Labor-saving components
Adding CKD's unique point of view created CKD's labor-saving components
known as products tailored to needs of industry. CKD's theme for automation
device development and manufacturing reflects the technological ability to a
long time, perpetual consciousness of "being higher in precision, faster in
operation and lower in cost. The product lineup includes "Index Units," "Direct
Drive Motors" and "Pick and Place Units" that can effectively pick up work
pieces with the highest performance in terms of control, output, rigidity, speed
and smoothness.
Including Electro-pneumatic regulators and solenoid valves for open networks,
CKD's pneumatic control components control the air flow in driving control valves
and cylinders. CKD is developing automation systems to meet a wide range of
industrial needs, while incorporating air pressure utilizing technology to promote
the environmental protection and energy savings from a practical viewpoint.
As a pioneer of the pneumatic technology, CKD will continue the development
of the new products to exactly meet the market needs.
Pneumatic actuators
Due to its feature of easy, economical automation, CKD's drive components,
such as pneumatic cylinders and electromotive actuators, are actively used
in a wide range of industries as substitutions for human hands and feet.
While developing automation systems to meet a wide range of industrial
needs, CKD is incorporating air pressure utilizing technology to promote the
environmental protection and energy savings from a practical viewpoint.
There is an increasing strictness in the quality control of compressed air to
meet various needs, such as high flow rate, high cleanliness, low noise and
efficient energy savings. CKD is earnestly increasing and enriching the variety
of peripheral system components and cultivating new needs by making the
best of its rich achievements and knowledge related to the development and
manufacture of clean air systems. These systems include "FRL. Units" and
"Refrigerated Air Dryers, Zero Aqua G Series" with zero coefficient of ozone
disruption, and pneumatic auxiliary components.
The high-tech industries of semiconductors and liquid crystals need control
components that can be used in an ultraclean environment to provide the
highest purity and highest precision to the uses of our products. These products
range from the supply systems to exhaust systems for semiconductor related
equipment, such as "Chemicals Control Components," "Process Gas Control
Components" and "HighVacuum Control Components." We are continuously
challenging ourselves to the difficulties of "ultra high level process control."
It is the development of such units and systems that can control fluids, such
as water, air, gas, steam and oil, and the efficient utilization of these fluids that
forms the backbone of CKD's technological area. Its covering area is limitlessly
expanding, encompassing not only various valves and unit system components
but also environmental protection equipment, such as greenery water spray
systems, dust collector control systems, gas combustion systems, various
washing equipment and water treatment systems. Here, high quality and wide
variation is the concept of CKD's fluid control components.
The cross-industrial product lineup of automation machine systems
includes "lamp and bulb making machines" (inheriting CKD's founding
tradition), "automatic packaging machines" (mainly for phamaceuticals
and foods), and "secondary battery making machines" and "capacitor
making machines."
By applying the technologies developed from these products and using
an electronic eye, that measures and inspects by image processing and
recognition," on quality improvement, CKD is pursuing the materialization
of factory automation, such as unmanned processes.
