This unique technology allows the user to write on the panel surface with a magnetic pen and magically erase the image with the sweep of a magnetic eraser.

First conceived as a presentation board for use in cleanrooms, the magnetic drawing panel evolved into the world’s favorite drawing toy, Magna Doodle®.  Licensed to Ohio Art and distributed around the world, over 65 million Magna Doodle® drawing toys are stimulating the creative imaginations of children of all ages.

Innovative Scuba Concepts took this technology to new 'depths' with their QUEST, Mini-QUEST and Q II message boards for scuba divers. QUEST, an acronym for Quick, Underwater, Erasable, Slate, Technology, is the message board of choice for sport divers and dive instructors around the world.

Coming full circle, Pilot re-introduced magnetic panel technology for use in cleanrooms with a new panel that can be erased from the front like a conventional chalk board.  See our CleanWriter page for more details.

Connectors, filters, flow control and sensors for Automotive, Medical, Optical Communication and Safety devices are examples of this unique technology. The ability to extrude rods, tubes and irregular shapes to sub-micron tolerances is achieved using a combination of precision machining and extrusion techniques.

Pilot's high-end fountain pen manufacturing technology evolved into a collection of stunning 18 karat gold and platinum jewelry. The line includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets and wedding bands. A unique manufacturing process creates facets that catch and reflect light to produce a dazzling effect. Pilot became the leading manufacturer of wedding bands in Japan in 1989 and in 1991 was awarded the World Gold Council's Superior Technology award at Tokyo's 2nd annual International Jewelry Show.
