The "SKS3 (alloy tool steel)" used in this case exhibits excellent hardness and wear resistance through heat treatment (quenching), making it an essential material for jigs, tools, and mold components. However, as hardness increases, the difficulty of machining also rises, especially for block shapes such as 150×50mm, where advanced techniques are required to finish the overall "parallelism" and "flatness" to micron levels while minimizing distortion during processing. Our company utilizes precision cutting know-how to achieve an extremely small dimensional tolerance of ±0.001mm and a remarkably smooth surface roughness of Rz 0.4μm. This overwhelming geometric accuracy fundamentally eliminates any tilt or misalignment of movable parts and measurement units mounted on top, enhancing the overall rigidity and operational stability of the equipment. We also swiftly deliver custom orders starting from "1 piece" required for overhauling existing lines or launching one-off dedicated machines, under strict quality assurance through 100% shipment inspection. 【Case Introduction】 ■Product Name: Block ■Material: SKS3 ■Size: 150×50 ■Lot: 1 piece For detailed machining examples and technical documents, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

In the case of disk-shaped or flange-shaped parts like "Φ60×20," it is strongly required to achieve extremely high "roundness," "flatness," and no deviation in the central axis (concentricity) to prevent play and tilt when incorporated into equipment. Our company fully utilizes years of know-how in turning and milling to consistently achieve strict dimensional tolerances of ±0.001mm and an extremely smooth surface roughness of Rz 0.4μm. This precise finish prevents measurement errors and misalignment during assembly in our customers' automation lines, thereby enhancing the overall reliability of the equipment. For the material, we chose stainless steel "SUS303," which has a good balance of rust resistance and machinability, widely used in FA equipment. This time, we produced only "1 piece" for the test operation and prototyping of a dedicated machine, but leveraging our expertise in custom production, we quickly delivered products that passed rigorous quality inspection. [Case Introduction] ■Product Name: Holder ■Material: SUS303 ■Size: Φ60 × 20 mm ■Lot: 1 piece For detailed processing examples and technical materials, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

If there are slight dimensional variations or surface distortions in the holder components incorporated into the equipment, it can lead to significant misalignment (such as runout) in the detection positions of the tools or sensors at the tip, directly resulting in quality issues on the mass production line. At our company, we utilize our exceptional precision cutting know-how to achieve stringent dimensional tolerances of ±0.001mm and an extremely smooth surface roughness of Rz 0.4μm. We provide dedicated components that can securely hold the target object at accurate angles and positions without any wobble, contributing to the high precision of our customers' equipment. For the material, we use stainless steel "SUS303," which has an excellent balance of rust resistance and machinability, widely adopted in factory automation (FA) environments. This time, we received an order for a small lot of "3 pieces" due to the renovation and update of existing equipment. Leveraging our production system specialized in custom processing of single items and small quantities, we delivered the products quickly with quality assurance through 100% inspection. 【Case Study】 ■Product Name: Holder ■Material: SUS303 ■Size: 40 × 10 mm ■Lot: 3 pieces For detailed processing examples and technical documents, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

In this case, parts with elongated shapes such as "diameter 2mm, length 50mm (Φ2×50)" are prone to material displacement or bending due to the pressure of the cutting tool during machining, making it very difficult to maintain micron-level precision uniformly. However, our company ensures that even these high-difficulty slender parts achieve strict dimensional tolerances of ±0.001mm and a smooth surface roughness of Rz 0.4μm, thanks to our advanced cutting know-how accumulated over many years and optimal processing approaches. This technology helps prevent play and positional misalignment in our customers' manufacturing lines, contributing to high-precision assembly. For the material, we use stainless steel "SUS303," which excels in the balance between rust resistance and machinability. Even for small lot requests of "5 pieces," which are required for maintenance of dedicated equipment or spot tooling production, we deliver quickly under a reliable quality assurance system with 100% inspection. [Case Introduction] ■ Product Name: Pin ■ Material: SUS303 (Stainless Steel) ■ Size: Φ2 × 50 mm ■ Lot: 5 pieces For detailed processing examples and technical documents, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
