ヤマダソリューションオフィス List of Products and Services

Recent robots have become inexpensive and highly functional, making the design of mechanisms easier, which may have led to a decrease in the number of cam mechanism design engineers. However, cam mechanism devices are still actively used in the field, and there are still challenges such as overhauling equipment, increasing takt time, and improving stroke changes due to product switching. At Yamada Solution Office, we support cam design and cam mechanism devices. If you have any issues with cam mechanisms, we will provide optimal improvement proposals along with maintenance guidance. Please feel free to consult with us. 【Cam Design and Cam Mechanism Devices】 ■ Cam Design Before mechanism design, timing chart design is an important element. To achieve faster and smoother operation, it is necessary to consider the optimization of acceleration and cam pressure angles. ■ Cam Mechanism Devices They allow for reproducibility and flexibility of movement, contributing to high-speed and high-precision repetitive operations. Additionally, they have an advantage in narrow spaces compared to robotic mechanisms, making it highly likely to add functionality to existing equipment. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Pre-calculating the equipment cycle time in new equipment development is very important. Recently, production equipment has become more complex, often involving numerous robots to handle small quantities of various products. The complex movements that are difficult to express through traditional timing charts can be accurately analyzed using 3D software for motion simulation, making it easier to understand for those involved in equipment development, as well as clearly identifying interferences between units. As a result, optimizing robot selection becomes possible, allowing for the avoidance of risks during equipment startup and contributing to a reduction in equipment development lead time. ★ A simulation video using an 11-axis robot is available. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We provide consulting services for proposing and realizing optimal production systems, taking into account all elements related to manufacturing, such as equipment, materials, personnel, and environment. Electronic components are very small within production equipment, and due to the need for precision and low unit costs, manufacturing costs are determined by equipment costs, material costs, and labor costs. If processing capacity slows down, equipment costs will increase. We would like to introduce a case study of consulting for process improvement at a major electronic component manufacturer, where we aimed to improve processing capacity without compromising quality. [Challenge] When planning manufacturing costs, processing capacity was reduced to maintain quality, and the challenge was to raise processing capacity to the planned value. [Improvement Proposal] By increasing the overlap of actuator operations, we shortened product transfer time and raised processing capacity to the planned value. [Result] We were able to increase processing capacity by 10% to a maximum of 20%, which reduced equipment costs (manufacturing costs) and was greatly appreciated. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company selects suitable production methods for each process according to the characteristics of the products we manufacture (such as price, production volume, lifecycle, and order form) and supports the proposal and realization of an efficient manufacturing flow. We design and manufacture jigs for research and development as well as for evaluating production methods, primarily focusing on production equipment for electronic components. 【Case Study】 We were processing products with varying thicknesses, but as the thickness changed, the vacuum space also changed, necessitating sealing with gaskets to maintain the vacuum state. We were looking for a device that could quickly absorb the height of the product and achieve sealing. Since our company also develops the pressing process for electronic components, we proposed a high-thrust vacuum press device. ■ Main Features - Pressing capacity: 80 tons - Achievable vacuum level: -98.0 kPa - Heating temperature: Room temperature to 200℃ - Effective pressing size: 250 mm x 250 mm - Press stroke: 42 mm - As it is a servo press, the pressing position and process can be freely set - The two-column press device allows for easy docking with other equipment processes * An automatic product supply device for the pressing section can also be added as an option.

● Until now, there have been many cases of expanding production bases overseas to reduce production costs, but in recent years, even overseas bases have seen rising labor costs, making it difficult to differentiate from competitors. The characteristics of production systems overseas have often involved methods that focus on automation specialized for processing points (tasks that cannot be done by human hands) to keep investment costs down. As a result, there are challenges such as the following: 1. The flow of goods is not easily visible (not streamlined) 2. There is variability in capacity at each process (high in-process inventory) 3. There is unnecessary logistics between processes, leading to an increase in personnel 4. Due to the high involvement of people, responses to variations in operating rates and quality are delayed Our company has a track record of reducing personnel, shortening lead times, and improving quality by streamlining the flow of goods while effectively utilizing existing production equipment. If you are facing difficulties after expanding overseas, we would be happy to provide proposals for specific problem-solving, so please feel free to consult with us.
