Co-invented with TOYOTA in 1976

MT-Touch Sensor was developed as high-precision switches working in harsh environments such as car manufacturing lines where coolant and metal cuttings exist.

In machine tool industry, accumulating total 450,000 of this type switch were already used as Tool Setters by machine tool builders.

Nowadays MT-Touch Sensors is used by many engineers that realize the cost-effectiveness it brings in various machines and automated systems.

  

Output highly reliable position signals. No accidental error signal.

0.0005mm repeatability without an amplifer. No movement differential. Detect microns difference in dimension.

Protective structure IP67

Inner switching part is tightly sealed so that the switches can be used in a harsh machining environment 
(water, oil and coolant).

High cost performance

Only ON/OFF output, but 0.0005mm for repetitive accuracy is obtained by extremely lower price than that of digital micrometers and displacement sensors.
