Edge Creators Product Lineup

Edge Creators Inc. is a company that contributes to solving challenges in manufacturing for various industries, centered around casting technology, with advanced skills and extensive experience. We handle all processes from hearing to consulting in a comprehensive manner. In the field of casting, we can provide consistent support from molten metal quality analysis to product analysis, achieving problem-solving that takes an overarching view of the entire casting process. 【Service Contents】 ■ Data collection for understanding the current situation on-site ■ Development, experimentation, evaluation, and visualization ■ Original evaluation equipment ■ Extensive experimental database ■ Consulting and support ■ Release agent evaluation ■ Chip lubricant evaluation ■ Melt loss testing ■ Visualization of flow using water models *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• Casting Machine

We conduct "erosion tests" at our company. As a general evaluation method, we immerse test pieces in molten metal and rotate them for several hours to compare the amount of erosion. Our evaluations primarily use aluminum alloys. We can also provide suggestions on treatment methods (surface coating, heat treatment, shot blasting) and coating types (application methods, types, thickness). 【Examples of Consultation Requests】 ■ Having trouble with erosion countermeasures for ladles in the die-casting manufacturing process ■ Want to know the changes in erosion amount when changing materials ■ Want to evaluate coating performance ■ Want to evaluate surface treatments and coatings for erosion countermeasures *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a successful case of developing the "Gorilla Ladle," which enables high-speed pouring and contributes to cycle reduction, molten metal quality and temperature, and energy cost reduction. We have achieved effects such as cycle reduction through high-speed pouring, measures against sleeve melting, and countermeasures for break chill. We can create prototype shapes tailored to our customers' needs. We also respond to inquiries regarding ladle materials, operation, coating, and molten metal quality. 【Effects】 ■ Cycle reduction through high-speed pouring ■ Suppression of molten metal temperature drop / Ability to lower the holding temperature of molten metal in the holding furnace / Energy cost reduction ■ Measures against sleeve melting ■ Countermeasures for break chill ■ Streamlining effect after pouring molten metal into the sleeve ■ Prevention of spillage after pouring into the sleeve *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We conduct "release agent extraction tests" at our company. We can propose various evaluations related to casting, not only for release agents but also for lubricants, coating agents, product quality (melt quality, surface defects, flow of molten metal, casting defects), overflow, equipment damage, and ejector pins (surface treatment, draft angle, cooling), among others. Additionally, we can accommodate experimental evaluations, verifications, and data collection (on-site, offline). 【Flow of Evaluation】 1. Contact our company 2. Discuss evaluation specifications (via web, email, phone, in-person, etc.) 3. Submit a quotation from our company 4. Place an order, adjust the schedule (with on-site presence if necessary), conduct evaluation, and submit a report *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We conduct a series of functional evaluations of plunger tip lubricants. We quantify and select the necessary characteristics to efficiently fulfill the role of the lubricant, and we can also propose solutions for any issues. We also evaluate lubricants other than tip lubricants. Please feel free to contact us if you have any requests. 【Challenges in Lubricant Use】 ■ Gas pockets from lubricants (product quality) ■ Fires due to ignition ■ Deterioration of the working environment due to splatter and emitted gases ■ Costs ■ Capital investment for stable supply *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where our company developed the "HANICAMU" garden kit structure as part of the co-creation innovation project in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. Using natural phenomena, we developed an ideal water supply system. Challenges such as stabilizing water supply through visualization of water volume and achieving this with fewer parts than existing products have been resolved. Additionally, after the harvest period for leafy vegetables, we successfully cultivated shiitake mushrooms in the second phase. 【Challenges Addressed (Partial)】 ■ Necessary for differentiation / Collaboration with designers from the development stage ■ Stabilizing supply by achieving visualization ■ Stabilizing water supply through visualization of water volume ■ Achieving with fewer parts than existing products ■ Meeting mechanisms and structures solely through natural phenomena without complex devices or power sources *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company conducts evaluations, experiments, and research within our own factory. Using original equipment in our factory, we can measure data, evaluate performance, and conduct evaluations and experiments on items we want to visualize. With the speed and proposal-based measurements and evaluations that only a private research facility can provide, we measure the "data" that our customers truly want to know. 【Business Content】 ■ Investigation/measurement/visualization of manufacturing process defects ■ Evaluation/experiment work/analysis and report submission within our factory ■ Countermeasures for defects at customer sites/investigation of causes/addressing concerns/solving issues ■ Product manufacturing and equipment production ■ Support for development operations, etc. ■ Reverse engineering *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company conducts investigation, measurement, and visualization of defects in the manufacturing process. We investigate various defects occurring on the manufacturing site in person. We measure the understanding of phenomena, the frequency of problems, and losses, and visualize the current phenomena based on the acquired data. Furthermore, we can propose improvements and contribute to the reduction of losses if the current issues are resolved. 【Business Activities】 ■ Investigation/measurement/visualization of defects in the manufacturing process ■ Evaluation/experimental work/report submission within our factory ■ Countermeasures for defects at client sites/investigation of causes/addressing concerns/solving issues ■ Product and equipment manufacturing ■ Support for development operations, etc. ■ Reverse engineering *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
