• Inspection fixture

We received a consultation from a customer stating that "with ceramic plates, processing is difficult, the degree of freedom in shape is low, and dimension control is challenging, resulting in significantly longer processing times." In response, we proposed a transition to metal 3D printing and a change of material to Invar, which has properties similar to ceramics. Metal 3D printing is characterized by its very high degree of freedom in shape, allowing for the processing of complex shapes like this product without difficulty. Furthermore, we replaced the material with Invar, which has a thermal expansion coefficient about one-tenth that of iron, and incorporated heat dissipation pins to enhance functionality. Togane Metal Industry Co., Ltd., which operates this site, actively proposes the transition from existing methods to metal 3D printing, providing various benefits to customers, including reduced lead times, enhanced functionality, and the realization of complex shapes, as well as lightweighting and process consolidation. We have numerous achievements not only with AlSi10Mg, SUS316L, and maraging steel but also with the shaping of special materials such as Invar and iron-based and copper-based materials. If you are struggling with processing times or shape constraints of ceramics, or if you are considering a transition to metal 3D printing, please feel free to consult with us.

• Other machine elements

A customer approached us with the request, "Can we utilize the high degree of design freedom of metal 3D printers to improve the heat dissipation of heat sinks?" In response, we began discussions with the customer from the design stage and achieved high functionality by integrating heat dissipation fins and cooling pipes. Due to the complex structure, the difficulty of fabrication is very high, and normally, successful fabrication would require effective use of supports. However, we were able to realize this through our know-how and technical capabilities. Togane Metal Industry Co., Ltd. actively proposes the transition from existing manufacturing methods to metal 3D printing, providing various benefits to customers, including the realization of complex shapes and high functionality, as well as reduced lead times, weight reduction, and process consolidation, as seen in this case. We have numerous achievements not only with AlSi10Mg, SUS316L, and maraging steel but also with special materials such as Invar and iron-based and copper-based alloys. If you are struggling with shape constraints of existing manufacturing methods or considering a transition to metal 3D printing, please feel free to consult with us.

• Heat exchanger

Initially, there were three products, but we proposed cost reduction through component integration and manufactured them. Since our proposal was adopted and the products were manufactured and delivered, it has been over 15 years, and the integrated structure is still being used at the customer's site.

• Other semiconductor manufacturing equipment

The tire testing machine is a testing device that verifies the durability of tires by running them on an outer circumference modeled after a road. Since the tests are conducted at up to 700 revolutions per minute, any runout tolerance can be extremely dangerous. Therefore, very high precision is required in the machining of the testing machine. Our company has performed canning machining while considering runout during assembly, achieving a runout precision within 0.03mm. Additionally, it was necessary to apply electroless nickel plating to the outer diameter of φ3200mm, which is typically difficult for surface treatment processes, but we cleared the required specifications through collaboration with partner companies. Togane Metal Industry can achieve high precision in large products like this one and in surface treatment processes that are usually challenging, thanks to our own technology and collaboration with partner companies.

• Other inspection equipment and devices

This inclined platform frame was requested by the customer, who stated, "It is difficult for us to process large and inclined products, so we would like to ask for your help."
