ナミテイ List of Products and Services

In order to mass-produce copper components implemented in the base, we propose improvements in "material yield," "reduction of mold costs," "quality stability," and "productivity enhancement" by processing special-shaped wire as the material. (1) Improvement of material yield - In the pressing process, scrap is generated around the product, but by processing special-shaped wire as the material, it is possible to significantly reduce scrap. (2) No need for progressive molds as parts can be mass-produced through cutting and bending processes - If short-length cuts are used, cutting blades can be employed, and for bending, processing can be done with bending jigs, thus reducing initial investments such as progressive molds. (3) Quality stability - Continuous processing of already precisely finished special-shaped wire alleviates variations in each shot. (4) Productivity enhancement - By using long special-shaped wire (500-1,000 kg) as the material, continuous productivity is improved. *Regarding the processing steps for components combined with special-shaped wire (cutting, pressing, forming, bending), we would like to determine this through discussions with the customer, our company, or partners. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

• Engine parts

By using "near-net shape" irregular coils that are pre-processed into shapes close to the final product, rather than using general materials like circles, squares, or hexagons, production can be carried out continuously. This enables a reduction in processing steps and allows for labor-saving and efficiency improvements, leading to a more efficient and smarter way of working.

• Steel

At Namitei, we propose product specifications that match our processing characteristics while leveraging the applications and functions of our products, aiming for cost-effective manufacturing. Please feel free to consult us from the design stage. When producing parts like those shown in the diagram from expensive materials such as heat-resistant stainless steel or titanium, there was a problem where approximately 80% material loss occurred due to punching from standard sheet materials. In response, we proposed "creating flat coil components from irregular wire." We manufactured flat coil components from trapezoidal irregular wire with a thick outer side. After processing, the cross-section deformed flat with the outer diameter side stretching. If the specifications of the assumed case are followed, an improvement in yield of about 50% can be expected. [Assumed case using alloy titanium material] ■ Ring component: Thickness 3mm × Diameter 280mm ■ Sheet material: Thickness 3mm × 300mm × 300mm ■ Material mass 1.2kg (specific gravity 7.9) ■ Material loss = 1.0kg *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

General enamel wire (round cross-section) has a filling factor of about 40%, and flat wire has a filling factor of 50-60%. However, ultra-deformed wire has been developed to achieve over 80%. By gradually changing the thickness and width of the flat cross-section without altering the cross-sectional area, it is a special shaped wire that changes its cross-sectional shape along its length. When this wire is wound onto a stator core, a tapered stator coil is completed. When this stator coil is placed in a motor, it fills the gaps between the stator cores, making it possible to achieve a high filling factor. It is also possible to reduce the gaps between the stator coils and apply it to miniaturization, depending on the design. This is a new magnet wire that contributes to the development of high-performance motors with high output, high efficiency, compact size, and lightweight! ● For winding processing, initial samples are available. *Depends on coil specifications. ● For insulation coating, initial samples are available. *Depends on coating specifications. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

An article about our "Optical Fiber Protection Specialty Wire for Undersea Cables" has been published in the Industrial Economic Newspaper! In the midst of the recession known as "Iron Cold" in 1984, when our company was still called "Naniwa Seikui," we received an order from a steel trading company in Tokyo requesting, "Please make a fan-shaped specialty wire by splitting a pipe into three vertically." A few days later, President Murao was surprised when he saw the drawings that arrived. It was the first order for a fan-shaped iron wire, and on top of that, they requested a tolerance of within plus or minus five thousandths of a millimeter. At that time in the industry, a tolerance of about one-tenth of a millimeter was the norm, and they were demanding an unprecedented level of precision, with a length of 1000 meters as well. The delivery date was specified for just two weeks later. * The full text is available at the link below. * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Namitei specializes in the production of shaped coil wire using coil wire materials, and has produced a large number of shaped wires for automotive parts as well as for plants and civil engineering. Recently, in the automotive industry, "weight reduction" has become an important improvement theme as the industry moves towards electrification due to environmental issues. In this context, our company is working on the development of hollow shaped wires using pipe coil materials. Although the material costs increase by switching to pipe coil materials, the weight reduction offsets this increase, resulting in cases where we have successfully achieved weight reduction at nearly the same price depending on the specifications. Additionally, beyond weight reduction, products have also been commercialized using shaped core materials for lance (cutting rods).
