They also have linear sensors with 40mT or higher outage voltage saturation rate on both S and N-sides.

Hengstler, Inc. System Electronic has been around since 1973. They started out selling and importing sensors, proximity switches, and similar products in Germany.

However, in 2000, they established a new company and named it System Electronic Japan Co., Ltd. The company now outsources these sensors from German companies. They are now the sole distributor of Pulsotronic GmbH & CO.KG in Japan. 

They sell proximity sensors with 1mm to 4mm, 5mm to 8mm, and 10 to 20 mm threaded metal housing.

They also have proximity sensors with 10 to 20 mm and 50 to 100 mm smooth plastic housing. They also sell water-resistant sensors and proximity sensors with 20 to 90mm smooth metal housing.

Koyo Electronics Industries Co., Ltd. is engaged in manufacturing and selling FA control systems, automotive devices, imaging devices, and electronic control devices.

In their half a century of doing business, they acquired Environmental Management System ISO 14001 and Quality Management System ISO 9001 certifications. 

The company supplies different proximity sensor models like front face and upper face sensing types, rectangular, cylindrical resin, and cylindrical metal types. These sensors support all types of purposes and environments.

These are either 2-wire or 3-wire types with DC outputs. These sensors are also power-saving and operating even on longer distances.

B＆PLUS KK is one of the companies that promote environmental and quality policies. They consider energy saving, waste reduction, and environmental load reduction measures in their daily operation.

They were established in the latter part of the 1980s with over 100 million yen of accumulated capital. 

They sell oscillation type, high-frequency cylindrical shape proximity sensors. These sensors come in M8 to M30 types. These rectangular-shaped sensors also come in DC and AC, 2-wire and 3-wire format.

They come in connector connection, prewire connectors, or cable connector types. They also come in various sizes and shapes — small, cylindrical, square flat, and maxi.

MACOME Corporation was founded in 1971, and as of 2013, it has amassed over 50 million yen in capital and 820 million yen in sales.

The company aims only to manufacture long-lasting and maintenance-free products that value their customer’s trust and business. 

Their proximity sensors are proudly built for prolonged use,, even in harsh environments. Their H series sensors are best used with precisions machines as their reference point sensor.

It adopts an S-pole and N-pole borderline magnet, generating switching or analog signals. The repeatability of the S-pole and N-pole target magnet borderline is ±0.1µm. They also have the SW series that has a maximum of 200mm operation distance.

Japan Sensor Corporation has been around since 1972 and in its almost 50 years of existence, they were able to provide their customers with the best solutions.

They specialize in developing and selling infrared radiation thermometers. They consider themselves a leader in measurement technology because they could provide over 100% satisfactory products. 

Their FTK X series of fiber-type infrared thermometers have a 100-degrees to 200-degrees Celcius measuring range. Customers can still select and customize from over 140 patterns.

It also has a heat resistance of up to 150-degrees Celcius and a spot size of φ0.15 mm. Lastly, these thermometers also have the fastest response time which is at 1ms or 0.001sec.

GEOMATEC Co., Ltd. was established in Shinagawa-ku in 1952 with a 300,000 yen capital.

Its primary purpose back then is to manufacture and distribute vacuum coating-fabricated optical components. It was only in 1992 that the company finally settled with the name Geomatec Co. 

Part of their expansion all through the years is the inclusion of switches and sensors into their product offerings. The company manufactures sensors and switches for a variety of uses and shapes.

With the use of transparent conductive film as a conductor, they created invisible, transparent sensory parts. They were also able to come up with attractive designs by using decorative film.

Renesas Electronics Corporation was established in November 2002. However, they only started operating in April 2020.

They have a total of 28,971 million yen capital stock at the time of launching. The company aims to expand its already comprehensive portfolio of power and analog devices, microcontrollers, and sensors.

Their focus is on the following IoT, infrastructure, industrial, and automotive segments. 

The company’s digital proximity sensors exhibit features like Time of Flight signal processing, sleep modes, intelligent interrupt, easy-to-use and straightforward algorithm, low-power consumption, superior range, and low light sensitivity.

These sensors and their combined light are integrable to prevent any kind of accident while in use.

Kistler Japan was founded by Walter P. Kistler and Hans Conrad Sonderegger in 1959. It started as a company specializing in piezoelectric measurement technology, and it took a while before it became a research and industrial solution provider.

Currently, they develop and manufacture their proximity sensors at their Straubenhardt facility. 

The company sells all sorts of inductive proximity switches and Opto sensors. The designs vary from frame and fork light barriers to through beam-light, split barriers.

These sensors have analog, 0 to 10 VDC, and digital PNP output signals. It also has a 5mm to 100mm fork width and a 5mm to 100mm fork depth.

IBS Japan Co., Ltd. imports and sells up-to-date overseas communication equipment, PC-related peripherals, software, and network equipment while also providing technical support and other related services with the help of its subsidiaries in Taiwan and the United States. 

The company sells opposed beam, retroreflective proximity sensors. Apart from that, their Hall effect sensors exhibit such features as 3/8″ and 0.75 ” cylindrical sizes, NPN OC output, stainless steel case structure, and 3m cable connection.

They also have general duty sensors with electrical induction and NPN OC outputs, plastic case structure, and a 2m cable connection. They also offer stainless steel and flat-pack proximity sensors.
