With an increase in the number of IT-related devices and high-tech devices, there is an increasing demand for mill copper materials that is indispensable to the production of electronic components, such as semiconductors year by year.
Furthermore, with the functional development of finished products, high-precision conditions are required from mill copper surfaces.
Each mill copper manufacturer is making efforts toward improvement in the quality of production processes and equipment for production quality improvement. The milling process attracts attention as a big improvement point, in particular.
Three core technologies influence the quality of the milling process. These technologies are a sharp cutter that realizes the superfine condition of surfaces, milling equipment that rotates the cutter at high speed within a tolerance of microns, and cutter-dedicated grinder that maintain the sharpness of the cutter.

In order to make the three technologies coordinate effectively to demonstrate ideal teamwork, it is important for a single manufacturer to design all the system and make it an all-in-one package. All manufacturers other than IKUTA only design and manufacture milling equipment while purchasing cutters and cutter grinder from original equipment manufacturers.
In this business style, the manufacturers may shift their responsibility for the system to the products of the other manufacturers or the price of the system can become comparatively high because the three companies may make separate quotations.
Customers can rely on IKUTA with no such worries, because IKUTA is the world's only one company that has three core technologies and provides an all-in-one package.
In order to provide customers with the maximum performance, IKUTA has been researching three technologies over many years and has accumulated a large amount of know-how. These three technologies are equipment technology that realizes superfine milling processing, cutting tool technology that realizes the overwhelming sharpness of surface cutting, and grinding technology that polishes super-hard milling cutters.
The reason the IKUTA brand has been gaining the best popularity and occupying the world's number one product share is that IKUTA has total power to provide all the three core technologies in one package.
IKUTA's total solutions with superfine technology for elongated copper surfaces respond to customers who have problems in copper elongation.
