PrecisionEquipmentBusiness

Nabtesco's Precision Equipment Business

provides broad support for high-tech industries

by supplying precision reduction gears as a

core product, wafer transfer units for

semiconductor-manufacturing equipment,

dry vacuum pumps, rapid prototyping

machine (stereo l ithography), thermal

control devices, and digital logging systems.

In addition, Nabtesco has developed

precision servo actuators by combining

precision reduction gears and servo motors

into single units, and the world's lightest,

ultra-thin, next-generation compact hoisting

machine for elevators (room-less l i ft

machine), steadily expanding the possibilities

for its technology.

TS Corporation and NABCO Ltd. have excellent core technologies that

complement each other, and although the companies are in the same

trade their business operations rarely compete against each other.

Although their operations partly overlap in the oil hydraulic equipment

business, the two companies run independent and specialized business

operations, maintaining substantial global market shares in their

respective business fields. Nabtesco's business fields, which combine

those of both company groups, comprise Precision Equipment,

Transport Equipment, Aircraft and Oil Hydraulic Equipment, and

Industrial Equipment. Encompassing the entire world market, the scope

of Nabtesco's business covers equipment and systems for air, land and

marine applications, such as those for aircraft, railway vehicles,

automobiles and ships, as well as automatic doors and other diverse

industrial machinery.
