Magnetic sensor, inclinometer, length measurement, detection, etc.
Robust and long-lasting, maintenance-free. Flexible customization to suit usage environments. Waterproof, water-resistant, pressure-resistant, explosion-proof, radiation-resistant.
At Makome Research Institute, we have numerous achievements in the civil engineering and marine construction industries. We also have many accomplishments in the development of custom products with general contractors and construction equipment manufacturers. Length measurement, inclination, position, rotation, distance, and metal detection (ferromagnetic detection). External length measurement sensors can be attached to rental construction equipment (e.g., secured with bands without drilling). If you are having trouble with sensors used in harsh environments, please consult us. We handle a variety of custom products. Please also consult us regarding patent acquisition and non-disclosure agreements related to the application of our products.
