Sugawara has developed and refined proprietary mechatronic technologies for high-precision measurement of rotation and motion. BEARING INSPECTION SYSTEMS Anderon Meters are used to inspect ball bearings, while Wavimeters are used to inspect the finish of bearing parts. Previously used exclusively by bearing manufacturers, these devices are increasingly being brought in-house by those who use bearings, such as motor manufacturers, as the significance of bearing quality control gains wider recognition. Sugawara's Bearing Inspection Systems help reduce the operating noise of home appliances such as air conditioners as well as noise in automobiles. An Anderon Meter can be used to inspect delivered bearing products as well as to determine requisite bearing quality. By developing a high-performance spindle with minimal run out, Sugawara recently commercialized a revolutionary Anderon Meter capable of measuring to an accuracy within 0.1 Anderon. This enables high-accuracy measurements for quieter bearings. TORQUE DYNAMOMETERS Sugawara's torque dynamometers are widely used to create quiet, ripple-free motors. We believe motor characteristics should be measured with load control systems best-suited to the characteristics of the target motor - a concept that has earned the support of many clients.
STROBOSCOPES Sugawara offers a wide array of stroboscopes, ranging from general-purpose portable products to larger models for use in production lines and laboratories. The flash duration provided by these products ranges from an extremely short 40 nsec to as long as 2 msec. Our strobe vision scopes are capable of recording stationary images of high-speed phenomena and fast-moving objects obtained by stroboscopic illumination. Sugawara also offers a wide range of unique products, including high-voltage electric spark generators suitable for spark method studies involving the visualization of supersonic motion.
