Okano Technology

FA customized solutions
Most of the products made by Okano are the customized systems to match the customer's requirement and production facility. Since we developed the world's first analog in-circuit tester which is now the standard for print circuit board test, we have consistently performed development, design, manufacturing and installation work, and we have cultivated experience and know-how to meet customer's needs.

We have delivered our systems with our three main technologies, which is Okano original "Image processing technology", "Handling technology" based on our know-hou over 50 years of experience, and "Measurement technology". Okano has abundant experiences, achievements, and know-how focusing on the customer's requirement. For instance, we have provided the handling systems with 1μm placement accuracy according to our customer's needs. In other case, we have created our original visual inspection algorithm born from various inspection requirements from our customers. Therefore, it is possible for us to make our proposal that meet customer needs. We continue to provide customized systems by making full use of our outstanding technical capabilities and abundant experience.
Our factory automation systems created by the reliable technology is available in a wide range of industrial fields such as the electronic / electrical industry, communication industry such as mobile phones, hard disk industry, medical industry, tool industry, transportation industry such as automobiles, and food industry. Also, we are able to provide the solution for enhancement of the customer's facilities with our systems.
