[Case Study] Extension of Lifespan through PCD Technology (High Hardness Components Business)

Significantly reduce setup time due to parts deterioration! We provide support from current situation analysis and issue identification to solution proposals, parts supply, and effectiveness measurement.

【Performance Introduction】 ○Part Name: Centerless Blade ○Device Name: Centerless Grinding Machine ○Application: Used for processed products (sintered PCD / φ0.8×21L) at our company ■Introduction (From the Field) We received a consultation from our manufacturing department regarding measures to improve equipment utilization rates in the bottleneck process and reduce setup changeover times. ■Current Situation Analysis In the relevant process, a carbide blade was used on the centerless grinding machine, resulting in a setup changeover task occurring once a day for one hour due to wear. Additionally, the worn parts were being discarded. ■Issue Identification and Proposal To reduce the setup changeover time for blade replacement, we proposed a PCD blade with high wear resistance. While other companies were unable to produce PCD blades with a thickness of less than 1mm without warping, our high-hardness component business achieved a quality that does not warp. ■Implementation and Effects The setup changeover task that occurred once a day was reduced to once every ten days. We achieved a reduction of 18 hours in labor and 18 discarded blades over the course of a month!
