The Nikon booth will be located in Central Hall, #17914.Looking forward to the year 2030, Nikon’s innovation and expertise in opto-electronics and precision technologies will position the brand as a premiere technology solutions company in a global society where humans and machines co-create seamlessly. At CES® 2023, we will showcase the future of the society Nikon envisions with an exhibition of the following new technologies: Riblet Processing Inspired by sharkskin, riblet processing uses laser and microfabrication technology to develop micro-surface structures on the object. This can reduce viscosity frictional loss due to the irregular flow of liquids and gases. This technology can improve the energy efficiency of various industrial equipment, and when applied to aircraft, wind turbine blades or other parts used in various industries, it can help reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. As the realization of carbon neutrality is an increasingly urgent issue, riblet processing is an environmental technology that deserves global attention. The giant mock-up of a wind turbine blade will be showcased at the venue with drones and industrial robots placed around it. Those drones are equipped with robots that perform riblet processing regardless of operating altitude. Thanks to world-class Nikon precision patterning, metrology and automation capabilities, processing can be...
