[Technical Case] Improved Production Efficiency through Shortened Processes

Experience in the construction industry! Introduction of a case where delivery time was shortened by changing the processing process.

Zawakawa Forging Industry Co., Ltd. is a company engaged in the manufacturing of cold-forged bearing products, machining of hydraulic pump parts, and the production of aluminum machined products. We would like to introduce our achievements in realizing short delivery times through innovative ideas for process changes. **Challenge: "Review of Processing Steps"** We received a request from a major construction machinery manufacturer to review the processing steps for shaft components used in the engine parts of caterpillars. **Solution:** - Reduced 5 processing steps to 3 * By performing "simultaneous grinding at two locations," we shortened the grinding (done twice) and finishing processes that were necessary to achieve coaxiality. - Setup time was reduced, leading to increased production efficiency. - Quality stabilized, and the defect rate decreased. **Actual Product** - **Client:** Major construction machinery manufacturer - **Product Name:** Shaft components used in the engine parts of caterpillars (8000 pieces of 4 types per month) - **Material:** SCM415 (case-hardened material) - **Precision:** ±8μm For more details, please refer to our catalog or feel free to contact us.
