YAMAMOTO

Based on our core light-control technologies built up 100 years since our founding in 1911, we have developed a wide range of industrial safety glasses such as laser-shielding safety glasses and other protective gear. We have continued to introduce new products as wells an industry pioneer in developing fine-particle masks and protective gear fore respiration equipped with electric-powered fans, based on the filter technologies we have built up over 30 years.We will continue to support safe, comfortable living environment by focusing not only on workers’ safety but on all aspects of their lifestyles.

POINT 01 / Light-controlling Technologies

To obtain the high energy they need, workplaces emit light harmful to the eyes, such as ultraviolet powerful visible light, and infrared rays.These come from various devices such as light from welding,UV Lamps, and laser machine tools.Our products make it possible to control a wide range of light, from UV to infrared, through filters using techniques that include absorbing, reflecting, and transmitting specific wavelengths and controlling light through polarity, to balance operating efficiency and worker safety.

[Factor technologies] refraction, parallelism, polarity (liner, circular), light sensing, shielding, photochromic, and more.

POINT 02 / Coating Technologies

Len coatings greatly impact the functions of glasses, in areas such as work efficiency and safety of the field of view. From basic features added to lenses such as anti-fogging and resistance to soiling, to incorporating specific properties of light such as reflectivity and wavelength characteristics, we meet a wide range if workplace and functional needs.

[Factor Technologies] anti-fogging, hydrophilic, heat-generating, chemicals, vapor deposition, mirrors, antireflective coating hydrophobic, and more.

POINT 03 / Safety-Based structural design

From developing lenses based on specialized optical properties to designing frames to bring out the lenses maximum performance through engineering, we are the only company in the industry able to handle all design, development, and production processes entirely in house. We support user comfort and performance by blocking UV rays and increasing the comfort of product’ fits, through designing products suited to the curves of japanese user’s faces. We are able to deliver safe products conforming to a wide range of standards including Japan industrial Standards(JIS), American National Standards Institute(ANSI) standards, European Standards(EN),and CE (European Union conformity mark) standards.

[Factor Technologies] transparency, weather resistance, shock resistance, strength, fitting, product standards, ergonomics, molding, grip, and more.

POINT 04 / Coating Technologies

In some working environments, people can be exposed to harmful fine.High-performance filters with high collection efficiency and low ventilation resistance are needed to eliminate such fine particles. We provide high-performance filters including PAPR protective filters with respirators that use electric fans to balance clear fields of view with safe respiration, approved in type testing by the Ministry of Health,Labour and Welfare of Japan (nation testing), as well as fine-particle masks with respirators and disposable fine-particle masks.

[Factor technologies] collection efficiency, low-leakage structures, HEPA filters, fit assessment technologies, fluid design, positive pressure structures, blower-unit design, ventilation resistance, and more.
