We offer products used at research and manufacturing sites, such as undulators used at large-scale
synchrotron radiation facilities and rolls for steel mills.
Linear Motors/Linear Stages
Rolls for Steel Mills
Linear stages equipped with linear motors that are designed and
developed in-house can handle diverse requirements, including the
need for high precision or long strokes.
Our rolls for steel mills are extremely heat and shock resistant, which
is needed to roll out very hot steel and iron ingots with great pressure.
Moreover, the rolls have the superior abrasion resistance required to
make highly precise product shapes. Our wide-ranging product
lineup for steel sheets and plates, shapes, pipes, and wires is
designed to meet steel manufacturers’ diverse needs. Above all, our
HINEX™ line of high-speed steel rolls, which are produced through
new casting methods, have vastly improved performance compared
to traditional rolls, making it possible to reduce rolling costs.
Fuel Assembly Sustention
Tie Plates
Control Rod Drive Components
Turbine Blades
Control rods, which regulate the number of neutrons
inside a nuclear reactor and control the reactor’s
output, serve an extremely important role in shutting
down reactors in times of emergency. In an
emergency, they are all inserted into the reactor.
Housings for control rod drives (CRD) and in-core
monitors (ICM)—important components in the makeup
of CRDs—need to be highly reliable. We offer reliable
products that meet this requirement through our
integrated manufacturing system, which draws upon
our broad expertise and the latest technologies.
Our high-precision complex-shaped
turbine blades for generators that are
manufactured using the lost-wax
process are durable enough to with
stand extreme high temperature
conditions in which they are exposed.
HINEX™ rolls
These metal fittings are cast using the
lost-wax process and are used to support
the top and bottom of fuel assemblies
comprising bundles of fuel rods used in
nuclear reactors.

We supply undulators to SPring-8, a large synchrotron radiation facility capable
of producing the most powerful synchrotron radiation in the world, and SACLA,
an adjacent X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) facility. To generate synchrotron
radiation, magnets are used to change the path of electrons that have been
accelerated to nearly the speed of light. Extremely bright and highly directional
synchrotron radiation contributes to wide-ranging research in everything from
nanotechnology and biotechnology to industrial applications.
SPring-8
Materials for aircraft engines and fuselage components, such as
landing gears, must be durable enough to withstand
high-temperature, high-pressure combustion gases, high-speed
revolutions, or repetitive heavy loads for an extended period of
time. Therefore, such component materials must be highly
reliable and durable. Our materials for aircraft components are
highly acclaimed and trusted thanks to our special melting
technologies and manufacturing processes that have been
nurtured over the years.
