EMC noise measurement and diagnosis

Asama Test Laboratory

Equipped with a large 10-meter radio wave anechoic chamber and a large shield room. Our experienced technical staff will provide measurement, diagnosis, countermeasures and advice. (Location: Saku City, Nagano Prefecture) Technical cooperation: Soshin Electric Co.

  • It can also be used for large equipment. (Turntable 3m in diameter / Load capacity 3t / Power capacity 75kVA)
  • Measurement of communication devices is also possible. (The opposing unit can be installed in a shielded room due to the pit structure.)
  • We offer the best countermeasures and advice based on our rich experience, track record and in cooperation with the EMC engineering department.

On-site testing

We can visit anywhere in Japan
For large equipment that cannot be brought to the Asama Test Site, EMC testing is conducted at the customer’s site. The best solution is provided by pre-testing, and speedy response is possible by visiting customers from four locations (Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, Osaka and Nagoya).
Technical cooperation: Soshin Electric Co.

CE marking
Overview of Onsite Testing
  • For large equipment and fixed facilities that cannot be brought to the test site, we will visit your factory or designated location to conduct EMC measurement.
  • We can obtain a certificate in cooperation with a notified body. (Please consult with us separately.)
  • We provide various noise countermeasures and advice at the pre-test stage, and support up to standard compliance.
  • On-site testing (measurement and countermeasures) other than CE marking certification testing is also available.
  • Characteristic tests in shield room (electric and magnetic fields, magnetic field measurement)
  • Investigation and countermeasures for noise disturbance caused by inverters, servo-mounted equipment, etc.
Target property

Large machine tools, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, injection molding machines, industrial robots, etc.

  • The power terminal disturbance voltage test is performed by bringing an isolation transformer (max. 60kVA) to the power supply side, so there is no need to worry about breaker tripping.
  • Measurements up to 300A can be made accurately with LISN (pseudo power supply network).
  • We can also comply with the Machinery Directive and Low Voltage Directive through our affiliated certification organizations and consultants.
