Copper plating characteristics
Our copper plating characteristics
・Proton Accelerator needs electrical large power. Our copper plating with high purity copper degree is superior on the ability to conduct electricity than others.
・Save energy and reduce radioactive contaminated water.
・Reach the targetted vacuum level soon.
Accelerators are used for the study of investigating origin of the universe etc. Conventional accelerators had adopted copper plating which contains organic substances that create extra gas under vacuumed air condition. It caused problem that it takes long time to draw a vacuum and so on.Therefore, our copper plating technology was took up to solve them. We devised anoxia copper plating which is free of brightener chemical. Then, we have been performing copper plating to evironmentally friendly proton accelerators.

Thermoplastic Composites (PEKK)
In response to the growing demand for lightweight, non-metallic materials in aviation, AK is pioneering the research and prototype manufacturing of advanced thermoplastic composites. Using a revolutionary new manufacturing process, we have achieved significantly faster production times and enhanced material properties compared to conventional methods.
Jointly developed with Takagi Seiko Co., Ltd., and supported by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization)
Key Advantages of AK’s PEKK Composites
•Superior Durability: Enhanced resistance to heat, fire, and chemicals.
•Safety First: Non-toxic and flame-retardant properties.
•Ultimate Lightweighting: At half the weight of aluminum, our material significantly improves aircraft fuel efficiency.
•Production Efficiency: Reduced manufacturing time by 50% (from 6 minutes down to 3 minutes).
•Cost Optimization: Lower overall production costs through process innovation.
Applications:
• Aircraft Interiors, Secondary Structures, and Primary Structural Components.
