Why Choose Us
Protection rating IP67 ensures resistance to oil and chips.
Precise positioning, enabled by the contact, or touch, technology, is available even in adverse environments with splashing water, oil, coolant, and chips.
Proven track record of application in CNC machine tools, automotive production lines, and in adverse environments where chemicals are involved.
High-precision positioning with a repeatability of 0.5 μm (range)
Co-developed with Toyota Motor Corporation as a switch that provides stable output of high-precision position signals even on automobile production lines.
With a track record of 500,000 units used in machine tools for positioning the origin of cutting tools and tables, we boast the world’s top share of the machine tool market.
Customization of the contact-probe is easy.
Customizing the contact-probe is possible for a variety of objects to be measured. If the measuring contact probe has an M2.5 mounting area, it can be installed by the customer, whether made by another company or by yourself.

Amplifier-free, precision mechanical system prevents false detection
Metrol touch switches avoid false detection due to mutual interference between sensors or changes in magnetic fields, unlike electric sensors.
In addition, the absence of amplifiers eliminates temperature drift and stress differences due to self-heating and enables detection of minute movements in the micron range.
This prevents defects and minor production stoppages caused by false detection, contributing to improved production efficiency and quality.
The following customizations are available depending on your intended application:
– Modification of measuring contact point/probe
– Change or add sensor protection boots
– Install protective cover for chips
– Adjusting the pressure of contact
– Cord length/protection, change/addition of relay connector
Please see catalog for details.
