We would like to introduce ALTIM®, a joining technology that enables metals and plastics to be directly and seamlessly joined without the use of any intermediary materials.
ALTIM® is an innovative technology that combines our proprietary laser technology with thermal compression joining technology to directly join metal and plastic materials.
The process eliminates the need for adhesives, screws, bolts, and rivets while achieving highly airtight and high-strength joining performance.
It contributes to weight reduction, cost savings, and shorter lead times.
In addition, because the process generates zero VOCs, it also helps reduce environmental impact.
We will showcase a wide variety of joining samples and propose solutions tailored to your applications.
[Exhibited Sample Applications]
- Lightweight metal-plastic structure: Water-cooled heat sink
- Surface joining of metal and plastic plates: Composite material with narrow-pitch terminal hole processing
- Direct joining of insulators and terminals: Sealing plate for lithium-ion batteries
- Vibration-resistant and high-strength direct joining: Busbar terminal block

Direct joining can be used as a replacement for the conventional caulking method employed in the sealing section of cylindrical lithium-ion battery electrodes (the joining area between the metal and insulating resin, i.e., the sealing plate).
In this process, an aluminum flange, an insulating resin spacer, and an aluminum lid plate are joined together in a sandwich structure.
Compared with conventional manufacturing methods, this technology enables the production of sealing components with superior airtightness and durability.
The key to ALTIM® joining technology lies in its proprietary laser processing of metal surfaces.
This creates a textured surface structure that enhances both the anchor effect and wettability on the metal surface.
In addition, the thermal compression joining process is precisely controlled while continuously monitoring temperature and pressure.
This unique expertise enables the production of sealing components with outstanding strength, durability, and airtightness.

Sales point (English)
This is a proposal example of a water-cooled heat sink designed for efficient cooling and thermal management.
When combining metal and plastic materials to achieve weight reduction, sealing performance becomes a critical factor.
ALTIM® is a technology capable of supporting such water-cooled applications.
By directly joining metal and plastic materials, the process eliminates the need for adhesives.
Through our proprietary laser technology and thermal compression joining process, ALTIM® ensures excellent sealing performance.
ALTIM® can join various metals—including aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and iron—with thermoplastic resins.
Even in applications where air cooling is insufficient and water cooling is required, ALTIM® enables direct joining of metal and plastic materials without the use of adhesives.
