Welcome to the world of Yasojima technology

High precision machining technology

  • Development
  • Manufacturing
  • Production

Yasojima provides effective support for your product development needs. We liaise with your design department to ensure that you get the right material for your application and specifications, and actively suggest design proposals and improvements to suit the characteristics of your chosen material.

In order to realize customer requests for plastics technology capable of responding to ever-more-complex precision applications, Yasojima aims to develop more advanced microfabrication technology and to provide high-value-added products as we continue our push into the unknown, driven by our ambitions of realizing machining, evaluations, and inspections at the 2 μm level.

Yasojima enthusiastically promotes the use of information technology in order to meet the need for variable-type/variable quantity production, and to successfully deliver products that provide overall satisfaction in terms of quality, cost, and delivery period.

Roughness control

Yasojima utilizes machining, lapping, and polishing technology to produce optimum surface finishes for both curved and flat surfaces using processing technology developed in cooperation with university research institutions.

Developed in cooperation with university research institutions, our roughness control technology digitally reproduces the conventional techniques of skilled craftsmen, allowing us to select optimal processing conditions to match the characteristics of individual plastic materials in order to achieve the desired surface finish.

Lapping: Flatness/parallelism: 5 μm Maximum diameter: 400 mm
Polishing: Surface accuracy: Ra = 0.01 μm Maximum diameter: 400 mm

Microhole machining

Processing conditions are optimized to suit the characteristics of the material to be processed, and processing is carried out in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment with anti-vibration measures in place.

Microhole machining, microfabrication, and roughness control are performed in our optimally designed and constructed Sendai Plant.

Anti-vibration floor construction
Designed and built under the academic guidance of the Tohoku University Graduate School of Engineering.
The latest in anti-vibration floor construction prevents vibration from outside and restricts the transmission of vibration.

Temperature and humidity control system
Designed and built under the academic guidance of the University of Shiga Prefecture Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering.
Our production facilities feature enhanced insulation and an air conditioning system that employs hot and cold water, and uses multiple sensors in each area to maintain a constant temperature of 21°C±1°C and humidity of 50%±10%.

Welding/bonding (PEEK)

We provide high-precision welding and bonding for PEEK, which boasts excellent heat, chemical, and wear resistance.

Advantages of welding/bonding PEEK
  • Flexible product sizes - Create shapes that are larger than the size of the material to be processed itself.
  • Flexible design - Create shapes that are unachievable when only machining materials.
  • Lower materials costs - Affordably process shapes that would ordinarily involve the creation of significant waste during the machining process.
