[Introduction of Case Studies on Problem Solving] Current Fit → Clearance Setting Improvement of Maintenance for Automotive Component Cutting Molds

We will introduce a case that solved the customer's issue of poor maintenance of molds used for current matching production!

Our company utilizes the precision mold processing technology cultivated in the manufacturing of precision molds for semiconductors to design and manufacture molds that can maintain a certain level of accuracy even when punches and dies are replaced as consumables. For molds in fields other than semiconductors, we can also provide proposals based on the know-how gained in the semiconductor industry, so if you have any issues with molds, please feel free to contact us. This time, we would like to introduce a case where we solved a customer's problem regarding a mold with poor maintainability due to its current matching production. 【Problem】 Poor maintainability of molds produced with current matching - In molds produced with current matching for punches and dies, even if one wants to replace either the punch or the die, they must purchase both the punch and die as a set. - It sometimes requires sending the entire mold set back to the mold manufacturer for punch and die replacement, making maintenance at the customer's site difficult. 【Solution】 Improved maintainability through appropriate clearance design + precision processing technology - By providing clearance for the punch and die and finishing them with micron-level precision, it became possible to replace them at the customer's site without current matching when either the punch or die wears out.

• Mold Design
• Processing Contract

Leave the processing of micron-level work to us!

We would like to outsource because it is difficult to achieve the required precision in-house. We do not have enough manufacturing capacity for parts processing. Do you have such concerns? With our core technology in precision mold processing, we can handle the machining of precision parts specified by your company.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

In the field of collaborative robots, there is a demand for reduced startup labor, energy efficiency, and safe yet flexible handling performance. In particular, reliance on compressed air systems and complex wiring and piping can pose challenges during installation and operation. Piab's "piCOBOT Electric for ABB GoFa" is a plug-and-play electric vacuum gripper solution optimized specifically for ABB GoFa. Its all-electric design generates vacuum using only electricity, eliminating the need for compressed air. This enables the creation of a clean, quiet, and energy-efficient collaborative robot cell. Furthermore, by adopting ABB GoFa-specific software plugins, designated cables, and standard ISO machine interfaces, smooth integration into the ABB control environment is possible. This supports rapid startup and stable operation. Read the article here: https://www.piab.com/ja-jp/news/piab-launches-picobot-electric-for-abb-gofa

We have added the DL material "Explained in Manga! Let's Prevent Technical Information Leakage to the Outside with CrackProof Software Protection!" to the DNP Hypertech site. In the manufacturing industry, there is a growing awareness of measures against the leakage of technical information. Many companies seem to have already established sufficient rules and measures for information protection when exchanging data with external parties. However, when it comes to cases where in-house software suffers from cracking (unauthorized analysis and tampering) and information leaks occur, the current measures are still not adequate. We have explained the measures against technical information leakage through software protection in an easy-to-understand manga format. Please take a look.
