Title: Hiromitsu Onodera and the Workpiece Attraction Device

Introduction

Hiromitsu Onodera is an inventor based in Kawasaki, Japan, and is associated with Creative Technology Corporation. His patent work includes a device designed to attract and release thin workpieces reliably.

Latest Patents

Onodera is named on 1 patent, titled “Workpiece Attraction Device.” The invention uses an electrostatic attraction body to hold a workpiece against an attraction surface when voltage is applied to an electrode. A separation body sits between the workpiece and the electrostatic attraction body, helping release the workpiece after the voltage is stopped.

The separation body has evenly distributed openings divided by a lattice. The electrode is positioned so that it does not face the lattice when viewed from the workpiece side. This arrangement is intended to help dechuck thin materials, such as paper, cloth, and resin films, quickly and reliably.

Career Highlights

Onodera’s documented patent contribution addresses a practical challenge in handling thin materials: releasing them from an electrostatic holding surface without delay or unreliable separation. His work is associated with Creative Technology Corporation.
