We will be exhibiting at the Biwako Environment Business Messe 2016!

A case study explaining eight common issues in prototype and development sites, such as 'there is variation in product accuracy between prototyping and mass production' and their solutions!

The 'Challenges and Solutions in Prototype Manufacturing and Development' is a case study document that explains common 'concerns' and 'issues' faced by personnel in prototype and development settings, along with their solutions. It introduces numerous solutions that can only be achieved through Mazda's five-axis machining. 【Do you have any of these concerns? (A few examples)】 ■ There are no vendors willing to prototype products that are overly complex in design... ■ I need micron-level precision even for large parts... ■ There is variability in product precision between prototyping and mass production, leading to a lack of stability... *Please view the PDF data of 'Challenges and Solutions in Prototype Manufacturing and Development' from the download.

Manufacturing Industry Koma War, Kinki Region Championship! What is "cold forging," which can produce parts with high machining precision?

"Cold forging" is a processing technology that prevents distortion due to heat, material loss from cutting, and variations in processing accuracy by deforming the material without heating it! 【Technology that won first place at the All Japan Manufacturing Industry Top Spinning Tournament 2012, Kinki location】 【Features】 ◆ No distortion from heat, resulting in high processing accuracy ◆ Minimal material loss, fast processing speed, and the ability to produce uniform products ◆ Technology capable of handling everything from prototyping to mass production 【Exhibiting at the All Japan Manufacturing Industry World Spinning Tournament!】 ◆ Date: 2015/2/15 ◆ Location: Osanbashi Hall ◆ Exhibited product: Metal block "Metalock" made with micron precision 【For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us】 　　　　　↓　↓　↓　　　　　　　　　　　　↓　↓　↓

Pioneer of cold forging

The in-house developed unique cold forging molds (carbide molds) have reduced the mold manufacturing period by half, and we are working on creating a responsive system for delivery times and specification changes. Additionally, as part of our environmental initiatives, we have achieved reductions in rare metals such as tungsten through our uniquely developed VA molds, as well as cost reductions and CO2 reductions through the rationalization of processing methods. Furthermore, we are conducting research and development aimed at extending the lifespan of our products.

CLT, which has been widely adopted in the construction field, is now expanding its applications into the civil engineering sector. The "Hyper CLT Mats" are civil engineering CLT products that utilize wood CLT as temporary materials. Traditionally, steel plates have been the mainstream choice for temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery yards. The Hyper CLT Mats introduce a new option of "wood" to that market. The 5x10 mats weigh approximately 230 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove with small machinery, with a maximum capacity of 40 mats on a 10-ton truck. They also have advantages in terms of workability and transportation efficiency. Moreover, they offer added value that can only be achieved with wood, such as glare reduction, noise control, CO2 fixation, and consideration for aesthetics. This product is expected to be a new proposal for not only construction companies but also building material firms, lumber companies, and material trading companies. It is a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS, with the registration number "TH-250021-A." The use of wood is not limited to construction anymore. The utilization of Hyper CLT Mats is expanding as a new market that connects civil engineering and wood.

Fukuda Corporation has been pursuing leak detection for 60 years and is dedicated to advancing the future of leak testing. 【 Supporting Various Leak Tests: Air Leak Test / Gas Leak Test (Hydrogen Gas, Helium Gas) 】 We develop, manufacture, and sell leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing performance. We will propose suitable testers and devices for each inspection target. 【 Target Industries and Examples of Inspection Targets 】 - Automotive Industry: Engines, FC components, valves and piping, various parts - Electronic Components Industry: Smartphones, keyless switches, various small sensors - Pharmaceuticals / Food / Cosmetics Industry: Bottle containers, syringes, vials, eye drop containers, pillow packaging, PTP packaging We will propose the most suitable leak testers for each industry. 【 ISO Certification 】JIS Q 9001:2015 (ISO 9001:2015)

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
