I was involved in the production of the "touchable" model of Kencho-ji Temple in Kamakura City.

You can create it from just one piece, with a minimum of one piece and a shortest lead time of one week for mold-less casting.

When you need prototype parts due to repeated design changes during development, when there is no stock of parts and you need a quick fix, or when you suddenly want original jigs for on-site work... Isn't there a limited and fixed mindset regarding the ordering sources and manufacturing methods when the required quantity is small? Considering costs and delivery times, options like mold production for repeat mass production or casting methods for metal products are not feasible, right? Therefore, if needed, we propose mold-less casting with our catchphrase "Just make one if you need it." With no need for molds and zero mold costs, we have a delivery record of as short as one week, and we can custom-make cast products starting from just one piece. Since the original form is a 3D printed item, we can accommodate complex shapes and hollow products that cannot be manufactured with molds. Our services are utilized across numerous industries, including aerospace, marine, automotive, precision instruments, industrial equipment, medical, and construction, catering to requests for metal parts from both corporations and individual customers.

Impeller and turbine parts also available for short delivery times!

Achieving short delivery times with the "Digital Cast" method, which uses models created by a 3D printer for casting! For large parts with a diameter of φ380, traditional mold production required 1 to 2 months, but with the Digital Cast method, cast products can be made without molds starting from just one piece, resulting in significant improvements in delivery times. Additionally, we can accommodate special materials such as heat-resistant steel and duralumin. *The product in the photo is SCS13. 【What is Digital Cast?】 When considering costs and delivery times, traditional casting methods that require mold production for mass production are not a viable option.

The time for celebration has come! The new production hall has started operations! While finishing work continues in other parts of the building, metal shavings are already being produced in the first machining center. Last Friday afternoon, employees and their families, along with companies involved in the construction, gathered to celebrate the achievements so far. Cold drinks, hot barbecue, and an ice cream stand were provided. During the celebration, many employees had the opportunity to tour the entire new building for the first time. Visitors were introduced to the new machines and improved logistics through guided tours of the production area. The new training room, the training center on the upper floor, and the latest conference room for customers were also unveiled. With this new building, Volkmann GmbH has secured an additional 4,500 square meters of production space. This expansion was very important, as the existing hall had already reached its limits due to the company's ongoing growth and increased production volume.

▶Issue: Before further processing the powder in the next stage (such as packaging machines), it is necessary to inspect for the presence of metal foreign objects using a metal detector. To achieve high sensitivity, the powder needs to be inspected through free fall, but due to low ceiling height and operational inconvenience, it is not possible to install the metal detector in the next stage. ▶Solution: The CEIA metal detector will be installed under a Volkmann vacuum conveyor and on a Volkmann mobile lift. The height-adjustable lift will allow the product discharge outlet of the metal detector to be adjusted to the appropriate height for the mobile container. Additionally, the vacuum conveyor can be lowered to a height that allows the mobile lift to pass through doors. The powder will be transported, for example, from an IBC container to the mobile lift and then to the metal detector via vacuum transfer. Metal foreign objects will be sorted and collected in a separate bottle. The inspected powder will be collected in a mobile container. Another vacuum conveyor is installed for the next stage, such as the packaging machine, from which the powder will be drawn from this container. Inspection and separation of metal parts can be conducted very close to the next stage, and it is also possible in more distant production areas.

The video shows that there is a tank at the bottom of the vacuum conveyor, and steam is constantly being released (in a simulated manner). If no measures are taken, the steam will enter the inside of the vacuum conveyor, condense into water droplets, and cause powder adhesion. Both our company and our customers have been troubled by such installations. This time, with the special module jointly developed with Minato Engineering Co., Ltd., we have succeeded in blocking the rising steam. From around the middle of the video, you can see that this function is turned on. You should be able to understand that the steam that was previously rising has disappeared. As a result, it has become possible to install equipment in a steam atmosphere, which was previously difficult to do, with peace of mind.
