Preventing particle contamination of imaging components Dustproof Rubber
Dustproof rubber, which prevents foreign matter from adhering to the image sensor of a digital still camera or video camera, is produced in a clean environment.

High-Quality Dustproof Shield Components Are Produced in a Clean Environment

When fine foreign particles adhere to the CCD or CMOS image sensor of a digital still camera or video camera, the recording quality drops. This is why dustproof rubber components (sealing rubber, shielding rubber), despite their small size, play such an important role in improving image quality by preventing the entry of foreign particles. Yamauchi uses designs based on high-quality antistatic materials and advanced analytical simulation to provide your products with optimal dustproof rubber components.

Proposal of the optimal shape by shape simulation

Yamauchi can propose the optimal shape corresponding to the needs of each product by predicting the repulsive force and the sealing of dustproof rubber using analytic technology specialized for a non-linear model.
When there is a possibility that the part will be in contact with a counterpart component.

Implementation of fully automated visual inspection system

Yamauchi implemented automated visual inspection system with 2D, 3D camera to assure the superior quality of dust proof rubber parts for single or stereo type camera used for ADAS (Advanced driver-assistance systems) and operating picking, carrying, and packaging process by robot autonomously.
