Today, December 18, we shipped in and installed a new image measuring machine!

This brilliant device not only performs image measurement but also possesses the functions of a contact-type 3D measuring machine and a height gauge.

While we don’t think a simple comparison between contact-type measuring devices and these new devices is possible, it is our understanding that, in terms of measurement accuracy and reliability, the former remains the better option.

However, in terms of measurement time, this new device is much faster.We also believe the measurement disparity between a skilled, knowledgeable measurer and an amateur will be reduced.

Our products include a great many important components that have an enormous impact on the specs of our customers’ products, and many are used over a very long period of time, so, not only is it a matter of course that each of our products will need to be excellent and do the job, something that is also strongly demanded is flawless management of when, how, and by whom work is performed, whether the work method is appropriate, whether each process is evaluated correctly, and so on.
This requires a lot of man-hours, and it is therefore necessary to improve the productivity of our inspection and evaluation processes.

With convenient tools that are constantly evolving, it is necessary to try them out: otherwise, their strengths and weaknesses will remain unknown.We believe that, in the pursuit of excellent manufacturing, it is inevitable that we pursue the right tools to use.
Anyway, we will use this well, and construct an environment that will encourage our customers to feel comfortable relying on us!
