Invitation to Exhibit at the Metal Forming Machinery Exhibition MF-TOKYO 2025

Live demonstration at MF-TOKYO 2025 [Video now available] Capable of processing internal threads and bag nuts with overwhelming productivity.

A tapping machine that uses cutting or rolling taps to process internal threads. It was developed by HS-ASPE, a subsidiary of the Italian global parts former manufacturer SACMA, as a secondary processing machine for cold forged products. Due to its reversible spindle design, it can accommodate a wide range of workpieces, including through nuts and blind nuts. It boasts a very high production capacity, capable of processing 200 workpieces per minute for M2-M12 threads in the T10-HC model. Exhibition Information: At MF-TOKYO 2025, the HS ASPE tapping machine model "T10-S" will be on display. In our booth, we will also introduce a compound 5-stage former that can perform cold forming and external thread rolling in one cycle, as well as a flat die thread rolling machine.

SACMA Group's "Cold Former," a productivity-enhancing solution that the world can be proud of.

SACMA has chosen to produce all components in-house, aiming to improve the total quality of production across the entire SACMA group. To achieve this, they are introducing the most modern and advanced production equipment available in the current market. Before stocking all products in the warehouse, they perform strict checks to ensure maximum compatibility and suitability of all spare parts. The proactive adoption of high-tensile steel, appropriate hardening processes, polishing, and final finishing through wrapping contribute to the high reliability, productivity, and economic efficiency of SACMA machines. The concept of enabling tool changes in the shortest possible time is essential for adapting to small lot production that breaks the conventional norms of the cold forming industry and realizing further competitive productivity. In developing the tool change system, SACMA does not allow compromises that would undermine the rigidity and power characteristics of the basic machine itself. The model featuring the quick tool change system, referred to as "CR," is standard equipment for header sizes 3, 4, 5, and 6, allowing for easy attachment and detachment of the hydraulic clamp dive lock, punch block bolster, and transport arm integrated unit.

Innovative solutions, a new concept in screw rolling centers, eliminating manual work, that is, complete computerization.

A flexible production system is an important factor in developing new markets. Production using highly customized equipment, tailored to customer needs and strategies, is a key element. One of the solutions proposed by Ingramatic is the screw rolling center, which is designed for high flexibility and aims to provide agile production equipment that meets diverse market demands with a single production unit. It can be applied to screw rolling on blanks after heat treatment, as well as the production of (grooved) special blanks and stud bolts. To accommodate these various products, Ingramatic has equipped the system with different loading systems to enable shared production of standard bolts and stud bolts with a single machine. The machine features a vibration feeder for standard bolts and a tube-type supply system dedicated to feeding stud bolt blanks, along with guide rails that cater to both types.

**Seminar Overview** The construction industry faces many challenges, including a shortage of personnel, regulations on maximum working hours, and the need for efficiency improvements. Additionally, the transmission of skills due to an aging workforce has become a significant issue, with a high turnover rate among younger employees who are supposed to carry on these skills. In this seminar, we will discuss the causes of turnover based on case studies and explain key points on how to reduce turnover rates by advancing IT integration.

**Seminar Overview** "Generative AI," which is gaining attention as a method for improving business efficiency and utilizing internal digital transformation (DX), can be influenced by the literacy of the employees using it, potentially increasing the burden of work instead. In this seminar, we will discuss the current challenges of generative AI while providing examples of how it can be used to enhance business efficiency. We will also explain how to utilize generative AI in a way that achieves efficiency without being dependent on the user's skills. We hope this will serve as a reference for considering the use of generative AI.

**Seminar Overview** The reality that young members leave their jobs due to miscommunication with their superiors occurs in every industry. This is also true in the construction industry. The long-standing issues of labor shortages, regulations on working hours, and the challenges of passing on skills due to an aging workforce are significant problems. However, the misalignment in communication with young employees, who are supposed to be receiving this knowledge, may actually worsen the situation. In this seminar, we will discuss the causes of communication gaps as seen through case studies, and talk about methods for skill transfer, knowledge accumulation, and smooth internal communication using IT tools.
