Flow of Our Custom Development ■ Design and Drawing Creation Please consult us from the early stages of design. We will support you in creating a product design with high cost performance while proposing shapes unique to press parts. ■ Prototype Consideration We can create prototypes using processing methods tailored to the quantity. We will propose appropriate surface treatments along with processing methods such as wire cutting, single-action molds, and etching, including molding. ■ Mass Production Consideration From the design and production of mass production molds to the management of secondary processing, we provide robust support to meet our customers' needs. We can also offer comparisons with production at our bases in China and Thailand. ■ Mass Production Management We have obtained ISO certification at our bases in three countries. We will support mass production with a quality management system compliant with ISO standards. As stated above, if you consult with us, we can provide one-stop support from the early stages of development to mass production. Please feel free to reach out to us.

In "Insert Connector Press Processing," we process connector terminals and busbars for insert molding. We have a wide range of achievements for automotive and power module applications. Utilizing precision mold technology, we can manage a removal accuracy of ±0.02 or less. We are also open to discussing even stricter requirements. If needed, we can accommodate up to insert molding. 【Features】 ■ Prototyping is possible ■ Capable of handling insert molding ■ Mass production sources can be established in Japan, China, and Thailand ■ Size is approximately 80mm x 50mm in expansion length *For more details, please refer to the catalog. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

• Processing Contract
• Press Dies

We manufacture prototype small motor leaf springs and washers based on consultations. We can also accommodate large quantities, producing over 2.5 million units per month at high speed, which allows for cost reduction. For leaf springs, we have a dedicated load gauge, enabling load management during mass production. Washers can be surface-treated through barrel processing to control according to the required torque. [Features] ■ Load management possible during mass production ■ Consultation available from prototype stage *For more details, please refer to the catalog. Feel free to contact us.

• Circuit board processing machine

"Press processing of copper-clad ceramic substrate circuit materials" uses silicon nitride to punch out the circuit side of copper-clad ceramic substrates using an oil-free press. By using an oil-free press, we eliminated the subsequent cleaning process, dramatically improving quality. The oil-free press also maintains production efficiency, capable of producing over 2 million units per month. [Features] - Small lot production available - Quality improvement (defect rate below 0.8% based on copper-clad substrate appearance standards) *For more details, please refer to the catalog. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.
