[Magazine Contribution] November Issue of Press Technology: Cover Interview: Leaders of Manufacturing Innovation Featured

Introducing different approaches aimed at achieving assembly results in press forming engineering!

We will demonstrate, using practical examples, how considering the results of the hemming process in advance during the design of the press forming process can minimize the risk of costly redesigns by incorporating those results into the design.

The digital process twin centered on AutoForm's press die forming analysis has achieved a reduction in development man-hours.

The environment for automobile development is changing more significantly than ever due to societal changes such as electric vehicles and autonomous driving, leading to an increased demand for timely development of products that meet market needs and for reducing labor costs. We will introduce the digital examination method using the digital process twin recommended by AutoForm.

We received many requests for assembly and wiping in a clean environment, so we introduced a clean booth. We can accommodate anything of a certain size within it. If you have any inquiries about what we can or cannot do, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you very much for your continued support. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but we will be closed for the Golden Week holiday during the following period: May 2, 2026 (Saturday) to May 6, 2026 (Wednesday) We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

In production sites, maintaining equipment performance, uptime, and improving maintainability have become important challenges. This is especially true for vacuum systems, where downtime and labor hours during maintenance significantly impact productivity and costs. Piab's new Quick Connect Module expands the capabilities of the piCOMPACT 10X and piCOMPACT 10X SMART, providing a solution that enhances installation and maintenance efficiency while maximizing uptime. This module consolidates multiple single-channel ejectors onto a common module, enabling a flexible multi-channel configuration. Each channel can be individually attached and detached, eliminating the need to stop the entire system during maintenance, thereby minimizing downtime.
