Achieving short delivery times through creative ingenuity! Supporting product development with ADC12 machining and unique equipment.
We received an inquiry from an automotive design company stating, "The design specifications have changed multiple times, the drawings are delayed, and the deadline for prototypes is approaching. Is there anything we can do about it?" They requested the delivery of 15 units within one month and asked us to review the design drawings, specifying that they wanted to consider two methods: gypsum casting and machining (full machining). Since the desired delivery date was already less than a month away, we determined that gypsum casting would not be feasible and proposed the machining (full machining) method instead. We explained that we would use ADC12 block material for the prototypes, which has the same material properties as the mass-produced items. Using a horizontal machining center, we were able to set up the next material in the spare pallet even during processing, allowing us to continue machining without stopping the machine, and we were able to deliver as scheduled in three weeks. [Case Study] ■ Application: Prototype of car navigation housing ■ Method: ADC12 machining ■ Size: 200×120×40 (mm) ■ Delivery Time: 3 weeks ■ Quantity: 15 units *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Proposal】 ■ Machining using ADC12 without nests - We propose a machining method using total machining. - A test-use ADC12 block material will be used. - Material properties similar to mass-produced items. ■ Production plan using horizontal machining centers - Can be accommodated with a special production plan and processing preparations (fixture manufacturing). - The cost is approximately 120,000 yen per unit. 【Points】 ■ Horizontal machining center - The next material can be set in the standby pallet even during processing. - Continuous machining is possible without stopping the machine. - A schedule is set to run for 22 hours a day and executed. - As a result, what usually takes 1.5 months is completed in 3 weeks. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
We are a Japanese precision machining company specializing in prototype and low-volume production. Our strength is machining complex parts directly from solid material using CNC machining centers, including parts that are difficult to produce by conventional automated machining services. We have extensive experience in automotive prototype parts and various industrial components, and our facility is equipped mainly with Okuma machining centers. We also supply ADC12 sheet material and round bars. ADC12 parts can be machined directly from solid stock, making them suitable for prototype evaluation before die-casting production, without the casting voids that may occur in actual die-cast parts.
