TIMELAB Co., Ltd., a Japanese beauty-appliance OEM/ODM provider, has developed a hair straightener for OEM/ODM customization for international hair care brands and professional markets. In testing at 230 V with a 260°C setting, all three measured plate locations reached at least 200°C after 15 seconds.

Three-Point Plate Testing

A European-market development unit with a maximum setting of 260°C was tested at 230 V. Fifteen seconds after power-on, readings at the front, center and rear were 212.5°C, 227.5°C and 200.0°C, respectively. From around 60 seconds onward, temperature differences among the three points narrowed, indicating a stable trend.

Precision Temperature Control

An NTC sensor inside the metal ceramic heater (MCH) detects temperature. A microcontroller (MCU) reads the signal and adjusts heater output. Upper and lower MCH heaters are controlled independently, supporting stable temperatures after rapid heat-up.

Five Protection Functions

The development unit incorporates:

  1. A 6.3 A fuse for short-circuit or overcurrent protection
  2. Automatic power shutoff above 270 V AC
  3. Automatic power shutoff below 85 V AC
  4. First-stage overheat protection if plate temperature exceeds 280°C
  5. Second-stage overheat protection through a 300°C thermal protection switch

OEM/ODM Customization

TIMELAB customizes design, plate shape, materials, surface treatment, temperature settings, voltage and plugs. It welcomes inquiries from international brands, manufacturers and distributors.

Note: Temperature data are factory reference values from a development unit tested at 230 V. Results may vary depending on operating conditions, supply voltage, measurement method and individual unit variation. The 260°C maximum applies to the European-market specification. Final specifications, inspection criteria, standards and certifications will be determined in accordance with destination-market regulations and agreed requirements.

Cities Integrating AI Into Public Services With No Common Framework for Assessing Readiness, Oxford Insights Finds6.10.2026 04:00:00 CEST | Press Release

Cities are integrating artificial intelligence into public services and operations with no shared framework for measuring or comparing how prepared they are to do so safely, effectively or accountably. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261005281462/en/ Cover of Oxford Insights' latest report on City AI Readiness. (Graphic: AETOSWire) Existing global indices compare countries on legislation, investment and research output, but the AI efforts happening at city level – the level of government where the technology most directly shapes daily life – are not systematically captured. To start closing that gap, Oxford Insights researchers studied AI readiness across six cities. They found that all share the same core priorities, from governance and funding to talent and infrastructure, but take distinct routes to AI readiness, shaped both by structural conditions and by deliberate strategic choices. The findings draw on
