There is a suitable place for each type of sensor. We propose what can be done with a magnetic sensor. There is a reassuring 3-year warranty for natural failures.

■ It uses an optical sensor, but it requires regular cleaning, which is a hassle. ■ The optical sensor cannot be used in environments where dust and mist are constantly present. ■ It uses a mechanical switch, but due to the high number of operations, it needs to be replaced frequently. ■ I want to avoid mechanical switches for waterproofing reasons. ■ I want to detect from a bit further away; detection over 100mm is possible. ■ I want to detect through obstacles (as long as they are non-magnetic materials, there is no problem). ■ Detection is not possible due to freezing or condensation. Are you facing any of these issues? There are environments suitable for magnetic sensors. Additionally, magnets have N-pole and S-pole polarities. While general proximity switches can only output ON/OFF signals, magnetic sensors can individually output signals for N-pole and S-pole. With some creativity, hardware and programming are also possible. For example, you can use it for deceleration (N-pole), stop (S-pole), stop (N-pole), emergency stop (S-pole), and you can also use address codes as a ternary code. Completely non-contact. Would you like to switch to a maintenance-free, long-lasting Makome sensor? Length measurement, rotational measurement, direction of movement detection.

Applications/Examples of results

There are many achievements in places where replacement work is difficult due to being resistant to damage (high places, underground, caves, and remote mountains where one does not want to go except for regular inspections). Indoor and outdoor mechanical parking lot pallet positioning Theme park attraction high-speed coaster passage detection Outdoor parabolic antenna positioning Elevator stop position detection and passage count measurement Food machinery door opening and closing safety devices Ship winch rotation detection Since it is not affected by non-magnetic dust, it is particularly compatible with woodworking and stone processing machines! There are also many achievements in coolant resistance. We can customize from outdoor specifications to underwater specifications. Please consult us for waterproofing, pressure resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, radiation resistance, case material changes, cable extensions, connectors, detection sensitivity changes, additional latch circuits, etc.

Utilizing our original technology of saturable coils, we offer a fundamentally simple magnetic detection element technology that provides high precision and long-term stability even under adverse conditions. We have received strong support from a wide range of industries, including unmanned transport carts, industrial equipment, labor-saving machines, material handling, machine tools, injection molding machines, civil engineering and construction robots, food machinery, industrial machinery, nuclear facilities, and ships. We also excel in sensors for motorsports such as F1 and Moto GP, inclinometers for construction machinery, and magnetic sensors used for ultra-high precision measurements in scientific fields. Some of our products are also used in applications like multi-story parking and golf cart guidance sensors. All of our products are developed and manufactured 100% in Japan, with over 80% of our product lineup being custom-made based on individual customer requests. We offer many custom options, including waterproof, explosion-proof, heat-resistant, water-resistant, and radiation-resistant specifications. If you have any issues related to sensing or measurement, please feel free to consult us. IoT Platform: Our sales and technical staff will fully support you, from minor customizations of existing products to proposals for new detection principles. You can also rely on us for assistance with Kaizen (continuous improvement). Our standard products come with a reassuring 3-year warranty. Location: Ina, Nagano Prefecture.
