports and ships where large equipment operates. These also contribute to labor-saving and enhancement of safety.

Machinery
Floor lifts, vertical conveying machines (tower conveyor), self-propelled maintenance carriers
