0.5μm High Repeatability

One of the great advantages of Metrol’s “Precision Positioning Switches” is “high repeatability”.
“Repeatability” is the range (R) which represents the difference between the maximum value and minimum value obtained from the variation in the signal point when the contacting part of the switch presses the detected object in 30 times...

The world's smallest Positioning Switches

Ultra Small Size Positioning Switches [PT] are small heros who secretly support manufacturing all over the world by "precision positioning".

The first idea for PT-Touch Switches dates back to 2006.
Large-scale semiconductor device manufacturers called saying,
"The compact switches we currently use are problematic as they often break.
I want a tough yet compact and highly accurate switch."...
