History of Ogura's Advanced Technologies
As a pioneer in industrial jewel processing using diamonds, sapphires, and rubies, we have cultivated our advanced technology for more than 100 years since our founding in 1894.
Our unwavering traditions and history live on in today's ultraprecise microfabrication technologies with nanometer accuracy. Creating products and tools of ever higher quality and precision has gained us trust across a broad range of fields.
Ogura's strengths
Never- give- up attitude
We will continue to pursue all possibilities and challenge any wall that stands in our way.
Continuous improvement to become No. 1
Currently, Ogura supplies key parts to all processing machine manufacturers in Japan in some industries and boasts the No. 1 market share in the industries. The journey to this position has been challenging. We focused on standardizing the shape of the main parts of parts to overcome the challenges of stable supply and cost. In addition, we have steadily expanded our market share by making a series of unique proposals, such as the development of new parts that can be shared in different parts of the processing machine. And we are searching for proposals that contribute to the improvement of processing machine performance from a multifaceted and flexible perspective. This attitude has been the driving force behind building a high level of trust from processing machine manufacturers. S0, unrelenting effort and innovation that has brought Ogura to the top of the industry.
High-level technology deployment
We are striving to develop high-level technologies such as basic development that will lead to the future, product development that gives shape to needs, and development of reliable production and processing technologies.
History dwells at the tip of it
This is the history of the development and evolution of record playback needles, which began with an order from NHK in 1947. This technology enables diamond with the highest hardness on earth to be processed into an ideal shape regardless of the crystal orientation. Its shape optimizes with the grooves of the vinyl record, and you can enjoy high-quality sound. This microscopic technology has been applied to a variety of manufacturing applications, and by repeating its evolution, we are able to provide products that meet customer expectations even in today's precision processing, which is becoming smaller and more complex.
Robust integrated system
Experts in sales, design, technology, and manufacturing will share issues and provide one-stop support.
Quality Assurance and Functional Assurance
We continuously guarantee the quality of our products and follow them up until they function correctly in the field, ensuring their functioning.
Continuation of the Warranty
Pursuit of adaptation and co-creation
We thoroughly listen to and analyze requests and issues, and work with our customers to find solutions that adapt to their applications and environments, leading to optimal products.
Responding to customers and responding to society
In the market for electric wires (magnet wires), there is a need to develop dies that can deal with misalignment and bias in enameled wires. In addition, the enameled wires used in the motors of hybrid cars and electric vehicles are changing from conventional round wires to square wires, and Ogura was one of the first to respond to this trend, and has been designated by a major Japanese automobile manufacturer for the manufacture of dies. On the other hand, demand for nozzles for winding machines is also expected to increase. In particular, we have received requests from major manufacturers for mass production of nozzles for electric vehicle motors, and we will work on the development of nozzles with new shapes that respond to the miniaturization and diversification of motors. With the spirit of leading the progress of society, society, and daily life, including the global environment, Ogura will continue to move forward strongly.
Broad Creativity
We will freely develop the technologies we have accumulated over many years with a wide range of ideas to create products that match the times.
Aiming for growth faster than the market
Ogura nozzles have been adopted by leading manufacturers that pioneered the market and have earned a reputation for their operational advantages and precise use of even the smallest and most intricate details. Critical processes in the manufacture of semiconductors and electronic components will continue to be indispensable and the market is expected to continue to grow. On the other hand, overseas nozzle manufacturers continue to grow, so Ogura is required to improve quality and cost at a faster speed. In order to continue to be a company that contributes to people's joy, safety, and happy lives, which are needed by the times, Ogura will continue to accelerate the evolution of nozzle manufacturing.
