  • Patent number: 11413705
    Abstract: A resin pipe 30 and a resin member 31 are fixed to a setting portion 5 provided on the front side of a base 6, and a timing pulley 13 which is provided on the back side of the base 6 and to which a light emission unit 3 is attached is rotated. As a result, the light emission unit 3 applies laser light 20 to a junction 32 between the resin pipe 30 and the resin member 31 while revolving around the junction 32. This makes it easy to fuse and join the entire outer circumferential surface of the resin pipe 30 with the entire inner circumferential surface of the resin member 31, which are variously shaped and sized.

  • Patent number: 8323074
    Abstract: A brake disk braking surface processing device 1 includes a rotation driving device 11 that rotates a brake disk 2, a processing section 12 that processes braking surfaces 4 and 5 of the brake disk 2, and pressing rollers 13 and 14 that press the braking surfaces 4 and 5 of the brake disk 2. The brake disk braking surface processing device 1 includes the pressing rollers 13 and 14 that press the braking surfaces 4 and 5 of the brake disk 2. Therefore, even when tools are pressed against the braking surfaces 4 and 5 in a direction perpendicular to the braking surfaces 4 and 5, deformation of the braking surfaces 4 and 5 of the brake disk 2 can be suppressed with certainty. As a result, processing accuracy of the braking surfaces 4 and 5 of the brake disk 2 can be enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7655328
    Abstract: An electrically conductive, plasma-resistant member adapted for exposure to a halogen-based gas plasma atmosphere includes a substrate having formed on at least part of a region thereof to be exposed to the plasma a thermal spray coating composed of yttrium metal or yttrium metal in admixture with yttrium oxide and/or yttrium fluoride so as to confer electrical conductivity. Because the member is conductive and has an improved erosion resistance to halogen-based corrosive gases or plasmas thereof, particle contamination due to plasma etching when used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment or flat panel display manufacturing equipment can be suppressed.
