Pneumatics is changing air that is wherever and infinitely available in the world to power energy. You might seldom see its actual applications, but currently pneumatic equipment is used in production and conveyer lines in almost all industries.

Koganei Corporation is a leading company to serve your factory automation and labor saving requirements with our pneumatic and electronic product range. Productiviy improvements and cost efficiencies are company' s pursuing targets, and they are vital for your competencies. By using pneumatics features which are cleanliness, low cost, and functionality enabling delicate human finger-like movement, we provide solutions required in a wide range of industries. We have also been developing environmentally friendly products used in water purification equipment etc.

We have used pneumatics from of old, but basic theory was established in the 17th century by famous Pascal. In the 19th century, air drills were developed for cutting coals in UK, and it went the first practical use of pneumatics. At the commencement of the 20th century, air brake was employed in trains in Japan. From 1950' s, pneumatics has been used in the automation field of machine equipment, and pneumatic applications have been achieving quantum leap in step with industries' development and expansion.
