Achieving short delivery times with a 50,000 RPM air turbine spindle! A case study using ADC12 machining.
We received an inquiry from a major local automotive parts manufacturer asking, "Could you process 60 units of the casing for us?" Typically, gypsum casting is used for large quantities, but they requested, "We want to conduct a pre-production evaluation in a short period, so we would like you to provide machined parts made of ADC12, even if it incurs some costs." In response, we proposed the best and fastest method that could be achieved. While securing a manufacturing line for other customers, we utilized a key piece of equipment, the "50,000 RPM air turbine spindle," to operate the remaining line 24 hours a day. We determined that adopting a production plan based on this would allow us to reduce processing time. Additionally, by rearranging the processes during the day and conducting unmanned processing at night, we established an efficient production plan that finally enabled us to meet the delivery deadline and respond according to the specified delivery schedule. 【Case Study】 ■ Application: Prototype casing for electric VVT drive unit ■ Method: Machining from ADC12 ■ Size: Diameter 120mm, Thickness 20mm ■ Delivery Time: 1 month ■ Quantity: 60 units *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Our company specializes in machining ADC12 through cutting. We excel at processes that "cut out" shapes from solid metal, rather than standard hole machining or contour machining. Our equipment primarily consists of Okuma machining centers, which are highly precise and suitable for prototyping. We are currently expanding new orders, focusing on our younger staff! We also sell ADC12 sheet materials and round bars.
