Shortest half-day estimate / Manufacturing of parts without drawings (reverse engineering) / We handle everything from scanning the actual item to processing based on drawings.

Do you have any of the following concerns regarding parts procurement? 1. The parts have been discontinued, and there are no suppliers available. 2. I can no longer rely on the manufacturing company I had requested. 3. The parts are damaged or worn and need replacement, but they are old parts and there are no drawings available. 4. There are no drawings, and I want to create the same item from the actual part. → Our company, which has three quality control centers in Japan, can take your actual part and handle everything from drawing creation to processing and inspection in one go. We perform scan modeling using non-contact 3D scanner-type three-dimensional measuring machines and image dimension measuring devices to reproduce the drawings. Additionally, we can handle quantities starting from single-item processing! We streamline your procurement process with a single point of contact for surface treatment, hardening, polishing, and more. Furthermore, our company also accepts measurements and evaluations of dimensions, geometric tolerances, three-dimensional measurements, curved surfaces, roundness, surface roughness, etc. We can handle everything from metals to plastics!

Shortest half-day estimate / Non-contact measurement devices can measure soft products such as plastics and rubber without deformation.

Soft products such as resin, plastic, and rubber are "difficult to measure" because they can deform when trying to measure them with tools like calipers. Measurement errors can also occur depending on the measurer. Rubber O-rings are a prime example of this. In such cases, our company uses non-contact measuring instruments. The image dimension measuring device (Keyence) / IM-8000 is a non-contact measuring machine that uses images for measurement, allowing for precise measurement of soft processed parts like rubber without deforming the object. If you are struggling with dimension measurement of products that stretch, shrink, or easily deform, please take advantage of our "measurement service." Additionally, we specialize in measuring mold parts and resin molded products, and we offer not only geometric tolerance measurement and evaluation using digital devices but also measurements of curved surfaces, surface roughness, and roundness. For over 30 years, we have provided processed parts to various client companies. Based on the inspection techniques we have acquired, we conduct measurement services. We have a proven track record with a wide range of industries, including semiconductors, automotive, electronics, medical, and food. For more details, please contact us or visit our website.
