Topcon Corporation
Since 1932, Topcon Corporation, the parent company of TPS, located in Tokyo, Japan, has remained true to a vision of technological innovation. As the sole proprietor of optomechatronics--a unique, synergistic blend of optics, mechanics, and electronics technologies--Topcon Corporation introduced a series of high-precision ophthalmic, medical, surveying and industrial instruments for a wide range of applications. In fact, Topcon has more than 300 active patents in the U.S. alone. Today, Topcon Corporation continues to lead the way in these markets through their unparalleled dedication to craftsmanship and innovation.
The Topcon name carries a reputation of integrity and products of the highest quality receiving industry-leading certification for both its positioning and medical divisions. Topcon has revenues of about $1 billion annually and employs more than 4000 worldwide with 10 domestic subsidiaries and 26 overseas sales and manufacturing subsidiaries.
Ophthalmic and Medical Instruments
Topcon's refractometric, diagnostic, and remedial equipment, as well as quality eyeglass lenses, are designed for the expressed purpose of preserving and restoring vision. Topcon's line of ophthalmic and optical instruments, including retinal cameras, slip lamps, non-contact tonometers and digital imaging systems, diagnose and treat with utmost precision eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts and vision-damaging diabetes. In addition, Topcon develops eyeglasses that deter harmful ultraviolet rays, seamless bifocals, and contact lenses that "breathe," and adjust for astigmatism.
Construction and Optical Positioning Instruments
Precise positioning is at the heart of the machinery and technology that builds communities throughout the world. Such precision in operation results in superior quality craftsmanship, safer jobsites, drastically reduced time on the jobsite, and reduced labor costs. That's why Topcon's surveying, construction equipment guidance and control systems, and elevation and alignment control lasers, are used worldwide for constructing roads and buildings, bridges and tunnels, shopping centers and airports, homes and schools, and much, much more.
Not only is Topcon the largest company in the world focused exclusively on positioning control and machine control products, software, and applications for the civil engineering and construction industries, it is the world's leading supplier of surveying total stations. Topcon also offers the most extensive line of all types of surveying instruments from completely waterproof automatic levels to fully robotic auto-tracking total stations for one-man surveying.
But, there's more. Topcon's exclusive GPS+ technology is the core of its advanced satellite-based surveying products. This technology allows Topcon equipment to utilize the full constellation of both the GPS (United States) and GLONASS (Russian) navigation satellites. This provides up to 33 percent more positioning information than GPS-only systems which translates to higher accuracy and productivity.
Innovation and productivity define Topcon's laser instruments and automated machine control systems. By applying many of the positioning technologies used in its total stations, Topcon brought higher accuracies and more efficient performance to all construction laser users. Its machine control systems are recognized worldwide for their seamless integration on all types of earthmoving equipment and for durable, smooth and easy operation.
Industrial Instruments
Topcon provides a wide range of measuring, photometry and colorimetry instrumentation, semiconductor testing and manufacturing equipment, and optical components and devices.
Topcon's automated measuring devices ensure unmatched accuracy in measuring precision molds and lead frames for electronic devices. The company's industrial and tool measuring microscopes virtually eliminate discrepancies caused by variations in different operators read the same instruments.
Topcon colorimeters are used in the manufacture of automobile instrument panels, its optical Star Scanners are working to keep satellites on the right course, and the company's precision optical products are found in the leading brands of copiers, laser printers and fax machines.
Additionally, Topcon provides an In-Line Semiconductor Testing System featuring the industry's highest achieved resolution and accuracy. The company's Scanning Electron Microscopes are highly regarded tools for observational and analytical work while their Wafer Surface Particle Measuring System effectively minimizes the chance of wafer contamination. build.
