OUR STRENGTHS

01

Core technology of Techno EXCEL that can freely control water, air, and liquid

We support high functionality and multifunctionality from within through our diverse elemental technologies.

From the coveted high-end models to the standard models, home appliances and professional equipment that are indispensable in our daily lives. Various technologies which we have created and cultivated for many years, such as fluid control technology and precision processing technology, have been adopted. In addition to responding to the demands of our clients, we are also focusing on the development of new technologies while looking ahead for the needs of end users.

Pressure Control

Detects the pressure of fluids such as liquid and air and converts it into an electrical signal, which can be used to open and close, adjust the water discharge pressure, release it, and freely control the pressure.

Channel Switching

Mainly used for kitchen and bathroom faucets, it switches between raw water, shower, and purified water by switch operation. It combines our original switching structure, insulation technology, and waterproof technology.

Flow Rate Control

A technology to control the flow of liquid such as water. It controls the required flow rate according to the application and purpose.

Flow Rate Measurement

The propeller (impeller) is rotated by the force of flowing water, and the number of revolutions is converted to flow rate to be measured. Despite its small size, it can measure flow rate in a wide range and with high accuracy.

Safety Features

Safety is a matter of course for home appliances. Our technology takes into account unexpected usage environments and ways of usage to avoid any possible hazards.

Precision Machining

Metal mold manufacturing, which is the source of the molded parts and metal parts that make up our products, brings together the skills of our metal processing experts who have passed down their techniques and technologies over many years.

Elemental technologies of Techno Excel that support various functions

  • Solenoid Technology

    A solenoid is a cylindrical coil made of a conductor wound into a spiral shape. When the solenoid is wound around a core (metal), it becomes an electromagnet. Solenoid electromagnets are used as the driving source for many of our products, such as solenoid valves for open/close valve operation and door lock switches for door lock operation. As it is used especially in water-related home appliances such as fully automatic washing machines, our unique feature is to mold it with a thermoset resin to increase the electrical and mechanical strength.

  • Insulation Technology

    While insulation by tape wrapping is as the common practice for protection for solenoids, our solenoids are molded with a flame-retardant thermoset resin that isolates the solenoid from the outside. Therefore, our solenoids have excellent insulation, heat dissipation, and flame retardance. They are also protected from external damage, ensuring safety and high quality.

  • Waterproofing Technology

    While it is said that it is difficult to permanently waterproof the circuit boards of water-related products such as the operation panels of fully automatic washing machines and dishwashers/dryers, our waterproofing technology protects the circuit boards with urethane resin and hot-melt to achieve high waterproofing properties suitable for harsh operating environments.

  • Liquid Control Technology(Solenoid Valve)

    This technology controls the flow of water and other liquids by opening and closing valves by turning the current to the solenoid on and off. Those of general-purpose size are used in fully automatic washing machines and dishwashers/dryers, and those of small size are used in warm-water washing toilet seats, etc. Our products are recognized not only for accurate operation and safety, but also for excellent waterproof performance among water-related products.

  • Gas Control Technology(Solenoid Air Valve)

    This technology controls the flow of air and other gases by opening and closing valves by turning the electric current to the solenoid valve on and off. It is used in the legs and arms of massage chairs and rear seats with massage functions, for example, to inflate an airbag and deflate it by discharging air.

  • Lock Mechanism Technology(Door Lock Switch)

    This is a locking mechanism to ensure safer use of products. It is applied to prevent the door of the washing tank from opening while the fully automatic washing machine is in operation, and to child-lock mechanisms for products. In recent years, we have constantly responded to the need for safety, such as designing a door that can be opened from the inside in the unlikely event that a child is trapped inside the washing machine, for example.

  • Electrolytic Technology

    This is a technology for generating highly bactericidal hypochlorous acid water, which is used for industrial dishwasher/dryers and toilet flushing water, by electrolysis of salt water or hydrochloric acid, and a technology related to the equipment for generating such water. It is a technology that is expected to be used in a wide range of fields such as virus prevention, deodorization, and bacteria elimination.

  • Circuit Board and Software Development Technology

    Development of circuit boards and software for operation panels for fully automatic washing machines, dishwashers/dryers, and warm-water washing toilet seats. We respond to the needs of our clients with high technology from design and development to evaluation and verification, taking into account the client’s intention and user-friendliness.

  • Circuit Board Assembly

    Based on the specifications and programs of the board software completed through repeated trial production and examination, parts are mounted and soldered by automation. The breadth of our technical domain, which allows us to undertake circuit board assembly as well, also contributes to the trust our customers have in us.

  • Metal-processing Technology

    We are capable of in-house procurement of various processed-metal products such as injection molds, metal parts for various products, and scalpels for medical use by making full use of various metal-processing equipment such as machining centers, electric discharge machines, and NC lathes. Our strength is that we are able to perform the entire process from die fabrication to molding and product assembly.

“Solenoid valves” and “sensors” manufactured by combining these core and elemental technologies are used in a variety of products, from electrical appliances such as fully automatic washing machines and warm-water washing toilet seats to commercial equipment such as large printers.
