Our Strengths

01

JAPAN MADE

All of our machines are developed, designed & manufactured in the headquarter factory in Japan. Under strict quality controls we have been producing high quality machines to our customers for more than 50years. Our product lineup is the most extensive in our industry, and thus possible to meet various needs from manual machine to latest CNC machine. Our market share of tool & cutter grinder is the biggest in Japan, and in overseas market we were selected as a "Global Niche Top 100" company by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI Japan) in 2020.
02

Covering three consecutive processes

In manufacturing process of cutting tools, "Blank Grinding" to make rough shape of the tools, "Tool Grinding" to form all the cutting edges & relieves, and "Tool Measuring" are required in a row. Originally we were the company to produce only "Tool Grinding" machine, but with the development of Tool Measuring Machine in 2016 and High-Precision Vertical Cylindrical Grinder ("Blank Grinding" machine) in 2017 we became the only machine builder in the world covering these three consecutive processes.
03

Original software

While many tool & cutter grinder manufacturers use general-purpose software of software developers, our machines always comes with our own software. We have developed the most suitable software for each machine & application such as "MSPS-II" for tool & cutter grinders, "Flute Creator" specialized in fluting process, and "Blank Creator" for blank grinding, in order to maximize the performance of our machines.
