Implementing JMAG
Precision Measurement and Manufacturing,
Department of Micro Engineering, Kyoto University Graduate School of Engineering Precision Measurement and Manufacturing Laboratory [Summer,2011]
Developing the Ultimate Creative Tools for Craftsmen to Realize Aesthetic Machining
The machines making the machines to create parts are the mother machines, or machining tools. How are materials accurately machined as fast and with as much power as possible to create a workpiece? Research toward even more accurate mother machines, which play a vital role in expanding Japanese industry, is advancing. Professor Atsushi Matsubara from the University of Kyoto Graduate School of Engineering received the 2011 JSPE Numata Memorial Paper Award with his research partners for their innovative ideas advancing cutting control. Professor Atsushi Matsubara discusses the allure of his research and mother machines as well as the role of JMAG in his work.

Shibaura Institute of Technology Kan Akatsu
M&E Energy Conversion Lab. [January,2011]
Tackling Next Generation Motor Development using JMAG
The evolution of technology for motors and control systems has been tremendous.
The progress of development is driven around an environmental axis which has provided motors that can cut the world's power consumption in half and brought us electric vehicles.
Electromagnetic field analysis software is becoming a tool indispensable in designing and evaluating the performance of these types of products.
Prof. Akatsu uses the electromagnetic field analysis software, "JMAG," for his M&E Energy Conservation Lab. at Shibaura Institute of Technology which is known for its achievements reducing torque ripple in permanent magnet motors and he is an executive member of several technical committees in The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. In this interview, Prof. Akatsu discusses motor development and electromagnetic field analysis software.

NIDEC SANKYO CORPORATION [November,2009]
Gaining Market Share by using JMAG to Support Customers
The Nidec Sankyo Corporation handles a wide range of products from robots
to micro stepping motors. The Nidec Sankyo Corporation's products hold
a share in the aggressive world market by providing products quickly to
customers from the first contact of the sales team to the delivery of the
product. JMAG, simulation technology for electromechanical design, supports
the speed as well as the development and design of their products. Kiyoshi
Miyazaki, Vice President of the Research & Development Headquarters,
Tsuneo Sato, Assistant Manager of Research & Development, and Toshifumi
Tsuruta, Assistant Manager of Research & Development, discuss their
strategies for gaining a larger share of the world market, the merits of
implementing JMAG, and the ways they utilize JMAG analyses.

NIDEC CORPORATION [November,2009]
Supporting the Success of New Businesses
The Nidec Corporation, a top manufacturer of small precision motors used
in devices such as hard disk drives and CD-ROM drives, entered the automotive
market with a mid-size motor for power steering in 2000. The tool that
facilitated their growth and success in a market the Nidec Corporation
had little experience or knowledge was JMAG, an electromagnetic field analysis
software from the JSOL Corporation. Less than 10 years have passed and
the Nidec Corporation has grown to hold roughly 10% of the market share.
Mr. Hitoshi Inoue, head of development for the Nidec Corporation, and Mr.
Nakaba Kataoka discuss the merits of implementing the JMAG system.
