Case Study of 3D Similar Shape Search System Implementation at Nikon Corporation

Adopting similar shape search in the component configuration optimization process! Aiming to improve product development speed and reduce costs.

At Nikon Corporation, we are constantly implementing process reforms to shorten product development periods in order to provide products to users as quickly as possible. To reduce design time and eliminate unnecessary costs, "common design," which involves implementing existing components into new products, is crucial. However, there have been challenges such as "variability in the time and accuracy of finding common components depending on the designer's experience." To address these challenges, we have introduced a similar shape search system called "SS4M." The goal is to improve product development speed by quickly searching for components and rapidly calculating estimated costs based on cost information linked to those components! 【Case Overview】 ■ Background of Implementation (Challenges) - Variability in the time and accuracy of finding common components due to the designer's experience - It takes time to optimize component configurations considering costs ■ Key Factors for Implementation - Ability to search for highly accurate similar components regardless of the shape of the parts - Fast response for operations and displays, making it easy to visually search for components *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Case Study] Transient Flow Analysis of Axial Piston Pumps

By utilizing the PumpLinx simulator for pump transient flow characteristics, smooth flow analysis within axial piston pumps can be conducted.

PumpLinx has mesh templates for various types of pumps. By using templates tailored to the specific pump type being analyzed, the time and effort typically spent on mesh generation for fluid analysis of standard pumps can be significantly reduced and streamlined. For example, even for complex mechanisms like axial piston pumps, optimal meshes for analysis can be quickly and automatically generated based on 3D CAD data by setting parameters such as the number of cylinders. Additionally, the integrated GUI allows for smooth handling of operations such as mesh generation, setting analysis conditions, executing calculations, and displaying results all on a single screen, making the analysis easier and faster. Moreover, in many volumetric pumps, including axial piston pumps, cavitation may occur during the operating cycle. PumpLinx supports cavitation analysis through the adoption of high-precision cavitation models and cavitation damage models.

Product inspection using point cloud 'spGauge' AI improves welding quality.

Significantly improving inspection accuracy and efficiency with AI welding spot inspection.

Conventional welding spot inspections have been conducted using visual confirmation, distance measurements, and contact measuring devices. However, these methods have faced challenges such as long measurement times, variability in results due to the operator, and low detection rates when the indentations are small. Particularly, when the shape reproducibility of 3D scanners is low, automatic detection can become difficult. The "AI Welding Spot Inspection" feature addresses these challenges, enabling simpler and more precise welding spot inspections. By analyzing the curvature gradient images projected onto the weld marks, AI reduces measurement time, improves detection accuracy, and eliminates variability in results caused by human operators, significantly contributing to the efficiency and reliability of welding quality management. **Features of spGauge AI Welding Spot Inspection:** - Achieves a high automatic detection rate even when the indentations of the weld marks are small or when the shape reproducibility of the 3D scanner is low. - Significantly reduces false detections compared to conventional inspection functions. - Supports a series of tasks including automatic pairing with 3D measurement data, automatic detection of positional deviations, and report generation. *For more details, please refer to the page below or feel free to contact us.*
