Our Business

SPC Electronics’ components for use onboard satellites play an active role in communications, broadcasting, positioning and Earth observation. For instance, waveguides that transmit radio waves efficiently and circulators that control the direction of radio waves require not only efficient performance but also rigorous control to maintain light weight and reliability to operate stably in harsh environments. SPC Electronics makes use of its design technology cultivated over many years, and advanced manufacturing technology like dip brazing to meet the stringent requirements demanded by the aerospace industry.

Radiological equipment, which play a vital role in the field of medicine, require components such as RF drivers for generating high microwave output, waveguides for transmitting radio waves and rotary joints. SPC Electronics provides components that meet the requirements of advanced medical treatment, through advanced designing technology for high output microwaves and reliable manufacturing. Our components are widely accepted by medical equipment system manufacturers both in Japan and around the world for their high evaluation of performance, strict delivery management and quality control.

VSAT, or very-small-aperture terminal, is becoming popular worldwide as a low-cost communication network. At SPC Electronics, we provide a variety of LNBs (low noise block downconverters), which are the receiving components of VSAT. These components work for a number of frequency bands including S, C, X, ku, and ka bands, and are highly evaluated by global communications equipment manufacturers for their compactness and low noise. In the future, we will be further extending our lineup with products that support higher frequency ranges such as the Q and V bands, and meet new demands of high-speed, high-capacity transmission in satellite communications.

SPC Electronics has been developing a variety of millimeter wave modules suitable for high-speed transmission of high-capacity data, utilizing microwave circuity design technology and high-density mounting technology that we’ve cultivated over the years, for the proliferation of 5G networks. Diverse applications are anticipated including data linkage system between sites, a local 5G system that manages plant facilities and equipment over a wireless network, and communications with transportation vehicles such as trains. A new communications infrastructure that is resilient against disasters, yet offers excellent system scalability and mobility, will support society in the future.

Public facilities and equipment to protect the safety and security such as monitoring radar for airport land surfaces, radar for ships to support their navigation, and weather radar to predict torrential rains are also supported by SPC Electronics' technology. We provide waveguides that connect antennas to transmitters, rotary joints, small circulators used in the latest array antennas, and simulators for radar testing.

Microwaves and millimeter-waves are used in a wide range of industries such as aerospace, communications, and radar. We provide a broad selection of components and test equipment to verify the functions and performance required for utilization in each field.
In addition to industrial fields, we also offer experimental equipment that allows students to systematically learn from basic experiments of microwave technology in order to develop human resources who will be responsible for the future of society. This equipment has been adopted for use by many university engineering departments, technical colleges, and industrial high schools. Over the years, we have manufactured and sold microwave and millimeter-wave equipment in a wide range of frequency bands, functions, and performance. SPC Electronics will continue to provide a broad selection of products and services that apply radio wave technology.

SPC Electronics offers a variety of high-frequency power supplies delivering 5 to 1,000 kilowatt output and 1 to 400 kHz frequency range to meet diverse applications. We have also introduced a new power supply — PWM-controlled High-power Induction Heating Inverter — capable of supporting high power output of over 1,000 kilowatts, achieving a 30% increase in efficiency compared to conventional models, into the market to address a broad array of needs at manufacturing sites.

The Induction Heating (IH) method, which uses an induction current to generate heat in the metal itself, is highly regarded by customers in various industrial fields as a method of heating that is faster, higher temperature, and more efficient than combustion or electric heating, as well as being energy efficient, productive, and environmentally friendly. From melting/deposition, quenching/tempering, shrinkage fitting, annealing, forging, brazing/soldering, to paint drying, paint coat removal, and sealing, we contribute to reduced cost as well as improved productivity and quality in all sorts of heat treatment.

At SPC Electronics, we support our customers in solving their metal heat treatment issues by responding to the needs of their production sites. We use the latest computer simulators to design heating coils that are optimized for the workpiece being heated, and reflect the results of sample tests to offer proposals that lead to improved productivity.

The use of electromagnetic induction technology, which is used in industrial IH, is attracting attention as a new energy supply method for the next generation. SPC Electronics commercialized an inverter for wireless power supply in 2008, and we also participated in demonstration tests of power supplies in running electric vehicles. We will be contributing to the development of contact power supply systems for next-generation infrastructure, including automobiles, railroads, and personal mobility.
