Automotive headlamps in general have a challenge of long molding cycle due to the thickness. We launched a development project in 2003, and achieved high cycle molding taking full advantages of our technologies in freeform correction and precision multi-cavity molding.

• Short-term development achieved by analysis of design deviation influence on photometry using independently-developed photometry simulator.
• High-quality and high-precision molds developed with our ultra-precision lens insert processing technology and artisan skill of polishing.
• High performance in multi-cavity realized with our unique molds and technical know-how acquired with over 30 years of experience in lens manufacturing.
• High cycle molding of thick lenses accomplished with stable molding, free form evaluation and correction technologies.

LED has been increasingly adopted as a light source in many automotive headlamps and tail lamps for their advantages such as designability and visibility with the DRL (Daytime Running Light) function.
This light guide has fine optical patterns on a pipe surface which produces surface-emitting by a single light source. We made the first mold in the country that achieved mass-production adopting the precision fine processing technology to satisfy following demands;

• Surface roughness by machining less than Ra100nm*. No variation in the entire pipe. (* 100nm=0.0001mm)
• Keep minimum radius for fine optical patterns to increase luminous efficiency.
