Katsura Opto Systems Co., Ltd. 

Top market share in tilt measuring sensors, driving major manufacturers down 

We handle planning, development and manufacturing of various optical electronics equipment and inspection devices, and related consultations and R&D. We have non-contact measuring sensor technology, which utilizes lasers, and established a system for small-quantity large-variety manufacturing. We maintain the top market share particularly in tilt (angle) measuring sensors, driving major sensor manufacturers down. Furthermore, we have composite sensor technology that allowed us to develop a single chassis sensor for measuring tilt, displacement, position, rotation and the like simultaneously. We will proactively promote further sales channel expansion to receive orders for special sensors from now on.
