Zax Corporation (株式会社ザックス, Kabushiki Gaisha Zakkusu), was a Japanese company, founded in 1973, who was one of the world's leading manufacturers of microcomputer development and support systems such as in-circuit emulators, in-circuit debuggers and ROM writers.

With the establishment of its department of research and development in 1977, Zax Corporation introduced many innovations in the field of microcomputer development and support systems, with their line of in-circuit debuggers and in-circuit emulators, becoming famous for the reliability of its hi-tech development systems which attracted companies like Sega, who from the late 1980s to early 1990s comissisoned several ERX 318P and ERX 308P in-circuit emulators, provided as part of its Mega Drive software development kit, sold to licensed third-party video game development companies.

On January 1, 1997^[1]^[2] Zax Corporation was acquired by Tokyo-based company Lightwell Co. Ltd (founded in 1973), becoming Zax Division Lightwell Co., Ltd.^[3]^[4] and continued improving and innovating its line^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14] of microcomputer development and support systems until April 1, 2006^[15], when the company was acquired by Japanese heavy machinery manufacturing company Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. (with its origins in copper refining, trading, and mining, Sumitomo, founded in 1691^[16] as Izumi-ya, is since 1888 one of the oldest manufacturers of heavy machinery in Japan), becoming Sumitomo Heavy Industries Mechatronics, Ltd., its mechatronics division.

The company had for many years an american sales division called ZaxTek based in Irvine, California responsible for distribution of its products in USA which had previously been distributed^[17] in the country by AI Electronics Corp. of Japan, acquired in 1992 by Sega and renamed to SI Electronics Ltd..
