Horiba presents mass flow controllers that are used as central components of process control in numerous industrial and scientific applications. A measurement and control system designed for long-term accuracy that functions reliably even in demanding production environments. The devices measure gas flows with high precision, dispense them continuously, and ensure that complex processes can be repeated with consistent quality over many years.
The controllers are not only designed for pinpoint measurements, but also maintain this accuracy over very long periods of time. Production processes that must run identically every day benefit from this stability. The devices are designed to deliver the same reproducibility in continuous use for ten to fifteen years—a performance profile that is virtually irreplaceable in semiconductor manufacturing and precision-sensitive industries with high process reliability.
Horiba drives new developments in close coordination with major industrial customers. Users, who themselves belong to the technologically leading companies, define requirements for future generations of devices. This results in MFCs with significantly reduced height, modernized interfaces, and optimized design that requires less installation space. The combination of compact mechanics and state-of-the-art communication shows how strongly further development is geared toward real-world production practices.
The components are manufactured under high-purity conditions to prevent even minimal contamination. For many industries—especially the semiconductor industry—this ultra-clean production is a prerequisite for reliable measurement results. The calibration processes also follow strict standards, which is why each device is precisely adjusted to the required measuring ranges. A new, semi-automated factory with complementary AI functions is set to expand these processes in the future without compromising precision.
The main production facilities are located in Japan, specifically in Aso and Kyoto. Additional manufacturing takes place in Korea and Singapore to efficiently serve regional markets. The devices are used worldwide, both in the US and in Europe. The semiconductor industry in particular is familiar with the products, values their quality, and trusts their long-term stability.
