HIT Devices - Erase Head for Rewritable Printer

2002	Investigation for the characteristics of various thermal rewritable recording media and development of heating head suitable for erasing. Joint study was conducted with Afit Corporation for the rewritable printer and the results were co-presented at IMI Thermal Conference
2003	Developed and started marketing erase head with unique structure with multiple resistive elements to improve the thermal efficiently increase
2004	Development of sub-heater structure and and erasing control method using the erase heads with the unique structure. The paper was presented at IMI Thermal Conference
2005	Developed and marketed the A5-size wider-format erase head with low temperature variation which was achieved by employing various new methods for uniformity improvement. The paper was presented at IMI Thermal Conference
2006	Made the erase head smaller & more efficient and also developed A4-size head. The paper was presented at European IJTP Conference, IMI Thermal Conference and IS&T NIP22 Conference.
2007	Developed a high-speed 8-inch wide erase head and the result was presented at IS&T NIP23 Conference
2008	Erase head for RFID Kanban card was presented at IMI Thermal Conference. Paper was presented on erase head for Kanban card at IS&T NIP24 Conference

This is the seventh year since HIT Devices Ltd. was founded at Kyoto Research Park.
During this time, rewritable media has grown into variety of applications including IC tags, RFID and non-contact IC cards. In order to answer the requests for the new usages, we have developed the erase heads for A4-size (210 mm / 8 inches) applications requests from the market by utilizing our long experience in the industry, new materials and new technology. The products are well received.
