[Case Study 010] Reducing assembly man-hours by half through innovations in processing.

Two springs in one set! Contributing to the simplification of customer order management.

We will introduce a development case of Advanex's "compression spring." For a one-way clutch bearing for cars, it was necessary to assemble 32 springs to press 16 needles against the retainer. However, the assembly required a significant amount of labor, and the customer was looking for ways to reduce this workload. The machine setter decided to switch to an NC multi-forming machine and, through innovations such as preparing a subprogram, made it possible to combine two springs into one set. As a result, the assembly labor was reduced by half, and the customer's order management was also successfully simplified.
