We would like to introduce a case where we proposed measures to address wear on transport pallets due to material changes and assembly. We received an inquiry from an automotive parts manufacturer regarding wear on the bottom of pallets in their production line, which resulted in wear debris adhering to the workpiece tips. In response, we proposed several types of materials that matched the customer's requirements and created comparison materials for each type. The wear area was addressed by changing the material, eliminating foreign matter adhesion. By making it an assembly type, the outer part of the pallet can be used permanently, significantly reducing costs. 【Case Overview】 ■ Issues - Change to a material that is less prone to wear than the current material - Suppress foreign matter adhesion to the workpiece ■ Effects - The wear area was resolved by changing the material, eliminating foreign matter adhesion - Only the worn top plate and board can be replaced on-site, making pallet replacement easy *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where the lifespan of dressers was extended by utilizing high-quality single crystal diamonds from a grinding wheel manufacturer.

This resolved the entanglement issue, resulting in zero chocolate stops. [Case Summary] ■ Issues - Thorough investigation and resolution of the cause of brush entanglement - Standardization of bristle arrangement and outer dimensions, extension of replacement intervals ■ Effects - Replacement intervals extended by 250%, reducing running costs - Management of outer dimensions and bristle arrangement has enabled long-term quality stability *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where the decrease in operating rate in the automatic measurement process was improved. In the automatic measurement process using a three-dimensional measuring machine, the operating rate of the machine decreased due to unnoticed equipment errors. We proposed an improvement using a wristwatch-type receiver to notify the operators of signals for "start and end of measurement" and "error occurrence." [Case Overview] ■ Issues - Operators in remote locations need to be immediately aware of "measurement completion" and "error occurrence." - Improvement of the operating rate of the three-dimensional measuring machine. ■ Effects - Reduced downtime of the three-dimensional measuring machine, significantly improving the operating rate. - Reduced unnecessary movement to check the operating status of the three-dimensional measuring machine. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we achieved a 30-fold extension of the lifespan of end-face grinding wheels compared to conventional methods. In the end-face processing of automotive engine parts, CBN resin bond was traditionally used, but there were challenges due to its short lifespan and the considerable effort required for replacement setup. Therefore, we proposed changing from CBN resin bond to CBN soft metal bond. The results exceeded our goals significantly, to the extent that the customer themselves suggested a price increase. [Case Summary] ■Challenges - Reduction of the effort required for wheel replacement - Reduction of running costs ■Effects - Achieved approximately 30 times the lifespan compared to conventional methods - The results exceeded our goals significantly, prompting the customer to suggest a price increase themselves. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we dramatically reduced the running costs of pallets. In an automotive parts production site, there was a problem where the transport pallets were worn out, causing a loss of positional accuracy and resulting in downtime. To address this, we improved the design to allow for the replacement of only the worn areas, extending the lifespan of the pallet itself. The worn parts can now be easily replaced on-site, resulting in zero downtime. 【Case Overview】 ■ Challenges - Extending the lifespan of transport pallets - Reducing the replacement costs of worn pallet bodies ■ Effects - New production cost @40,000 → Replacement type @10,000, achieving a 1/4 cost reduction - Material change from HPM1 to carbide, increasing lifespan by four times *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we achieved the elimination of molded grinding stones for diamond dressers at our company. Due to the instability of the dresser's precision, we were using general grinding stones to shape the dresser itself, which is usually unnecessary and incurs wasted costs. By enhancing the precision of the diamond tip radius and the fixed angle of the diamond, as well as improving the regularity of the diamond arrangement, we improved the quality of the dresser. [Case Overview] ■Challenges - Reduction of the shaping process for the dresser itself - Reduction of dressing frequency ■Effects - Reduced the shaping process for the dresser itself - Shortened the dressing shaping after replacement to 350 times *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we proposed a two-layer structure for the chuck rubber lining. In the customer's production line equipment, the rubber at the tip of the chuck was worn down over time, exposing the metal and causing scratches on the workpiece. With our unique idea of implementing a two-layer rubber structure, we were able to resolve this ongoing issue all at once. Since we can design in-house, we can propose a review of the chuck's structure. [Case Overview] ■Challenges - Visualization of the wear condition of the tip rubber - Standardization of replacement timing ■Effects - By making the wear condition easier to understand, we achieved zero scratches on the workpiece - By standardizing the replacement timing, early replacements were eliminated, resulting in reduced running costs *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where an electronic display device linked to the status of a transport cart was installed. There were concerns that it was difficult to understand the direction of travel and the work situation when the transport cart was in operation, and that safety was not ensured during third-party passage. We proposed the installation of an electronic display device on existing carts. The specifications allow for the status of the transport cart to be easily understood from a distance, not only indicating the direction of travel but also showing the condition during transport and loading. This greatly contributed to ensuring safety within the factory, and the feedback was very positive. [Challenges] ■ We want to make it clear what condition the transport cart is in, even from a distance. ■ We want to clarify the direction of travel to ensure safety within the facility. ■ We want to improve while keeping costs as low as possible. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Here is a case study introducing a proposal for reusing chucks through laser cladding. The chuck jaws wore out within two months, leading to frequent stoppages. This resulted in increased replacement labor and decreased operating rates, creating various issues. Additionally, due to the high cost of the parts needed to create new jaws, production costs became prohibitively expensive, making it difficult to implement improvements. By using a highly wear-resistant cladding material, we extended the lifespan of the chucks, which led to reduced maintenance costs and increased operating rates. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges - Reduction of replacement labor through extended lifespan and increased operating rates - Reduction of running costs ■ Key Points - Laser cladding allows for high functionality only in the used areas, making it cost-effective - Near-net shape cladding reduces post-processing costs *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we proposed improvements and installation for cleaning brushes. Dust generated from the workpieces accumulated on the transport pallets, causing them to stick to other workpieces and leading to production delays.
