ワコーテック Company Profile

"Force" is a fundamental physical quantity.

Our company's capacitive force sensor, DynPick, is a sensor that detects the six-axis components of force using capacitive elements arranged in the same plane. Unlike conventional force sensors, its simple structural principle allows for low cost, high reliability, and high performance. We expect it to be applied in various fields, including industrial robots, collaborative robots, assistive living robots, and medical welfare robots, which are anticipated to have significant market growth in the future. Despite being one of the most fundamental physical quantities, "force" sensors are currently not as widespread in the market compared to other sensors like optical sensors or temperature and humidity sensors. We are committed to advancing the adoption of force sensors in society, aiming for them to develop into familiar products.
