We would like to introduce a case where we manufactured a "ventilated batten processing machine." The existing machine used at a house manufacturer (pre-cut factory) had become outdated, necessitating a replacement. The machine lacked rigidity, often stopping unexpectedly. Additionally, chips accumulated between the chains, leading to poor positioning accuracy, and the integrated input and output conveyors made operations cumbersome, requiring separation. After the introduction of the new machine, processing time was reduced thanks to increased rigidity. We installed covers on the LM guides to prevent chip accumulation and made it easier to collect dust with a dust collector. [Case Overview] ■ Issues - The existing machine was outdated, necessitating a replacement. - The machine often stopped due to a lack of rigidity. - Chips accumulated between the chains, resulting in poor positioning accuracy. - The integrated input and output conveyors were cumbersome, requiring separation. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where a "tee-up device" for golf balls was delivered to an indoor golf school.

To prevent bridging in the ball supply section, we implemented anti-bridging measures, and when it seemed that two balls might be supplied, an alarm was triggered to avoid this. Additionally, we made it easy to change controls via PLC. [Case Overview (Partial)] ■ Issues - Measures are needed to prevent the balls from bridging in the ball supply section. - We want to lower the height of the device and increase the protrusion from the floor. - We want to enable tee-up via external signals. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we manufactured a "ceramic processing machine."

Since we were dealing with raw ceramics, the cutting chips were very fine, like sand, necessitating dust prevention measures. We did not require the rigidity of a major machine tool manufacturer, but needed a machine that could process raw ceramics at a low cost. For dust prevention, we installed bellows on the LM guides and ball screws, creating a structure that makes it difficult for cutting powder to enter, and also allowing for the replacement of screws and guides.
