Kannari Factory

The diverse variety of machinery can handle coatings of all types of thin films handled at Geomatec

At the source of a river that travels down the Ou mountains, Kannari is a rural landscape within Miyagi Prefecture that unfolds with lush greenery and is the hometown of the employees who founded Geomatec’s facilities there in 1975.

The Kannari Factory has supported Geomatec’s development for several years, possessing several pieces of coating equipment, new and old. Along with the rich knowledge of our technicians, the machinery enables a wide range of thin-film manufacturing processes, from prototype to mass production.

Features

  • All varieties of thin-film processing can be handled at Geomatec
  • With its diverse range of manufacturing equipment, the plant covers all steps from prototype to mass production
  • Possessing special equipment found in only a few places in the world, such as inner-cylinder film coating equipment, this factory can process thin films of various sizes and shapes

Ako Factory
Japan

Ako Factory

Handling of large substrates & films
The latest know how in the manufacture of thin films, at your fingertips

Located in the mountains near the shores of the Seto Inland Sea and surrounded by lush natural scenery, Ako is situated on a strong foundation resistant to earthquakes and rich with the ample water needed for cleaning work. It has also been selected as the location for Geomatec’s newest cutting edge factory.

The Ako Factory was designed with mass production and includes robots arms capable of repeatedly receiving and passing large glass plates, as well as roll to roll machines capable of handling massive film rolls 1,300 mm in width and over 20 m in depth. Rounding out the facilities are batch-type machines totaling phi 3,000. All in all, there are several options for the mass production of thin films.

Features

  • Equipped with high precision robot arms utilized for automated manufacturing, this factory includes our largest line of machines for inline sputtering, a method with high production efficiency for not only single orders, but also mass production
  • The factory possesses three roll to roll sputtering units, two of which can be used with areas as wide as 1,300 mm
