µ-MIM® evaluation technology
Quality assurance with the world's most advanced measurement and analysis equipment
There are many small metal parts made by TAISEI KOGYO using µ-MIM technology that are difficult to mass-produce by machining, such as free-form surfaces, complex hollow structures, gears and so on.
Even those components that are difficult to standardise the position, chuck, or are too small to detect by the probe of the contact measuring device, are properly evaluated and quality assured.
Optical 3D measuring system
TAISEI KOGYO employs the ATOS triple scan system from GOM, Germany. In cooperation with the development staff, the Micro Focus model was first introduced in Japan and the measurement results and experiences have been accumulated.
X-ray-CT
TAISEI KOGYO has introduced the MCT225, a measurement CT system from Nikon Corporation, for measuring components with complex internal shapes. It enables to evaluate the external and internal 3D structures non-destructively in single micron resolution. Additionally, the cross-sectional views of arbitrary locations, comparative analysis with CAD data, and dimensional analysis are available.
Data analysis technology
It is possible to measure shapes that used to be impossible with other measuring instruments such as internal gears with an outer diameter of a few millimetres or less. Moreover, for gear shapes, in combination with newly developed gear evaluation software, it is possible to certify a grade in accordance with the gear standards.
Measurement example
Non-destructive, highly accurate evaluation is possible for any shape.
3D data can be obtained even from difficult shapes to chuck.
Example: Confetti

Evaluation of inner structure of micro components.
It can also measure the internal structure of minute components.
Example: Check valve
Comparative verification to the CAD data
We guarantee dimensional tolerance of +-5μm in components, such as a small nozzle, free curved parts, and so on.
Obtaining external and internal 3D data of components non-destructively.
It also measures porous materials. It can analyse porosity, pore cross section, etc.
Example: Titanium foam
alculation of void volume, as well as a statistical
summary of cross-section volume and average diameter of the porous hole, are possible.
Gear analysis
It is possible to evaluate pitch error, tooth thickness, tooth type / trace error, tooth surface error, grade certification (DIN, AGMA, JIS), etc.
Measurement ability: focus on a point of 3μm
Dimensional precision: 9+L/50μm
Assembly simulation
By comparing the measured data and original 3D-CAD data, assembly or movement simulations are also possible.
Simulation about gear contact and their movement is also possible.
Simulation of gear engagement in the products.
Applicable for measurement and assessment of installed gears in the components shown as below pictures.。
