Easy to handle and more accurate

Targeting tribology (friction), which is closely related to equipment design, new material development, and general life With the “Tribo Gear Series”, you should be able to develop and propose products based on objectivity. In other words, it leads to business revitalization.

Customer satisfaction, functionality, and comfort are increasingly required in all modern industrial fields such as product development, manufacturing processes, and effect measurement.
If I could quantify comfort, such as comfort and discomfort that I casually felt in my daily life…
There are various types of friction and wear testers in the Tribo Gear series, and consulting on measurement that makes use of many years of experience.
We are satisfied with the problem-solving method related to friction and wear with a product lineup that meets the needs of our customers.
