Proposing a shape that ensures functionality without increasing man-hours! A case where a smooth transition to mass production was achieved.
We received a consultation from the manufacturer regarding the improvement of safety during assembly work, and we would like to introduce a case where we changed the shape of the counterbore hole to prevent tearing.
In a flange-shaped part, the counterbore hole for the fixing bolt interfered with the center hole and became dangerously thin and knife-like, raising concerns about deformation and other issues.
We modified the counterbore hole for the fixing bolt by cutting it into a U-shape towards the center hole, ensuring that no thin, knife-like edges remained.
[Case Overview]

■ Result: The counterbore hole for the fixing bolt was cut into a U-shape towards the center hole, eliminating any thin, knife-like edges.
