    In 1950, much more equipment had to be delivered than Orion's small instrument department could handle. In the spring of 1950, a few engineers, technicians, and workers took it upon themselves to leave Orion and create the basis for the mass production of modern electronic devices within the framework of the domestic instrument industry.

    1954-1956 Amateur radio measuring instruments (oscillator, oscilloscope, signal generator, tube voltmeter. A family of industrial measuring instruments was also developed, such as strain gauges, moisture meters, pH meters, density meters. Medical testing devices (electrocardiograph, Audiometer)
    1957 Serial production of nuclear measuring devices. Portable GM tube radiation meter, radiation counter, radiation averager and other nuclear devices. Portable TV signal and image pattern generator, TV device tester, dual-beam oscilloscope, time measuring oscilloscope for TV technology.
    1960 Medical instruments (electrocardiograph, phonocardiograph, ballisto-dynam. cardiograph, electromanometer, rheograph, electroencephalograph, pulso-tachometer)

    Transistor measuring devices

    1962 Logic circuits for building digital control and regulation systems and data processing equipment. Development of Hunor electronic digital computers began.

    1965 Development of a modular digital computer.

    EMG 830 computer

    1970 Multi-channel analyzers. Programmable digital voltage meters, digital frequency and time meters, and pulse generators can be integrated into fully automatic systems.

    1967-1972 Development of complex product families, which, due to their variability, are suitable for performing most measurement tasks occurring within a specific field of expertise.

    1972-1977 The EMG Plan Control (EMG PC) production management system was developed together with Comporgan

    1974 Programmable electronic calculators. EMG 666

    In 1978, the Hunor brand CNC machine tool control family was developed.

    Transformations

    On July 1, 1963, the Esztergom factory of the Factory of Electrical Devices and Measuring Instruments was attached to the factory. Initially, it produced only relays, but then the production of medical diagnostic instruments and then electronic measuring devices came to the fore. By 1966, the increase in production required the expansion in Sashalma. Three new assembly halls were built, and the Esztergom factory was also expanded.

    After the change of regime, the factory was liquidated starting in 1991 at the initiative of the tax office due to production tax debts. The EMG industrial park and the Kiserdő Clinic operate in its place.

    Interesting facts

    EMG developed the first digital, four-basic-operation, automatic desktop calculator (HUNOR), and then, in the second half of the sixties, the EMG 803 transistorized general-purpose computer.

    The highest number of employees was 3,100, including 240 engineers.

    During its operation, EMG has successfully registered 237 patents with the Hungarian Standards Office.
