Factory reference test on a development unit at 230 V with a 260°C setting. The 180°C value is the heat-up threshold, not the selected setting. Results apply to the three measured locations and do not establish uniform temperature across the entire plate or the performance of every product. Final settings and specifications are agreed for each product and destination market.
02 / TEMPERATURE CONTROL
MCH, NTC and MCU control.
An NTC sensor is positioned inside the metal ceramic heater (MCH). The MCU reads the sensor signal and adjusts heater output. The upper and lower heaters are controlled independently in the published development configuration.
03 / SAFETY DESIGN
Electrical and thermal protection.
- Overcurrent protection: 6.3 A fuse.
- Input overvoltage: shutoff above 270 V AC.
- Input undervoltage: shutoff below 85 V AC.
- First-stage overheat: shutoff above 280°C.
- Second-stage overheat: 300°C thermal protection switch.
These are factory reference values for the development configuration, not a statement of certification. Results vary with voltage, operating conditions, measurement method and individual units. The 260°C setting relates to the European-market development specification. Final specifications, inspection criteria and applicable certification requirements are determined for each project and destination market.

06 / DEVELOPMENT TEAM
Japan-based development.
Partner-factory manufacturing.
TIMELAB handles product planning, design, development and OEM/ODM project management from Japan. Manufacturing is carried out by partner factories selected for the product and project requirements. Assembly at a factory in Japan can also be discussed, depending on the product and required processes.
Based in Yokohama, Japan, TIMELAB coordinates development and quality management. Product sketches, 3D design and mock-ups help turn your brief into something you can evaluate and refine.
Inspection and quality management form part of production coordination. Confidentiality arrangements are available for development projects.
07 / OEM・ODM PROCESS
A clear path forward.
Share your idea and target market. We review specifications, quotation, schedule and responsibilities, then develop the design and evaluate prototypes. Partner factories carry out manufacturing, with quality management and delivery coordinated for the project. Product support is also discussed.
01 Share your idea02 Define the project03 Design & refine04 Produce & deliver
OEM projects using existing tooling can take approximately three months at the earliest. ODM projects involving a new design and tooling can take approximately six months at the earliest. Timing depends on specifications, prototype revisions, quantity and transport conditions; the starting point and delivery schedule are confirmed for each project.
The usual minimum order quantity is 3,000 units. Smaller quantities can be discussed for OEM products, depending on the product and specifications.
08 / QUESTIONS
Good questions.
A useful starting point.
Does TIMELAB own the manufacturing factory?
TIMELAB handles planning, design, development and OEM/ODM project management. Manufacturing is carried out by partner factories.
What does the 15-second test result show?
In the published factory reference test, the development unit was tested at 230 V with a 260°C setting. At 15 seconds after power-on, the front, center and rear readings were 212.5°C, 227.5°C and 200.0°C, respectively. These are readings at three measured locations, not proof of uniform temperature across the entire plate.
Is the 260°C setting available for every product and market?
The published 260°C setting relates to the European-market development specification. Final temperature settings and other requirements are determined for each product and destination market.
What information should an international customer provide?
Please share your product category, target market, key features, estimated quantity and planned launch date. A complete specification is not required for an initial inquiry.
How are temperature sensing and control arranged in the development unit?
The published configuration uses an NTC sensor inside the MCH and MCU-based heater control, with independent control of the upper and lower heaters. Final configurations are agreed for each project.
Do you work with international companies?
Yes. International brands, manufacturers and distributors are welcome to discuss OEM/ODM projects. We respond by email in English.
Where are products manufactured?
Manufacturing is carried out by partner factories selected for the project. The existing production network includes China, and assembly at a factory in Japan can also be discussed for suitable projects.
Can you handle confidential development projects?
Confidentiality arrangements are available for development projects. Please discuss your requirements with us.
Can you support a project from the concept stage?
Yes. Share your intended product, market and commercial requirements so we can discuss the design and development scope.
Do you offer both OEM and ODM?
We discuss projects based on existing specifications as well as projects involving design and development. Responsibilities are agreed for each project.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The usual minimum order quantity is 3,000 units. Smaller quantities can be discussed for OEM products, depending on the product and specifications.
How long does development and production take?
OEM projects using existing tooling can take approximately three months at the earliest. ODM projects involving a new design and tooling can take approximately six months at the earliest. Timing depends on specifications, prototype revisions, quantity and transport conditions; the starting point and delivery schedule are confirmed for each project.
