Business policy

At Magnescale, in the area of high-precision measurement technologies, our fundamental principles guide us to build our business by encouraging and nurturing principles of superior craftsmanship. For instance, Our Magnescale products, which originated from tape recorder magnetic storage technology, and boast high resistance to environmental stresses and offer exceptional precision and high resolution, have spurred progress in the machine tool industry. Meanwhile, our Laserscale products, which originated from optical disk-derived optoelectronics technologies, and were developed with electronics miniaturization in mind, have contributed to improvements in advanced semiconductor technologies and high-density production equipment. Moreover, in today’s manufacturing industry, our principles further call for us to pursue technical innovation with a global perspective, which involves addressing problems facing the global environment.

To that end, we aim both to develop better measuring devices and to work on systemization technologies. More than anything else, we feel that this calls for an even closer partnership with our customers-a partnership that enables us to anticipate customer needs that demand our principles of superior craftsmanship. With that in mind, we at Magnescale are working to enhance our capacity to come up with cutting-edge technologies, and are actively seeking solutions to the challenges our customers face. Such efforts combined are enabling us to upgrade production technologies and are thereby yielding higher product quality and reliability. In this regard, acting as a partner in this new era, we shall work even harder to meet the needs of our customers.

Development and design

Creating cutting-edge semiconductor products and scales to fit the needs of the constantly-evolving machine tools industry requires that we meet the ongoing needs of our customers. Giving thought to our semiconductor roadmap, the direction of the industry, and the demands of our customers, we set out a highly precise roadmap, and spare no effort in research and development to make it a reality. To develop new devices and pm resolution scales, a system to rate the process must be developed at the same time. Design and development methods must also constantly progress. Engineers in the fields of physics, chemistry, electricity, machinery, and software all work together to further enhance the functions of the Magnescale and Laserscale. We maintain our basic technological expertise following our own roadmap as an organization that rapidly and flexibly develops products that fit our customers’ needs, doing everything to retain our customers’ trust.

Production and quality control

By proving products with excellent safety, quality, and reliability, we establish total quality control from design to product release, maintaining the international standard of the quality management system (QMS) and giving our customers 100% satisfaction. Our facilities include an ultra-high precision temperature-maintained room essential to production of scales, high-precision measuring equipment refined by a traceable fixed secondary standard set at the national standard, and a clean room necessary for the assembly of fine equipment. We also use out-gas analysis equipment for the increasingly popular vacuum scale. As worldwide regulations on noise are currently growing stricter, we use a testing facility for the highest standard, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
