Precision press processing: from flat plates to spherical processing.
Reduction of parts count and process reduction
[ Challenges of Conventional Technology ] To process a sphere from a flat sheet, an opening is necessary somewhere, making it impossible to form using other methods, including pressing. Therefore, a process of combining and welding two hemispherical parts was required. [ Solutions Achieved by JKB ] Successfully manufactured a completely sealed hollow sphere from a single flat sheet using pressing. This made it possible to reduce the number of parts by half and eliminate the assembly and welding process of two components.
