Due to the inability to replace it, it is necessary to store and manage it carefully to prevent damage.
Recently, I received an inquiry from a purchasing manager regarding the replacement of lost wax products. The lead time for the lost wax products currently being procured is long, and even when checking the delivery date, there are no accurate answers. It seemed that the purchasing manager was under maximum stress. Additionally, the manufacturing lot is also a source of concern, as they are ordering more than the required amount in a single order for inventory management. *For more details, you can view the blog through the related link.

I will answer 'I had trouble with the overseas engine.' No issues with inch standard keyways!
When replacing engines overseas, a common issue that arises is "non-standard keyway dimensions." Recently, we received an inquiry from an agricultural machinery manufacturer regarding **a keyway machining with a width of 4.76mm, which is an inch standard**. In the prototyping stage, it can be addressed with wire cutting. However, when considering mass production, selecting the appropriate method becomes crucial. Taking into account processing costs, delivery times, and reproducibility, it is necessary to find the optimal solution among broaching, slotting, and wire cutting. In this article, we will introduce how to approach such "special dimension keyways," including key points for selecting processing methods and examples of our responses. *Please note that such responses are just a small part of the efforts that Bandai engages in daily. We invite you to learn more about the value we can provide to our customers.*
Speedy response born from connections. Collaboration among processing companies becomes a strength.
The request for a quote for processed products that include large sizes, strict tolerances, and coatings adds the challenge of time. Although it was initially deemed "difficult to accommodate," this led to the creation of connections between processing companies. Thanks to the prompt communication with another processing company, both the meetings and the quoting process advanced rapidly. This incident reaffirmed the value of a locally rooted processing network. *Such responses are just a small part of the efforts that Bandai engages in daily.

Instead of viewing the estimate as a task, we will act on behalf of the customer!
I previously mentioned that we alleviated the customer's concerns and received an order for neodymium magnets, but when customers request a quote, their expectations are not limited to just stable supply. Furthermore, it is not always the case that customers request quotes only from our company; there are often instances where they reach out to multiple competitors. Therefore, this time I will convey "what is the most important thing to consider when requesting a quote." *You can view the detailed content of the blog through the related link.

Achieving a surface roughness of Ra0.1 with copper. What lies ahead is "technology" and "trust."
Tough pitch copper—this material, which is particularly difficult to process even among pure copper, has seen an increase in prototype requests. The reason lies in the characteristics sought by customers. It is not the high thermal conductivity, but rather the high surface roughness requirements aimed at "light reflectivity." However, this copper is soft, ductile, and prone to copper powder adhering to cutting tools, making the processing conditions extremely strict. When a surface roughness of Ra0.1 is required, meticulous attention is needed to avoid processing deformation and ensure finishing quality. Our company can provide proposals and responses that take into account processing know-how and inspection processes. In fact, we handle it with extremely careful processes, such as separately processing dedicated samples to prevent inspection scratches. If you are struggling with fine processing of pure copper, please feel free to consult us. Our accumulated know-how and "Hometown Processing Network" will surely be of assistance to you. *This type of response is just a small part of the initiatives that Bandai engages in daily.

Processing that can be done with 3 axes, and processing that is difficult without 5 axes. Recognizing that difference requires "understanding of the equipment" and "the eyes of the site."
Have you ever looked at a drawing and thought, "Can't this be processed with machining?" In reality, if you make a mistake in selecting the processing machine, it can have a significant impact on cost and delivery time. In this blog, we will focus on the differences between 3-axis and 5-axis machining centers and discuss the "key points for determining processing methods." For example, consider a shape like a "round groove" on the outer circumference—at first glance, it may seem like machining could handle it, but the "φ" symbol on the drawing indicates dimensions based on lathe processing. It requires the ability to correctly assess the compatibility between the equipment and the shape. How to interpret the constraints of the site that are not visible in the design and the strengths and weaknesses of the machines—this is the first step toward making accurate processing proposals. Understanding the equipment and collaborating with the processing site helps prevent things from going "off the drawing." This content is something we would like not only young professionals but also those in design and technical departments to read! *Such responses are just a small part of the efforts that Bandai engages in daily.

The reason for the low prices lies in the regions. A processing network that supports the front line of price competition.
As you read through the blog, many of you may have wondered, "What is the Hometown Processing Network?" This time, we will answer that question in full and address the simple query, "Why 'hometown'?" In fact, the charges of local processors differ significantly from those in urban areas. Supporting this price difference are capable processors who have major agricultural machinery manufacturers (K Company, Y Company, I Company, M Company) as their clients. They are a "professional group" forged under strict cost demands. Bandai connects directly with these excellent local processors and achieves a balance of high quality and low prices by matching optimal projects. Next time, we will introduce the background of how this network was created! *Such efforts are just a small part of what Bandai does on a daily basis.

What is necessary is not "high hardness," but "high strategy." The way to use the technology of ultra-hard thermal spraying.
The "thermal spraying" technology involves melting metals and ceramics and spraying them onto the surface of a substrate. Among these, carbide thermal spraying offers significant advantages in both cost and processing risk, as it allows for high wear resistance only in the necessary areas. Previously, there was a project where all components made of S45C + carbide were produced entirely from carbide, but in hindsight, I feel that a more rational proposal could have been made using carbide thermal spraying. Due to a lack of knowledge, I was unable to make that suggestion at the time, but I will strive to utilize this learning and present the optimal options next time. *Such responses are just a small part of the efforts that Bandai engages in daily.

Hardness can be rephrased as surface strength, while toughness can be described as strength against impact.
What is lost when something becomes hard? That is toughness. Toughness is like the ductility that a material possesses. When hardness increases, this ductility is compromised. What happens when toughness is compromised? Let’s take diamond, the hardest mineral in the world, as an example. While diamonds are thought to be extremely hard, this is only effective against wear and scratches; they can easily break when subjected to impact, such as from a hammer. This indicates that while diamonds have very high surface hardness, their internal toughness is very low. *For more details, you can view the related links.

High precision, fine, copper material. The moment they are assembled, the difficulty of processing skyrockets.
The request from the customer was for high-precision machining of copper pins, reducing from φ6 to φ2, with M4 tapping included. At first glance, copper may seem like an "easy-to-machine material," but due to its softness and tendency to deform, along with strict tolerances, general lathes cannot handle it, making precision machining with NC lathes essential. However, for extremely small diameters like this, chucking on an NC lathe itself is difficult. A partner who previously processed φ4 SUS material also responded that they could not accommodate this condition. Nevertheless, we did not give up and found a machining company within the "Hometown Processing Network" that has specialized technology for small diameters, successfully leading to an order. Copper material × high precision × extremely small diameter—this project made me realize that a comprehensive knowledge of materials and a strong machining network are necessary to address all these factors. *This kind of response is just a small part of what Bandai does every day.

The sieves used for the classification of fine particles vary in accuracy depending on their structure, so it is necessary to use them selectively according to the purpose.
■ Semtech Engineering's "Super Micro Sieve" is used for "classification" when manufacturing "ultra-high reliability particles" to completely remove trace amounts of coarse particles mixed in the product. ■ The central sieve is made using a similar method, but generally has a thinner plate thickness, so care must be taken to avoid damage during use and to prevent hole diameter enlargement when classifying hard materials. ■ Wire mesh sieves are not suitable for applications requiring high classification accuracy, but they are strong and are commonly used for the production of large sieves. (Note) High-precision sieves are referred to as "Super Micro Sieves," but sieves made using the same manufacturing method may also be called "electroformed sieves."
