[Column] How to Measure Angles with High Precision? An Introduction to Measurement Methods and Types of Instruments

High precision and high resolution! Long working distance, non-contact instantaneous angle measurement.

The "Smart LAC Series" is an angle measuring device that measures the tilt of a surface without contact. Conventional displacement sensor methods calculate based on the height difference between two points, making them less effective for measuring small workpieces. However, this product adopts a laser autocollimator method, allowing measurement at a single point, thus enabling the measurement of small workpieces. Additionally, it supports both single spot measurement and multi-spot measurement. 【Features】 ■ Non-contact instant angle adjustment ■ Long working distance (Measurement range ±0.5 degrees at W.D. 300mm) ■ High precision and high resolution ■ Wavelength selection available from red, green, blue, and infrared ■ Capable of measuring the angle of external incident light *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

As a celebration of the launch of tesa 88648, we are offering it at a special campaign price. Campaign period: Until the end of December 2025 *For details about the campaign, please feel free to contact us. tesa 88648 is a double-sided tape made of non-woven fabric, developed for industrial applications. It combines "strong adhesion" and "clean re-peelability," making it suitable for a wide range of substrates such as metal, plastic, and foam materials. It also excels in processability and heat resistance, meeting various needs in manufacturing sites, such as component fixation, bonding, and reusable design. ■ Examples of applications - Fixing internal components of home appliances and office equipment - Bonding metal panels and plastic parts - Fixing displays and sealing materials - Adhesion of foam materials and cushioning materials - Product development requiring recycling and re-peelable design, etc. *For product information, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us.

Prove Mind Inc. (Headquarters: 1-3-6 Hirakawacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Satoshi Yuza) will begin offering a new design environment called "TAYURA Canvas" for its self-developed business infrastructure service "TAYURA Base" starting in early October 2025. TAYURA Canvas is built on the open-source design tool "Penpot" and is characterized by its ability to be used on dedicated company servers rather than as a public cloud service. This allows for secure collaboration with reduced risk of information leakage while sharing designs among internal and external teams. Additionally, we will provide a stable environment and support to ensure that the open-source software can be utilized in a manner suitable for corporate use.

The "EXPO2025 JPO-WIPO AWARD" is an award established for this occasion as a collaboration between the Japan Patent Office (JPO) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) at the Osaka-Kansai Expo. Our company has been awarded as one of the recipients in the "Climate Change Category." The award ceremony will take place on October 4 (Saturday) within the venue of the Osaka-Kansai Expo during the "International Forum on Promoting the Utilization of Intellectual Property for Achieving the SDGs," and the event will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel. Judges' Award Points (Excerpt): - "SPACECOOL" achieves a solar reflectance of up to 95% and a radiative cooling rate to space of up to 95% through its unique optical design, resulting in a surface temperature reduction of 2 to 6°C compared to the ambient temperature under direct sunlight, representing a zero-energy cooling technology. In a demonstration test in Saudi Arabia, it was estimated to reduce air conditioning energy consumption by an average of 29% and CO2 emissions by 21 tons over 15 years. - In terms of intellectual property utilization, as a large corporate spin-off startup, we have acquired and secured multiple rights domestically and internationally from basic patents to applied patents since the development stage. We have built a network of applied patents for the higher concept with radiative cooling functions and are implementing an open & close strategy to balance collaborative promotion and rights protection.
