[Magazine Contribution] Tool Engineer September Issue Special Edition "Machining Technology to Minimize Waste"

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. [Contents] - Press forming process considering hemming results - Comparison of individual part springback and subassembly springback - Results of process verification *For more details, please refer to the "Catalog Download."

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.

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 any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be conducted 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 required, please contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly creating 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! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be created in a single molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

We often receive questions such as, 'Is the wooden mat durable?' and 'Is it safe for large machinery to drive on it?' The Hyper CLT mat (NETIS registration number TH-250021-A) was developed to address these concerns and is a site-compatible mat designed for construction sites. While it appears to be made of wood-based materials, it is practical for use with heavy machinery, vehicle access, and as a temporary road, unlike typical wooden boards. In fact, it ensures durability that allows for the safe use of large machinery without issues, meeting the performance requirements expected on site. Additionally, the Hyper CLT mat is characterized not only by its strength but also by its aesthetic appeal and environmental considerations unique to wood materials. It contributes to enhancing the value and differentiation of the site as a new option distinct from traditional steel mats. This product offers a new discovery: instead of thinking 'wood is concerning,' you can realize 'there is a wooden mat that can be used to this extent.' We encourage you to consider the Hyper CLT mat (NETIS registration number TH-250021-A), which combines durability, practicality, and added value.

The Hyper CLT flooring board is a wooden flooring board that utilizes CLT developed by KAITAKU Co., Ltd. It was developed as a new CLT flooring board to replace conventional steel plates, with an eye toward use in temporary roads, access roads, and construction sites. In addition to its functionality as temporary material, it is also gaining attention for its lightweight nature and environmental considerations. One of its significant features is the improvement in transportation efficiency due to its lightweight. Conventional flooring boards and steel plates are heavy, making transportation and handling costly and labor-intensive, while the Hyper CLT flooring board is expected to reduce the burden during transport, ultimately leading to lower transportation costs. The use of CLT in the civil engineering field is still relatively rare, which makes it easier to differentiate and enhances proposal capabilities on-site. Including its soft impression as a wooden flooring board and consideration for the landscape, it is recommended for those considering the development of temporary roads and access roads, as well as those looking for lightweight and transportation-efficient temporary materials. For inquiries about the details and sales of the Hyper CLT flooring board, or to request product materials, please feel free to contact us.
