To achieve dental health, we are working on the development of innovative products in the fields of restorative dentistry, preventive dentistry, periodontics, oral surgery, mobile dental care, and decontamination products (autoclaves) using NSK’s “innovative ‘grinding technology’” featuring ultra-high-speed rotation and ultrasonic technology. In each field, our goal is to create devices that allow dentists and dental hygienists to perform treatments more safely, quickly, and comfortably. We aim to develop devices that enable treatments that were not possible before and are less burdensome for patients.

With the rapid aging of the population, demand for neurosurgical procedures (subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, etc.), spinal column/cord surgery (spinal canal stenosis, intervertebral disc herniation, etc.), orthopedic surgery (knee/hip joint implant surgery, etc.), and various endoscopic procedures is expected to increase significantly. In these operations, safety and speed are paramount. The ability to perform accurate surgery in a short amount of time affects the success rate of surgery, reduces the burden on patients, and significantly influences postoperative recovery time. Therefore, NSK actively incorporates feedback from renowned surgeons worldwide to create truly user-friendly instruments (medical devices).

For the “automation of factories,” NAKANISHI’s ultra-high-speed, ultra-precision spindles in the Industrial Business are mounted on dedicated machines and robots on production lines in various industries (such as the automotive, smartphone, aircraft, medical device, and precision parts processing industries). They are utilized for ultra-precision processing of various parts. As their applications become more diversified and required performance levels and conditions increase, we are committed to developing products that anticipate these needs. Additionally, our high-performance micro grinders are used not only for micro deburring and mold making, which require precise and accurate work, but also in the craft and jewelry industries.
