Cost reduction through consideration of materials and shapes in sheet metal processing to streamline setup.
This is a cost reduction case achieved through material optimization and setup reduction using VA/VE methods for multiple material sheet metal units.
This is a case of VA/VE that aims to reduce costs in sheet metal processing by minimizing setup and optimizing shapes. The key point in the cost reduction method is to unify materials while maintaining shape and reducing setup time to decrease man-hours. Sheet metal processing → Setup reduction (cost reduction through material reduction) To hold the central square pipe, it is structured with ribs on both sides. In such cases, adopting the same square pipe as the one that is standing up allows for material unification, which I think results in a fairly good shape. Here, one VA/VE has already been achieved, but we will further pursue cost reduction.

basic information
■One Point: We will consider minimizing the use of multiple types of materials as much as possible. 【Before Improvement】 ● A television stand was made using square pipes in the development prototype (using 30mm square pipes) Initially, it was planned to manufacture everything with square pipes, but it was considered that the red-marked areas would take extra time due to the angles involved, so a review was conducted. 【After Improvement】 ● Processed with SPC 3.2T and welded with square pipes This eliminated the angled processing, resulting in easy-to-handle sheet metal processing and stable quality parts. ○ For more details, please contact us.
