Business Overview

Innovation from Measurement to Control

  • Since 1983, have started the development, manufacturing, and sales of pressure sensors. They convert measurement values into electrical signals, shifting from traditional measurement to control! 
  • An instrument that converts the "pushing force" of air or liquid into electrical signals, requires driving power, and can send measurement data in real-time to monitoring and control systems. Recently, with the perspective of labor reduction, automation of equipment has progressed, and the quantity installed, and demand are increasing from the viewpoints of improving the accuracy of automatic control and enhancing safety.

Core Technologies

SS Sensor

SS Sensor Semiconductor Strain Gauge Sensor

Medium to high pressure

In this semiconductor strain gauge sensor, a strain gauge is deposited by plasma CVD on a metallic diaphragm and on insulator film. This pressure sensor detects strain caused by the distortion of the diaphragm due to the pressure applied on this diaphragm from liquid, by means of measuring the change in resistance.

MS Sensor

MS Sensor Metal Thin Film Strain Gauge Sensor

Medium to high pressure

The MS sensor uses a sputter-deposited metal thin film strain gauge as the strain gauge, and compared to the SS sensor, it is a medium-to-high pressure sensor that has both high stability and high electrical stress resistance and can function in higher temperature environments and environments with more noise.

CS Sensor

CS Sensor Ceramic Thick Film Strain Gauge Sensor

Medium pressure

The CS sensor is a ceramic sensor in which a strain gauge and bridge circuit are formed on a ceramic diaphragm by thick film printing. Because the diaphragm itself is ceramic, it has excellent insulation and corrosion resistance and is a sensor module on which circuit components such as ASIC can also be mounted.

SUS316L Sensor

Enclosed SUS316L Sensor Stainless Steel Seal Diaphragm Sensor

Low to medium pressure

This is a diaphragm-type pressure sensor that has been oil-sealed between the sensor and the SUS316L diaphragm using the MEMS sensor die. This sensor is used for the low and absolute pressures, which detects a change in resistance of the strain gauge by transmitting the pressure received by the SUS316L diaphragm to the sensor die through the filled liquid.

CC Sensor

CC Sensor Ceramic Capacitance Sensor

Low pressure

The CC sensor is a highly repeatable low pressure sensor which detects pressure by sensing capacity change between the electrode installed on the ceramic diaphragm and another stationary electrode at the other end.

SC Sensor

SC Sensor Silicon Capacitance Sensor

Fine differential pressure

The SC sensor is a differential fine pressure sensor to detect pressure by change in capacitance between the diaphragm and the electrode. The silicon diaphragm is processed with micron-order accuracy on the cutting-edge micro-machining technology.

Industry Details

Process & New Energy

Key Areas

Hydrogen & ammoniaPetroleum Refining

Hydrogen is often transported and stored under high pressure, making accurate pressure monitoring essential to mitigate leakage and explosion risks and to maintain system stability. Pressure sensors monitor whether pressure remains within safe limits across filling, transport, and storage infrastructure.

Industrial Machinery

Key Areas

Machine ToolsOil & Pneumatic EquipmentInjection molding

In industrial machinery, pressure sensors are used to accurately measure the pressure of fluids and gases within machines and systems and utilize that data to finely adjust the set conditions. This helps maintain consistent product quality and improve overall operational efficiency. As a result, it also contributes to reducing the overall operational costs of the manufacturing process.

HVAC

Key Areas

Building Water Supply & DrainageLarge-scale Heating & CoolingClean Room

In air conditioning systems, measuring the pressure of the refrigerant contributes to improving the operational efficiency of the system, monitoring for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment, and reducing energy consumption. Additionally, in clean rooms, maintaining a constant room pressure helps prevent the entry of contaminants, thus contributing to the cleanliness of the room.

Semiconductor

Key Areas

Etching Equipment Chemical Delivery SystemsCleaning Equipment Cylinder Cabinet

Pressure sensors in semiconductor manufacturing equipment provide real-time measurement data, enabling automatic adjustment and monitoring of "gas, chemicals, and water." This not only enhances semiconductor production efficiency and quality, and protects the equipment, but is also used for the supply of dangerous gases and chemicals, as well as for leakage monitoring. 

MP/ Automobile

Key Areas

Automobile

In automobiles, numerous pressure measurements are required for systems such as the engine combustion system, brakes, and air conditioning. Improvements in fuel efficiency can be achieved through pressure control of fuel supply, and autonomous driving can be realized through brake control. These functions not only enhance performance but also contribute to increased safety.

MP/Constr. Machinery

Key Areas

Construction Machinery

Hydraulic control in heavy machinery such as excavators serves as the driving force for arm movements and earth excavation tasks. Therefore, the integration of pressure sensors is critical for enhancing the performance of construction machinery. By detecting abnormal pressures early, these sensors not only contribute to maintenance but also help reduce construction delays and support safer and more efficient operations.
